Canadiens vs. Penguins Top Six Minutes: The Story of Tonight

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.

You guys...I don’t know what I want. I want them to win...but I also don’t want them to win...but I really want Carey Price to get his cup...

First Period

• Suzuki is on the first line against Crosby and it makes me so proud.
• Lol Hornqvist is mad.
• Dear sweet lord. I was SURE the Penguins were gonna score.
• Pittsburgh is all over the Habs. This isn’t gonna end well.
• Please spend more time in the offensive zone, Habs. Or should I say, productive time in the offensive zone.
• I’m torn about this power play.
• Well...that wasn’t great.
• Hornqvist is gonna fight Chiarot at some point.
• Well. The best thing we can say about that period is they got out of it tied at zero.
• And Carey Price is awake.

Second Period

• Well, that was good, and then sloppy. And then good again.
• HOW did they not capitalize on that. sigh
• That was a nightmare. Good on Petry for making Guentzel think too long.
• Some nice stick work from the Habs there.
• Oh Joel. Why.
• Good boy, Lehky.
• SUUUUUZ!! I’m so proud. What a great PK shift.
• That was actually a good penalty kill all the way around.
• GET. OFF. CAREY.
• Chaos.
• Everything is happening. Can we decline the power play? Ok this is weird, but I have a good feeling about this power play...
• I guess, by Habs definition, the fact that the PP wasn’t a disaster is a good thing?
• I’m both underwhelmed by Pittsburgh, and also still super scared of Pittsburgh.

Third Period

• Petry wouldn’t have missed from there.
• GALLY UHGGG... GIVE ME A GALLY GOAL.
• Hornqvist is gonna fight someone. It’s gonna happen.
• And by someone I absolutely mean Chiarot.
• So, that’s absolutely a penalty. But...you’re gonna call that, and not the others?
• IF THAT FIRST ONE WAS A PENALTY, HOW WAS THAT NOT A PENALTY.
• (Although, not like Montreal wants a power play anyway...)
• The problem with playing Pittsburgh is that you’re never safe until the game is OVER.
• They can always pull a goal or three out of nowhere when you least expect it.
• PRINCE ARTTURIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. This is definitely an acceptable substitute for a Gally goal.
• Can you imagine. The Penguins didn’t want to face the Habs in the qualifier because of Carey Price, and they get eliminated in a 1-0 game.
• EEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY the Captain with the ENG.
• I’m literally just laughing in disbelief here.
• I am so shocked. What even is this.
• Turns out the Penguins were 100% right to be afraid of Carey Price.
