Canadiens vs. Panthers Top Six Minutes: Stone Cold in the Sunshine State

Pregame

• It will actually be the first time I will watch Montreal vs. Florida live since I was in the Centre Bell and caught Jagr in a Florida jersey in 2015...
• I wonder if we break the one goal a game tonight?

First period

• Good start, some high quality chances in the first two minutes.
• As soon as I type that Montreal goes to the penalty kill.
• Great defensive play by Morrow to break up the two-on-one, puck didn’t get past him when the pass came.
• Gallagher outside the paint, but the Panters commentary wants a two minute minor on the Canadien.
• Carey Price - enough said.
• Oh damn, Drouin shot - Galchenyuk and Lehkonen infront of the net, Reimer saves though.

Second Period

• 1-0 Home team, lets see if it takes less than 60 seconds until the next goal...
• At least no goals within a minute after the first.
• No sustained pressure in the Florida end for Montreal, the opposite is correct though...
• Sporadic chances, Pacioretty, Drouin but nothing comes out of the few things Montreal creates.
• It’s 2.30 AM, I am not even sure why I said I could do this... Watching paint dry would have been more interesting.
• Danault goes to the box, seems injured as well, got caught in the ice when causing a slow foot.
• Looks bad for Danault, MCL tear?

Intermission

• According to Nick Kypreos, Marc Bergevin is shopping Max Pacioretty....

Third Period

• Gallagher to the box for puck out, this is going well.
• Penalty Kill done, still 1-0 Florida
• 2-0 on a good set up play, Price was left alone, had to push and was left without a chance.
• ... ... ...
• This is just sad...
