Canadiens @ Red Wings Top Six Minutes: Total Domination

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.

First Period

• Ok Habs, I have a terrible head cold, and am feeling awful. I win would definitely help me feel better.
• Mete and Petry together? I like that.
• On the other hand, Benn and Weber against Larkin makes me nervous...
• Not a bad start. If they could just hit the net...
• Poor Lehk.
• Oh hi Rosie.
• Please go play in the other zone Habs. this isn't good...
• THANK YOU TUNA. Oh my. That was nice. Against his former team too.
• And even better than that, no power play.
• Is it supper petty of me to hope that Kotkaniemi way outplays Zadina in this game?
• Huh. That was a pretty good shift.
• I did not realize Shaw had that many points this year.
• Oh geez, Habs...come on.
• I WAS going to say this would be a good time for a Byron shorty...but that'd be a bit difficult seeing as he's in the box...
• Please get the puck out of the zone...
• Oh no Lehk. Wait... Detroit pulled their goalie, and there's not six players.
• That's also not a high-stick lol.

Second Period

• Come on Montreal. Please get your act together.
• ANDREW. That was a funny one!
• Oh. Oh Lehk. My sweet summer child. One of these days those goals will come back.
• CAREY.
• GALLY GOALS ARE THE BEST GOALS. IT IS KNOWN.
• Geez. Two GoT references in a row. I didn't even do that on purpose.
• How did no one put that one past Howard.
• ...Geeez Max. That almost ended terribly.
• Domi makes an almost terrible mistake on one end, and then goes to the other end and scores a beauty.
• Joel may have never been so open in his life. (Detroit, were you even trying?) Kotka, you beauty. That net was SO wide open.
• Geez. Montreal why.
• SHAW AGAIN. OH MY.
• Oh Andrew.

Third Period

• Jonathan Bernier in nets now.
• Dear sweet lord. Max Domi is having a very good night.
• The Red Wings defense? Not so much.
• Clearly the solution to the power play problem is to literally never have one.
• Please do not break Shea Weber.
• Haha I'm not the only one with Game of Thrones on the mind.
• Maybe we could get Lehk a goal this game...
• Or....mayyyybe not.
• Get Domi a hatty.
• Get Shaw a hatty.
• Get Lehk and/or Mete a goal...
• Not a tall order or anything...
• ...that came out of left field.
• Lehk. Oh Lehk.
• SHAWZY WITH THE HATTY.
• Max Domi has five points. Just saying. And Drouin has four. That line was ridiculous.
• Carey Price doing Carey Price things.
• Montreal wins 8-1!!!
