Canadiens vs. Ducks Top Six Minutes: Ducks in a Row

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.

I kind of just always assume the Habs are gonna lose against California teams. Yes I know Anaheim is bad, yet all I can think of is:

First Period

• Not gonna lie, I like getting to see the white jerseys at home.
• Well, that was a zing-y start!
• The Finns are flying.
• OH GOD A TWO-ON-ONE ALREADY??? Thank you Jeff. Thank you Carey.
• GALLY GOALS ARE THE BEST GOALS. Seriously, that sniiiiiiiiiiiiiipe though!
• So it's one of those games is it??
• THE EAGLE IS SOARING.
• So of course the Habs then let the Ducks get some ridiculous chances.
• Fortunately, Carey Price is on point.
• GAAAALLLLYYYY GOAAAALLLLL!!!! (This is not a recording!!!)
• What even is this period.
• Something stupid is gonna happen. Something stupid is gonna happen and the Habs are gonna lose.
• Come on, get Gally a first period hat trick.
• The crowd chanting Carey's name is never gonna get old.
• Can we just reject this power play? (Come on boys, prove me wrong.)
• Poor Chad Johnson.
• That was a hilarious first period.
• Here's the real question though...can they keep this up in the following two?

Second Period

• Ok, Habs, here's your mission. Get Victor Mete a goal, and get Gally the hat trick.
• Jeff, don't run your goalie, Getzlaf, don't run Jeff. Kay? Kay.
• Oooh that was a nice move from Hudon.
• Do we really have to go on the power play?
• Oh geez. This is exactly how we're gonna lose the game; by falling asleep in the second period.
• ...Damn it Habs, really????? I didn't want to be right.
• Dear Montreal, the Ducks may be bad, but they are still an NHL team with players who can score if you let them sit in the offensive zone!!!
• Brett...Brett why...
• At least they killed that off.
• Daaaang Domi! That was a very nice shift.

Third Period

• HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN.
• WAIT. IT DID.
• Daaaaaaaaanaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuult.
• JoDru is on fire tonight. All the points are belong to him.
• The Finns creating absolute mayhem is so much fun.
• Domi getting all the looks.
• Well, at least that wasn't a bad power play.
• Awww man, that was close.
• Thank you Carey.
• Well. That was a very fun game.
• HABS WIN 4-1!!
