The Habs took an early lead but gave up 4 straight goals to the refs I mean the Devils to totally kill any good vibes we had about them after the Chicago win.

For our new readers and members, Top Six Minutes is a brief overview of the Habs game, and a continuation of the discussion threads usually happens in the comments. We try to keep it light and entertaining, even when the Habs make it hard. Full recaps/analysis/walks of shame go up the morning after every game.

Big thanks to Laura for tagging me in for this edition of TSM. Hope this will entertain you more than the game we’re about to watch will.
If that last dot point didn’t give it away I’m doing this live.
Getting this out of the way now: The Devils are worse than watching paint dry, grass grow and turtles of the non-teenage mutant variety walk.
Looking at the wildcard standings, the Devils are like a 75 year old morbidly obese person: You have no idea how but they’ve stuck around.
A ton of talk about Jagr wanting to come to the Habs 3 times but kept getting turned away. I haven’t seen a European get rejected that much since Charles Darwin went to church.
I’m still pretty high on the Habs win over the Blackhawks. Figure it will dissipate soon enough.
Begins watching Habs-Devils game.
There it goes.
The Habs have beaten the Devils twice this season which marked the first two wins for the Habs against the Devils in franchise history.
Finding out pre-game that Desharnais is out and that Lars Eller is playing with Max Pacioretty is like going to your garage to get in your civic and finding a Ferrari there instead.
Do you think George Parros’ moustache is conscious?
Bournival-Briere-Bourque must have some people who don’t know who Rene Bourque is pretty happy.
Max Pacioretty’s shot went mach 2
In Brodeur's defense the cataracts couldn't have helped with that shot.
I haven't eaten Brendan Gallagher's burger but I can imagine it tastes just like plays: Like sandpaper.
Gionta gets a free pass to noogie his younger brother all game. It's a rule look it up.
Jagr had his way with the Canadiens and left because he had an early meeting.
The scales were pretty balanced for the 1st period which is odd considering Brodeur weighs 300 pounds.
You all have the pleasure of reading this without a 17 minute intermission.
The Devils' second goal comes a point where I begin wondering if having a powerplay gives the team with said powerplay an advantage.
The Devils are now up 3-1 and I'm wondering how the Canadiens beat the Blackhawks.
The Habs are a maddening Hockey team. They'll probably win this game.
I'm convinced an alien is living inside Martin Brodeur operating a series of complicated controls from inside him brain. Like that old guy from Men In Black.
Carey Price destroys Michael Ryder with goaltending.
Brendan Gallagher scores! Wait, did he? Yes. But we're waiting anyways.
NHL officiating is worse than farting in an elevator when you're alone and then someone comes in that elevator.
Brodeur is so cocky with the puck. Surprised he hasn't been burned more and then forced out of the league due to a terrible GAA.
I haven't seen reffing this terrible since last night when several NHL games were played.
I whited out due to rage for about 5 minutes there. Hope I didn't miss anything good.
It turns out that furiously typing isn't a fantastic frustration outlet.
I want to slap Therrien in face and yell "Stop putting Bourque on the powerplay" like in the movies.
20 minutes of Devils Hockey left this season.
10 minutes of Devils Hockey left this season
What's really strange is that Rene Bourque was voted "Most likely to make Montreal Canadiens fans wish he was never born" in high school.
Dear Diary, today I met a pretty girl....wait...wrong thread.
If I have a nickel for every time the Habs passed instead of shot tonight I would have 3 nickels that I now want to throw in your face.
I wonder if the puck official keeps pucks in his freezer at home because he'd feel weird if he didn't.
We're done in Montreal. the Habs lose 4-1 to the Devils but we all win because we don't have to watch the Devils anymore until October.
