The postseason came to an end with a resounding thud for the Habs, who dropped three straight to finish their season on a very frustrating note. In St. John’s, the IceCaps managed a split in their first two games but Game Two certainly ended on a frustrating note for them as well.
The Habs started off their elimination game on Saturday night with a bang but fell apart after the opening 20 minutes to fall 3-1 to the Rangers, ending the series in six games.
On Tuesday night, the Canadiens were looking to take a stranglehold in their first round series against the Rangers. However, it was New York that played with the sense of urgency that the occasion called for and the Blueshirts came away with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Montreal.
Although the Habs didn’t start the playoffs on a high note, they find themselves in good shape through three games of their first round series. In St. John’s, it took until the final day of the season but the IceCaps are indeed heading for the postseason as they get set to take on Syracuse.
On Sunday, the Habs were looking to reclaim home ice advantage in their first round series against the Rangers and put forth a solid defensive effort to pull out a 3-1 win, giving them a 2-1 lead in the series.
