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.
Pre-game:
Everyone is trying Swedes to beak the losing streak, Claude Julien brings in Gustav Olofsson and Eyes On The Prize brings in me. Whereas I was the first Swede on the roster for Eyes On The Prize, Victor Olofsson is Swede number 15 for Montreal; can you name the others?
First Period:
- We are off, and Armia scores eight seconds in! Must have been a Yuoppi birthday gift from the Flyers.
- Another chance, Lehkonen this time, we are a minute into the game!
- Danault slides into the goalie, and goes into the dressingroom to be checked out. No more injuries please!
- HE IS BACK! (Thank you, sir)
- Save! Big save from Kinkaid.
- Olofsson looks solid wearing David Desharnais old number.
- Good defensive work from Lehkonen gives Suzuki a chance, but no goal.
Second Period:
- Another good start, like 48 seconds at least, Armia again.
- Bad guys hit the post, but really, it wasn’t even close.
- Chiarot falls over Kinkaid in a comedy of errors, but no goal allowed.
- The long change killed the defence and we have a tied game.
- Tatar!!! He burries a rebound from within the crease.
- ... and tied game... 2-2.
- Three goals in 1:13 I can’t type that fast.
- Max Domi with a late penalty, not the smartest thing he has done on the ice today.
- Charles Hudon with a breakaway, still tied.
- The defence is shake at best, missing defensive reads every other shift.
- Power play is good, with movement and speed, but no goals.
Third Period:
- Victor Mete is out... injured. (Who will be the next call up?)
- If Montreal started the other two periods best, Philly gets this one, 3-2 after about a minute.
- Lehkonen draws a penalty.
- Power play goal!!! Suzuki to Tatar and we have a tie!
- How close was that! Washout from the ref, I never loved refs more than now.
- Some pressure from the home team now...
- ... but Tatar goes to the sin bin for something something.
- Penalty killed.
- Moomin line almost had it.
- Armia has been a monster today.
Overtime:
- And it’s a loss.... seven in a row.
