Canadians finally get past the Bruins.
The Canadians started game 7 a little tentatively and were being outplayed by Boston in the first period. Only some very solid goaltending from Carey Price had the Canadians enjoying a 1-0 lead after the first period.
In the second the Canadians started to skate and use their speed to create more chances. They were successful at getting the puck deep on the Boston defense and then forcing turn over’s. Mark Streit scored Montreal’s second goal and it was a beauty. It was a combination of quick passing, speed and skill.
Carey Price remained strong and focused in the net and proved to his detractors that he could over come the rookie jitters from the previous games and play in a pressure packed game at the level of a seasoned veteran. He was very solid in shutting out the Bruins.
The final score was 5-0 but it almost seemed that after the first period the Bruins had very little left in the tank to compete for the rest of the game. In other games, the young guns in Washington went into Philadelphia and beat the Flyers 4-2, to force a game 7 in Washington tomorrow night. In other hockey developments, I would keep my eye on the Colorado Avalanche. Adding Adam Foot and Peter Forsberg at the trade deadline gives them some solid leadership to help out Joe Sakic. I think if Forsberg and Foot can stay healthy, the Aves could be the Dark horse in the West. Forsberg seems to be playing some inspired hockey right now and looks like the” Peter the Great” of a few years back. That could be trouble for the rest of the west. Dallas is also showing great promise after finally getting the monkey off their back and advancing to the second round for the first time in 5 years. It came at the expense of the Anaheim Ducks the current title holders. There will be a new cup champion again this year. Sincerely Walt Webb
