Cammalleri Stays Hot As Habs Even Series

Mike Cammalleri scored two goals and Jaroslav Halak made 38 saves as the Canadiens surprised the Pittsburgh Penguins by winning 3-1 on Sunday to even their series at a game a piece.

Canadiens head coach Jacques Martin didn't name Halak as Game 2 starter until just before the game itself considering his getting shelled in Game 1.

Game 3 is Tuesday night in Montreal, followed by Game 4 on Thursday. The first playoff series between the teams since 1998 returns to Pittsburgh for Game 5 on Saturday.

Here's one of Cammalleri's goals. One more suited for BP or bunt practice...

Sportsnet's version is here...

There were a few, under the radar, deals that we liked...

Nashville signed Steve Sullivan, but lost a boatload of defensemen...
John Madden went from NJD to CHI
Erik Cole stayed in Carolina

We see where Brian Burke is going... Getting rid of Pavel Kubina while picking up Garnet Exelby ((Perpetual good dude- we don't think the GTA is ready for his wardrobe, though)) and Colton Orr. He still has money under the cap to play with.

And Mark Spector is still chasing the possible Dany Heatley to Edmonton scenario. Apparently, all parties are meeting in British Columbia to talk it out...
