If there is one thing you can say about NHL playoff hockey its the fact that it doesn't matter what seed you are anyone can beat anyone. Facing elimination for the 4Th time in these play offs and down 1 goal in the second period the Montreal Canadians dug deep and found a way to force the defending Stanley cup champions to the brink.
Yes Sidney Crosby finally got a goal in this series, but Mike Cammalleri scored 2 and stole the show. Jaroslav Spacek, has has missed the last 8 games due to injury, scored a pivotal 2ND goal to get momentum back in the second period.
The atmosphere was so loud the announcers had a hard time hearing any announcements and the players had a hard time hearing any whistles. The way the fans responded to not only their team but the action on the ice was breath taking. For anyone who enjoys sport it gave you chills to watch that game and hear that building.
Montreal snuck into the playoffs and after ousting the top overall seed in the playoffs in 7 games they have set their sights on Pittsburgh. Game 7 will be in Pittsburgh tomorrow night and I have no doubt that it will be as loud their as it was in Montreal. In what is sure to be a fantastic game, they effort put forth by these Canadians is what truly shows you what the game is all about.
