| Habs In East Finals After Game 7 Upset Of Penguins |
NHL betting enthusiasts who backed the underdog Canadiens in Game 7 received a nice +210 payout for their effort. Pittsburgh had been a -240 home ice favorite in the decisive game and had been a -160 or higher chalk in all 7 games of the series. A hockey bettor that wagered on Montreal throughout the playoffs has now pocketed 11.5 units of profit in the single game bets alone, and another 6 units if they backed the Habs to win each series. The 7 combined goals went OVER the posted total of 5’ -140. The last two games of the series played OVER the total after four consecutive UNDER verdicts in games 2 through 5. Canadiens’ goalie Jaroslav Halek has been sensational throughout the playoffs, and left winger Mike Cammalleri scored his 7th goal of the series and 12th of the postseason in the Game 7 victory. Cammalleri, who came over from Calgary before this season, credits his team’s unexpected playoff success to hard work and determination: "I don't claim we're this great team, I don't claim we're perfect and I don't claim that everything we do is on purpose. I think we're just finding ways to win." Defenseman Hal Gill added: "We played Washington and we were supposed to get killed and we played these guys and we were supposed to get killed. It's nice to be part of a team that gets things done." While goaltender Halek summed up the feelings of many hockey fans: "Who would expect it? Nobody gave us a chance and here we are.” Montreal will now await the outcome of another game 7, this one to determine the winner of the Philadelphia/Boston series. Oddly enough, the three remaining teams in the Eastern Conference were the 6th, 7th and 8th seeds heading into the postseason. The Canadiens have won 24 Stanley Cups in franchise history, and with their current form they’ve got a decent shot at trying for #25.

The Montreal Canadiens may have a history of success unrivaled in the National Hockey League, but no one expected much from this year’s edition. They entered the playoffs with the lowest point total of any team in the postseason, and were expected to be easy prey for the President’s Cup champion Washington Capitals. The Canadiens must not have read the script, however, since they ousted the Caps and followed that series up with a 5-2 Game 7 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins go home, and the Canadiens advance to the Eastern Conference finals to face the winner of the Bopenguinsston/Philadelphia series.
