First Period
- Okay the Habs made it four minutes before allowing the first goal against, so that’s...not as bad as it could have been. Optimism is hard.
- Alex Galchenyuk is definitely going to score tonight.
- I have no memory of a time where our special teams was consistently good. Or good at all.
- Matthew Peca looks pretty good out there.
Second Period
- Nick Suzuki and Nick Cousins are trying to make things happen.
- Gallagher’s going to Gallagher. I would wager he is the skater with the most time spent in the crease. He may have more minutes in net than some backup Goalies.
- Carey Price with a beautiful save, the whole team is looking better this period.
- Cousins is buzzing, he has multiple scoring chances tonight.
- The Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry has more shutouts in the last few games than the Candiens have wins.
- TOMAS TATAR! ON THE POWER-PLAY! Jarry’s shutout streak is over and the Candiens have tied this game.

- JOEL ARMIA! He steals the puck from Kris Letang and gives the Canadiens the lead. That may keep Letang awake tonight.
- Shea Weber scores one as well. I’m not making any claims about causation, but there may be a correlation between taking more shots and getting more goals. This is groundbreaking.
Shea Weber beats Marino around the edge, and scores on a wrap around?

*Checks notes*
Yeah, I guess so!

Third Period
- Protecting the two-goal lead is fine in the third, but I sure wouldn't mind another period like the last one. Give us all the goals.
- Peca is doing a one foot glide to the bench, Evgeni Malkin may have squished him.
-
Carey Price makes a save. That
would most definitelycould have been the Galchenyuk goal I was expecting. - Brendan Gallagher scores on the empty net, extending his scoring streak to four games.
EOTP 3 Stars
3) Kris Letang couldn’t hold him back

2) He’s been saving that speed for this very moment
