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
- MIKE JOHNSON!! We win.
- MAYBE DON’T LET EVGENY KUZNETSOV INTO THE ZONE ALL BY HIMSELF.
- Lars. Sob
- I’m so glad Byron’s ok.
- Oooh very nice look from Andrew Shaw there.
- This great start so means that the Washington Capitals are gonna score first.
- The Habs are being aggressive to very good effect this period.
- Oh that was almost so pretty from Petry.
- Of course. Of course it was Lars. Why do you have to break my heart like this??
- I hate being right.
- Oh my word...is that...a POWER PLAY GOAL???
- IT WAS. O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN.
- That passing was mint.
Second Period
- Oh dear sweet lord that was bad.
- How was that onside??
- HOW DID HE MISS THAT?????????
- This is not good.
- Thank you Carey. This is awful. Everything is awful.
- Oh my god why.
- CAREY.
- Montreal is both doing so well and so badly.
- Carey Price is saving their butts.
Third Period
- Everything about this game is making me sad.
- Washington, you don’t NEED this win. Let us have this please.
- Come on Habs...please score...
- Of all the games for the hockey gods to point and laugh, this was the worst.
- Hey NJ, could you please do us a solid and STOP LOSING??????? I don’t want to do another post season of Bitter Bandwagoner Habs Fan’s TSMs. I want to do playoff TSMs, damn it.
- Thank you Carey.
- But also, Habs, please don’t leave Backstrom all by himself. Not a good idea. Not a good idea at all.
- There’s enough time for one goal. Come on boys.
- Hey, Victor, now would be a VERY good time for that first goal in a season.
- Ok, so like, there’s still plenty of time for one goal. But like...that time is RAPIDLY RUNNING OUT.
- SCREAMING
- Please stop. Please stop this.
- Oh Jeff. That was almost perfect.
- Almost.
- When they said keep an eye out on Cary Price, pretty sure that’s not what they meant.
- Ok someone in white. FRICKING SCORE.
- Oh god. They’re gonna score an empty netter and I’m gonna cry.
- Go away Larry, no one wants you here.*
- *We all know that’s a lie.
- I hate everything.
- This is the longest final 40 seconds ever.
- I am now officially the world’s biggest Rangers fan ever, and *gag* Senators fan.
- Habs lose 2-1.
