Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On the NHL podcast with Matt:

#1 The Dallas Stars answered the Calgary Flames seven times after the Flames opened with three straight goals how much of an undertaking was it for Dallas to come back from behind like that?

#2 The Flames Andrew Mangiapane, Johnny Gaudreau, and Rasmus Andersson opened up the first period with those three goals for the Flames and it looked like the Flames were going to be in business.

#3 The Stars who won the series 4-2 scored seven straight from Miro Heiskanen, Denis Gurianov had four goals, Radek Faksa, and Joe Pavelski. Talk a little about what lit there fire.

#4 The Stars really opened up with five goals in the second period that put the Flames away it was a rally of sorts.

#5 The two Flames goalies Cam Talbot who started allowed four goals and back goalie David Rittich allowed three so the Stars had their offense ready to light the lamp.

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

The Montreal Canadiens hang onto play another day defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 5-3 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The Habs down by one game 3-2 heading into Thursday night’s game 6 against the Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLonNBCSports)

Marko on the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers game 5:

You look at this last series against the Pittsburgh Penguins and a lot of people were just shocked that the Montreal Canadiens were able to take out Sidney Crosby and the Penguins in the qualifying round.

Going into this round people thought the Philadelphia Flyers were going to get stung by Montreal. The Flyers and Canadiens played to a 1-1 series tie and then came the back to back shutouts by the Flyers goalie Carter Hart to give the Flyers a 3-1 series lead and get the Canadiens on the brink of elimination.

On Wednesday night in game five, the Habs drew first blood in the first period when Joel Armia scored his second goal of the playoffs at 2:53. In the second period the Flyers Jakub Voracek got goals at 2:35 and 6:37 to get the Flyers the 2-1 lead. Armia again came right back at 10:12 to even things up 2-2 and picking up his second goal of the game and third of the playoffs. At 11:30 Brendan Gallagher scored at 11:30 putting the Canadiens on top 3-2. The Canadiens Nick Suzuki scored a goal that later was called back the goal would have given the Canadiens a two goal lead.

The third period was another nail biter with the Canadiens ahead 3-2 the Flyers Joel Farabee scored on Habs goalie Cary Price at 10:37 to tie the game 3-3 but Suzuki who had a goal taken away from him in the second period got to keep this one scoring at 10:59 to get Montreal the lead 4-3.

The Canadiens added icing on the cake with a fifth goal scored by Phillip Danault at 19:42 to end the game with Montreal a 5-3 winner and able to live another day. As the Canadiens down by one game  3-2 face the Flyers for game 6 Thursday night.
