Canadiens vs Jets Top Six Minutes: Strong, independent Habs don't need no powerplays

Winnipeg's eight game points streak snaps as the Jets crash back down to Earth.

Word in Montreal is that the Jets players spent Monday night out and woke up hungover this morning. If Habs win, we can thank the entire Boul. St-Laurent for being gracious hosts.
Pre-game Remembrance Day ceremony. Nothing snarky here. It's a somber day, especially considering the events in Ottawa. Bell Centre sounds dead quiet, even before the moment of silence.
The crowd is singing "O Canada" in French. (Alone in my house, I'm quietly singing along)

I leave for a glass of water before the whistle goes, and I nearly miss an offside goal by Brendan Gallagher. What a start.
So many goaltenders in this league must have nightmares about the phrase "KANE ON BREAKAWAY!"
On the replay, I think had Evander Kane made a split second decision to set up Blake Wheeler instead of taking the shot himself, Jets would be 1-0 right now. Still - only milliseconds to decide - can't blame him at all.
SUBBAN NO. Two years ago that would have been enough to bench you for the next ten games.
The last time Montreal scored on a powerplay , writing hasn't been invented yet and the game was recorded by carving crude stick figures on a cave wall.

Habs follow up a disappointing powerplay with another powerplay. You know, I once spent an entire bus ride watching a fly trying to escape the bus - it kept mindlessly hitting the closed glass, even though I could see an open window right next to it.
The above two events have nothing to do with one another at all, of course. I definitely have no idea why I brought it up.

Oh wait, that was actually Lars Eller. Sorry, they look a lot alike.

None of the Jets even saw Eller, but then again, neither does Michel Therrien when giving out ice time.
I'm convinced that Scheifele's name changes everytime someone pronounces it, like a huge gobstopper candy that changes colours every time you spit it out.
Price's been standing on his head so much his helmet came off.
The last time Montreal scored on a powerplay, bards set their deeds to the tune of a jaunty harp and sang it for silver coins at the local tavern.

Let's all take a moment to appreciate Carey Price. He's just...such a good goaltender.
Galchenyuk scores!
I'm watching Winnipeg's home feed, and the Jet's fan passcode is "icing" - not sure what that's for, but very prophetic.
Winnipeg is outhitting Montreal 35-12, but shots are just about even at 27-26. Possession metrics says being outhit means you have the puck more than your opponent, but from the eyetest Habs look like they're just getting hit.
I'm cheering for the Habs, but I screamed in frustration when Kane missed that open net. This could have been a Jets blowout if it wasn't for Price and his magic goalposts. I feel you, Winnipeg bros, I feel you.
Plekanec doesn't miss his open net. Scores.
Game ends, Habs win 3-0
...the last time Montreal scored on a powerplay, someone posted on Myspace about it.
