On this day 14 years ago, Jaroslav Halak stopped 53 of 54 shots as the Habs won Game 6 by a score of 4-1. This forced a game 7 against the President’s trophy-winning Capitals. Habs would win that game and advance.

    It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot). Fully cached AMP pages (like the one OP posted), are [especially problematic](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

    Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/habs-beat-caps/](https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/habs-beat-caps/)**

    My aunt was at that game with my mom! She told me the crowd was wild after each of Halak save when they realise he was going to steal that game! Her greatest memory at the Bell Centre.

    That year was so fun to watch, underdogs all the way

  5. tastesoff74

    That was a great run! We’ve had better goalies, but that run was one of the finest stretch of goaltending I’ve seen.

    Underrated part of that game, Lapierre’s rocket to make it 3-0. At that point, I thought it was game over for Washington; we were going seven.

    Those 2 series were the wildest we’ve ever been while Going out for playoff hockey, couldn’t get into it as much in 2021 even if it was a SCF because the world was on fire.

    54 SOG is comical. I didnt watch the game, but sounds like he was lit the fuck up

  9. Sharky_Caron

    Greatest game I’ve watched at the Bell Centre. The party outside after the game lasted hours. We knew we were winning game #7 in Washington.

  10. Aside from the cup finals, this was my favorite playoff run. Halak and Cammalleri were such a force

    I still remember game 7 watching from the bell center on the big screen. Probably the most fun I’ve had at the Bell. It might have been the penguins series come to think of it. Those 2 series were just a blur of drunken joy

    That era of Theodore, Huet and Halak pushing us into 7th or 8th seeds then spoiling it for the 1 and 2 seeds was epic.

    The run that made me a fan. Such great memories.

  14. Halak, what a legend. That year everyone thought he was the man and Price was just some young punk. I was choked when he got traded. Boy was I wrong about that one

  15. Ready2retire613

    Halak won that series, I was shocked we didn’t get more when we traded him

  16. Was at my grandpas with my dad. He lives on an island, on a lake. Remote. Only had an old tv with an antenna. We boated up to a neighbouring friends cottage, in a storm. What is usually a five minute boat ride took about an half an hour or so. We watched the game there since he had satellite. Great memory. Great win. What a run.
