OTTAWA -- The Montreal Canadiens couldnt help but feel a sense of payback. The Canadiens have been seeking retribution against the Senators since last spring when Ottawa eliminated them in the opening round of the playoffs. Montreal finally got what it wanted on Friday night as they defeated the Senators 7-4, making Ottawas chance at returning to the post-season that much more difficult as the club sits seven points out of the final wild-card berth with just five games remaining. Max Pacioretty had a hat trick for the Canadiens. "This year we definitely felt like we owed them a little payback for last year in the playoffs and our games have been heated against them," said Pacioretty. "Its not just on the scoreboard that feels good its seeing guys step up and stand up for their teammates. I think thats one of the more rewarding feelings about the night." Andrei Markov, Mike Weaver, Lars Eller and David Desharnais also scored for Montreal (44-27-7) as Peter Budaj stopped 39 shots for his 10th win of the season. Zack Smith scored twice for the Senators (32-31-14) while Ales Hemsky and Mika Zibanejad had the others. Craig Anderson faced 22 shots. Ottawa jumped out to a 3-0 lead before the game was six minutes old, but then allowed the Canadiens to score seven straight times. "Its hard to pinpoint exactly what happened," said Smith. "We lost control of the game. We were up three goals and it didnt take them long to get those back and after that it was hard to get any traction. A couple of soft plays and turnovers and theyre in our net." Smith had few answers as to why or how the Senators could crash so badly, but admitted it wasnt pretty. "We say playing Montreal its an easy game to get up for," said Smith. "Thats embarrassing. Were up 3-0 and they score seven straight." Senators coach Paul MacLean was at a loss for words after the game. "Im numb," he said. "We came out and played and got the lead 3-0 and then we stopped playing. We stopped doing the things that made us successful." With already two on the night, Pacioretty completed his hat trick at 1:09 of the third and Desharnais made it 7-3 midway through the third beating Anderson up high. The Senators finally managed to put an end to the onslaught 14 minutes into the third as Zibanejad beat Budaj. Despite being outshot 15-4 in the second the Canadiens scored twice to take a 5-3 lead after 40 minutes. "Obviously you look at the shots and we got some favourable bounces and thats just the way it goes some nights," said Pacioretty. "It just shows our last two games against them youre never down and out." Montreal took its first lead of the game as Eller jumped on a rebound early in the second to make it 4-3. Ottawa appeared to tie it up on the ensuing play, but the goal was called back due to incidental contact on the goaltender. The call left the Senators extremely frustrated as they felt video review clearly showed there was no contact by an Ottawa player on the play. "It was a bad call, sorry, we disagreed with the call," said Smith. "He was adamant right from the start that there was contact and there wasnt even discussion. Usually when that happens theres discussion, but I have to watch what I say." Montreal made it 5-3 on Paciorettys second of the night as he took advantage of a Senators turnover and broke in alone to beat Anderson through the legs. The game was made that much more interesting after Erik Karlsson checked Brendan Gallagher hard into the boards and Alex Galchenyuk took offense, leading to Karlsson and Galchenyuk exchanging a couple punches. "All season, every time weve played them its been bizarre games," said Montreal coach Michel Therrien. "I liked the way our team stood up for one another. We were down 3-0 and came back and we saw a lot of good things. We showed a lot of character." Trailing 3-0 the Canadiens got on the board as Markov scored off a bad angle down low on Montreals second shot of the game. Two minutes later Weavers point shot made it past a screened Anderson. The comeback was completed as Pacioretty got past Ottawas Eric Gryba on a bouncing puck and beat Anderson between the legs. "Its brutal," said MacLean. "Were at home and we stopped playing. Its not right." After giving up the early lead, Montreals P.K. Subban saw just 37 seconds of ice time in the first and didnt get another shift until the Canadiens went on the power play at the two-minute mark of the second. Ottawa opened the scoring at the two-minute mark of the first as Smith scored his first off his backhand. The Senators made it 2-0 just over two minutes later as Hemsky tipped Patrick Wierciochs point shot and it was 3-0 as Smith scored his second of the game off a great pass from Zibanejad. The Senators played the third without Hemsky, who left with an upper body injury. Ottawa next faces the Rangers Saturday night in New York, while the Canadiens return home to host the Detroit Red Wings. Notes: C Jason Spezza returned to the Senators lineup after missing the last two games. The Senators were without D Jared Cowen (lower body, day-to-day), LW Colin Greening (lower body, day-to-day) and RW Bobby Ryan (sports hernia, out for season). LW Matt Kassian was a healthy scratch. The Senators used the last of its call-ups as it did the paperwork to change Jean-Gabriel Pageaus call-up from emergency to regular recalla Montreal D Douglas Murray served the first of his three-game suspension.

