Montreal's margin was again just 1 goal. Then, at the sixminute mark, Hampson broke in alone on Dryden after receiving a great pass from ex-Canadien Bobby Rousseau. But Hampson's shot went into Dryden's pads. "If Hampson had picked the corner of the net," Minnesota general-manager Wren Blair said later, "the score would have been 2-2." At 9:49 Minnesota's Barry Gibbs was detected for tripping and just nineteen seconds later Peter Mahovlich tipped in Lapointe's 30-foot screamer. That broke the North Stars. In the next four-and-a-half minutes the Canadiens got goals from Ferguson, Frank Mahovlich and Cournoyer to win going away. The Canadiens wrapped up the series in game number six at Minnesota. The final score was 3-2. That game will rank as one of the more memorable of Stanley Cup play because Ted Hampson shot the puck past Dryden for what would have been the tying goal just a split second after the green light went on , signaling the end of the game. Montreal had gained the finals. Shared by @HockeyMagazines On to the Stanley Cup From the standpoint of physical and mental readiness, the Canadiens and Black Hawks offered something of a contrast as they entered the Stanley Cup finals. The Canadiens had suffered physically at the hands of the Bruins, as does every team that takes them on, but even more important they had reached an emotional high in winning that first round against the highly favored leagueleaders. With that upset behind them , Montreal suffered a natural letdown, which explained , in part, the unexpected difficulties they had in disposing of the North Stars. The question was, had Montreal lost its competitive edge? The Black Hawks should have entered the series at their competitive peak. Chicago had swept Philadelphia in the first round with an ease that was almost embarrassing. Hull and company rode in on the Flyers' goal all but unchallenged. And at the other end of the ice Tony Esposito was seldom put to a severe test. But in the second round, against the Rangers, it was an entirely different story. The 1971 Chicago-New York series is regarded as one of the best in Stanley Cup history. The Hawks won in seven games. But two of those games were decided in overtime periods. A third game was settled in the third overtime period. The teams played almost two full games that night. In the seventh and deciding game Chicago rallied from a 2-1 deficit midway in the second period to win by a score of 29
