Melrose Gives His Word: ‘We’re Going to Montreal’
“We’re going to Montreal.”
Those were Coach Barry Melrose’s words in the Kings’ locker room after Thursday’s 5-4 overtime victory sent the Campbell Conference finals back to Toronto for Saturday’s Game 7--with the winner advancing to the Stanley Cup finals at Montreal.
Melrose repeated the phrase three times: “We’re going to Montreal.”
The Kings will win Game 7?
“We’re going to Montreal,” was Melrose’s answer.
Melrose also said: “It’s not a seventh game. It’s a best-of-one now.”
