Montreal played with fire early, in that they were playing against the Penguins and therefore everything they did was a penalty.
The Habs seemed to dominate the play more than the Penguins did at even strength though, and Tomas Plekanec nearly caused Marc-Andre Fleury to pull a MAF and let in a weak goal, but a defenseman came back and took the puck off the goal line.
Hey, do you remember when interference was called in the NHL? Good times.
