((HT: NHL on TSN/Fel0096))
Jaroslav Halak's out-of-his-mind goaltending shined again, and the Montreal Canadiens completed an unlikely comeback to eliminate the NHL's best regular-season team in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Halak made 41 saves, and eighth-seeded Montreal held on to beat Washington 2-1 in Game 7, stunning the Presidents' Trophy winners by knocking off three straight wins.
The Canadiens are the ninth Nunber 8 seeded team to knock off a Number 1 in 32 matchups since the NHL went to this playoff format back in 1994 - and the first to come back from a 3-1 series deficit.
Bully for the parties in the St. Catharine's District Wednesday night...
Here's the Mike Green penalty that led to the Marc-Andre Bergeron goal and a 1-0 lead late in the first period...
Gord Miller and Pierre McGuire are in the booth...
Next up for Halak and the Habs are the Pittsburgh Penguins...
