An excerpt from the TSN post game article of the Habs 5-3 win over the Flyers:
Scottie Upshall wanted to knock down the flying puck and clear some room in front of Philadelphia’s net.
The Flyers forward did use his stick and deflect Michael Komisarek’s shot – only the puck fell right into the net for Montreal’s go-ahead goal.
“For some reason, those tips never seem to go in the other net,” Upshall said. “They go into yours.”
Roman Hamrlik and Komisarek scored goals 44 seconds apart in the third period, helping the Montreal Canadiens rally to beat the winless Philadelphia Flyers 5-3 on Monday night.
The Canadiens could have used some of those breaks in last season’s playoffs when they were the top seed in the Eastern Conference and were promptly bounced by the Flyers in the second round.
“Going into the third period being down to the team that knocked us out last year, and finding a way to win, that definitely says a lot about the guys on the team and should give us more confidence,” Komisarek said.
