First there was Ken Dryden. Then Patrick Roy. Today it's Jaroslav Halak, the latest of Montreal Canadiens goalies who more or less single handedly leads the team to post-season Stanley Cup glory.
With last night's 5-2 game seven victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins, Halak vanquished Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in the playoff's second round, an accomplishment nearly as improbable as the team's first-round elimination of Alexander Ovechkin's President's Cup-winning Washington Capitals.
Up next, either the Boston Bruins or Philadelphia Flyers. I'm hoping for some "original six" hockey.