Ireland delivered an historic victory to beat the Springboks for the first time on South African soil, despite playing for 58 minutes with 14 men after CJ Stander was shown a red card for a collision with Pat Lambie.The defeat came as another blow to Springbok pride. The current crop lost to Argentina for the first time in their history during last years Rugby Championship, before going on to famously lose to Japan in the group stages of the World Cup later in the year. Delport was complimentary of Ireland, but says losing to 14 men on home soil is among the worst defeats in recent Springbok history.It ranks similarly to those other shock losses, said Delport.It should be said, Ireland are a very good team. They are consistently in the top five or six sides in the world, and not long ago they won back-to-back Six Nations. Alan Quinlan gives his reaction to Irelands historic victory over South Africa Additionally, going into Saturdays game Ireland had won four of the last nine games against South Africa since 2000.But to lose at home, when the opposition had 14 men on the field for almost an hour is slightly embarrassing.Its definitely in the top five worst losses for South Africa in recent times.The 18-Test international says the consequences go beyond the current series against Joe Schmidts side.Its not just a win for Ireland. Its the confidence gained by other countries who now know they can overcome that hurdle, which is a psychological win for them. Sir Graham Henry says Ireland defended brilliantly with 14 men in their win over South Africa and singles out Conor Murray and Paddy Jackson for praise South Africas no longer the fortress it used to be. The results of recent times have meant the Springboks are losing that psychological battle.The former Bok says the way the Springboks played the game at Newlands appeared to contradict the direction of new coach Allister Coetzee in the build-up.Coetzee said they werent going to change too much.He said they wanted to develop their game but build on the basics of Springbok rugby foremost. Unfortunately the players got caught between two mind-sets. Jamie Heaslip admits Ireland face an uphill task to win the series against South Africa, despite beating them in the opening test Delport believes the Springbok players suffered from a lack of awareness in Cape Town on Saturday.ddddddddddddTo emphasise what Coetzee said after the game about tactical naivety, the players wanted to play too much rugby in the wrong areas of the field and that cost them.When they were caught with the ball out wide they were exposed and turned over.For me a big concern was the urgency on the day. Not enough support for the ball carriers at the breakdown, and when some players did get to the ruck they would give away penalties for going off their feet.Conceding penalties when youre in possession is bad mental application. You have to get that right before you even look at the defence. Highlights of Irelands first Test against South Africa in Cape Town. If South Africa hadnt conceded those penalties they would have built pressure and made the Irish tackle for longer, which would have resulted in them tiring out as youd expect with one man less to defend.Despite the loss, the 41-year-old does not believe Coetzee should wield the axe ahead of the second Test in Johannesburg this weekend.You cant make wholesale changes in a knee-jerk reaction, said Delport. The players will be very aware what went wrong for them on the day. Barnes talking points A great day for the northern hemisphere, but only one day They will feel the sting of the media and the fans, and will mentally be a different side from the one we saw in Cape Town.As recently as the World Cup we saw the reaction on the back of the loss to Japan, the side changed and put up much better performances against Samoa, Scotland and USA.Its a pity that it happened, but the Boks normally have a big reaction to losses like that, so hopefully that trend continues.Tune in for the second Test between South Africa and Ireland, live on Sky Sports 1 from 3.30pm this Saturday Also See: Stander appeal unlikely No excuses from Springboks Schmidt hails super Jackson Follow @SkySportsRugby ' ' '
