The Montreal Canadiens went into the third period with a one-goal lead, but Washington fired back with four in the third, including two empty netters, to take the Game 4 win.
It's by far the biggest event in the city, whether you're at home, with friends, or lucky enough to have tickets to Friday night's game, fans are gearing up to watch the Canadiens take on Washington for Game 3 at the Bell Centre. Some of the excitement in the air may stem from the fact that the province's language minister has now given the 'Go Habs Go' chant the green light. Global's Elizabeth Zogalis reports.
Guhle is also perfect as a partner for Hutson. Guhle can join on the offence intelligently, but he will play it smart picking his spots. Guhle always reads well when he has to cover for a Hutson foray deep offensively.The Canadiens have a first pair for the next decade. One year ago, they didn’t have either player proven that they could elevate to this spot. Rebuilds can also happen quickly.
Slafkovsky made a brilliant zone entry with an extremely talented move to back off the defender. Demidov took over from there with an inside-out move that left the defender nowhere close to him. He took it behind the net, then found Slafkovsky for an outstanding finish.On the go-ahead 2-1 goal it was Demidov again picking up an assist. The Capitals are already backing off Demidov out of respect for his stick skills. He fed Lane Hutson who fed Cole Caufield who just snuck it inside the near post.
If not for two moments of Dobes poorly handling a play more like a shortstop than a hockey goalie, the Canadiens would have been in position to win the contest. It leads to a feeling of the difference being inexperience. Only one way to get that, and it’s play more vital games through the years.In his first game for the Montreal Canadiens, Ivan Demidov scored a goal and added an assist. After his goal, the crowd enthusiasm was electric.
