A look back at Game 7

posted by Kevin Mio at 8h22 EST on Apr 22

They didn't make it easy on themselves after losing Games 5 and 6, but the Canadiens did make it look easy in Game 7 as they dominated the Bruins and sent them packing for the summer with a 5-0 win.

Alex Kovalev maintained his perfect record in Game 7s, now 6-0, and the Canadiens avoided losing a series they were supposed to win easily after grabbing a 3-1 series lead.

Carey Price bounced back in a big way after allowing five goals in each of his last two games to record his second shutout of the series.

Now, the Canadiens await their next opponent, either the Rangers of Flyers, depending on what happens on Tuesday night.

Here's a look at what's being said about Monday's deciding game:

• Dave Stubbs: Habs finally shoo away stubborn Bruins
• Pat Hickey: Suivant ... Next!
• Hickey: Les Glorieux came close to perfection
• The Gazette's Red Fisher: Canadiens save best for last
• The Gazette's Herb Zurkowsky: Fernandez paid price for ignoring pain
• Zurkowsky: Plucky Bruins pushed Habs to limit
• Canoe.ca: Journal de Montréal coverage en français
• Cyberpresse.ca: La Presse coverage en français
• Fluto Shinzawa, Boston Globe: Iced team
• Barbara Matson, Boston Globe: Chara feels sting of Game 7 loss, but praises effort
• Bob Ryan, Boston Glone: Give Bruins their props
• Sean Farrell, Boston Globe: Canadiens find it well worth staying in Price's corner
• Steve Conroy, Boston Herald: Nothing to show for Bruins' effort
• Conroy: Chara faces surgery
• Stephen Harris, Boston Herald: Bruins fall flat
• Harris: To Marco Sturm, the ride was great
• Steve Buckley, Boston Herald: No more doubting Tim Thomas as No. 1

It's sad to see a few young men behaving like hoodlums. It's up to the mayor to protect Montreal's shop owners from these guys. To put enough of a deterrent on the street to stop the thugs, I suggest a sound helping of the army, along with the police. Close Ste.Catherine to traffic at 8:30 PM and shut down everything at 9PM.
A heavy concentration of police and army personnel near the Crescent St. bars would also be in order. Stop the crap before it starts. One other thing. I saw young men doing this. I don't give a rat's a$$ what colour they are. They belong in jail and they should foot the bill for the damage they caused.
If you have photos or video of the hooligans in action, the police need it.
Enough of that. Let's get back to hockey. There are 2 game 7s tonight!

I swear the guy jack a$$ on the roof of that cop car looks a lot like Sean Avery. Could it be him? Maybe he couldn't find his black book. Ha!

Who else wants Philly to win tonight? At least it will be easy to find another player to replace Chara in the boo section aka Briere!

As just a hockey fan, a Caps vs Pens series would be the best thing for the NHL. As a Habs fan, a Flyers win would be beneficial for us. I think the Habs match up much better against them. The Rangers play a smothering style much like the Bruins, we have had enough of this boring style. Plus who want to see Avery for a whole series.

In the links you provide below there are all kinds of colors (including white). So I think you calling out 'MINORITIES' is a little exclusive, no? If you have an axe to grind take it elsewhere my friend.

axe? (Minorities, as race, class etc,) it seems you refer Minorities as "just" skin of color ... perhaps you have an axe to grind my friend!

Just curious why you are blaming 'MINORITIES' as you brought it up. And yes, I realize that minority reflects (skin color, race, religious belief, sexual orientation amongst other things) as defined under the Charter of Rights in Canada.

My apologies if I misunderstood. If you care to elaborate on your comment that would be great.

No problem ... it seems the delinquents that caused these acts of crime were minorities (as in class specifically, most of them looked like juvy bums) Hardly any were actual Habs fans (no jerseys or paraphernalia) ... as someone mentioned (a hip hop concert let out along with the Habs game)

To quote Ice Cube, "gangsta rap made me do it"

Do you mean, "Is the guy jumping on the cop car wearing Hab paraphenelia?"

No, he's not... but one of the guys in the background egging him on is.

“You don’t like that feeling,” Chara said. “It’s one of those feelings you never want to feel again.”

I hate the white towels. It was great for Vancouver back in the day with Roger Neilson (an a million other times and places), but it's just not a Hab thing. Get rid of them.

I feel like RED towels would justify the "ROUGE" more!

Most newscasts fail to mention that a "hip hop concert" was letting out the same time as the Canadiens game ended. Just saying.

Everyone has a right to express their own individuality.

Heyyyyy, it was just a joke, actually making fun of that song. I find it (the song) stupid also.

The right I was talking about wasn't regarding that. Don't go off the wagon. People can dress pretty much any way they want.
