Canadiens vs. Islanders Top Six Minutes: Light that Lamp

For our new readers and members, the Top Six Minutes is a continuation of the discussion in the game thread. We try to keep it light and entertaining. Full recaps are up the morning after every game.

This is the first game I get to watch my son Noah, and he's playing in what could have been my home barn if the Islanders had moved a year or two earlier.

First Period

• Oh lord. Just my luck to tune in and have Poulin on colour.
• That's not a great start to the game. Come on Habs.
• GALLY. THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. Chucky and Gally playing on the same line is life.
• Oh man, Lord Byron almost had one there. If I wasn't awake before, I SURE AM NOW.
• ...I thought the Islanders were a playoff team. This does not look like a playoff team.
• Ah. No they aren't any more. No wonder.
• Look. I need a Mango Juus goal pronto.
• Thank you Patch. Thank you Charlie.
• Damn it, Habs. What were ALL of you doing?
• Shots were 14-5 for the Isles? Oh dear.

Second Period

• Drou, why you do this?
• Who broke Mete.
• CHUCKYYYY
• Uhg. Habs, why do you do this.
• Aww Brendan Davidson, how nice to see you.
• The fact that Juulsen plays in all situations makes me so happy.
• Oh my, Chucky. That was pretty.
• That was a not entirely awful power play. Wasn't entirely good either though...
• Drouin was SO close...
• Uuuuuhhhhhgggggggg.
• Wow Julien is NOT amused.

Third Period

• Well, this is less than ideal. First Mete, now Pacioretty are gone. Greeeaaaat.
• Oh wow. Paul Byron with all the patience in the world to score that one.
• MY SON SCORED HIS FIRST GOAL, AND I SAW IT.
• What a shot.
• AHHH WHAT A GOAL.
• Aw damn it, goaltender interference. I dunno about that...
• A HATTY FOR CHUCKYYYYYYY
• Gally pouncing on that puck for Chucky was fantastic. That might be the prettiest empty net goal I've ever seen.
• Juulsen scores his first goal, Chucky has a hat trick, except for Mete and Patch getting hurt, this was a really terrific game.
• THERE ARE OLES IN BROOKLYN.
• HABS WIN 6-3
