Canadiens vs Canucks Top Six Minutes: Seems About Right

The Canadiens need to get the heck out of Western Canada right now, luckily they get to.

By Mike Obrand Oct 31, 2014, 12:56am EDT

As of 9:49 PM Eastern time Lars Eller may or may not be playing. We'll find out in 11-17 minutes.

First Period

The starting forward line, according to the Habs, is Gallagher (Played in Vancouver for his Jr. career)-Malhotra (graciously left Vancouver)-Weise (Ungraciously left Vancouver).
The anthem singer is an out of shape Viggo Mortensen.
Alex Galchenyuk makes me express emotion audibly at least once a game.
Confirmed by my eyes: Lars Eller is in
Price calmly catches the puck, Derek Dorsett tries to get to him but Tinordi is just like "no"
The Habs PP is so reliant on the perfect play.
You think it's Lucas Bisa and he just never corrected the typo?
I legit thought P.K. was going to get called for that spinorama
Canucks fans must feel like absolute trash with their building overflowing with Go Habs Go chants.
Do all of you count Corsis in your head when Corsis happen even if the shot doesn't hit the net? I do
Commercials should be optional
Has Ryan Miller worn a jersey that isn't blue? Buffalo, St. Louis, Vancouver, Team USA.
Why isn't Yannick Weber being in this game a bigger story?
I did the research. Miller played for blue Rochester Americans in the AHL too. Last time he wore a non-blue jersey was in college when he played for Michigan State.
Alex Burrows became so irrelevant so quickly.
First period ends with Carey Price putting on a show again. He's coming to a city near you folks!

First Intermission

I saw the EOTP commentunity have fun with Halloween names. Here are my spooky Halloween Habs: Doug Murray and Francis Bouillon on the ice at the same tiiiiiIIIIIIIiiiiiime. It's scary because it's true.

Second Period

The Habs are now going left
If Bourque dangerously shoved someone into the boards and then said that he didn't know where he was on the ice I would believe him.
Fans are chanting Ole at Rogers Arena. I never got the beef with that chant. Chant away.
Price lets one hit the post for fun.
Eller is babysitting Bourque.
Alexei Emelin with quite possibly the worst outlet pass I've ever seen and I watched Doug Murray play defense for a full year.
Wow, a really, really ratty hit by Burrows. That's why Emelin didn't get back.
The only way Burrows can stay relevant is by headhunting, it seems.
Still waiting on that Burrows make up call
This Habs team just can't score goals right now.
Lars Eller is everywhere.
The Habs have played pretty well at home. Not sure why they're firing blanks tonight.

Second Intermission

Third Period

The talent on Sportsnet has a massive gap in it. Strombo, Marek, Friedman, other good people ... a chasm ... then crap.
Yep, another weird Habs comeback is coming.
Emelin is back in the lineup which definitely isn't a bad call.
Burrows missing a wide open net is pretty perfect.
And Price lets one in that he never lets in.
Richardson should bronze that puck.
Nothin' doin'
I think Bourque needs to practice with a peewee team to learn the basics again. Looks like he makes the wrong decision every time. The effort is there though.
10 minutes left. Get wacky.
Galchenyuk wants to get wacky!
And the Habs take their only penalty of the game down by one with five minutes left.
I have hope
MAAAAAAX POOOOOOWWWWEEEEEERRR
The game got wacky!
Another point in the bank.

Dry Scrape
