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.
Pre-game
- Cole Caufield is making his NHL debut tonight, baby!
- We’re saved! (no pressure, Cole)
First period
- Caufield makes his debut in the top six alongside Tatar and Danault. Not too shabby.
- Mike Johnson can’t even control his giddyness about Caufield in the lineup. Yes, we all heard that giggle when Caufield took that shot on net.
- This is the most excited I’ve been watching a Habs game in a week. Ok, two weeks. Maybe three.
- Off we go to the power play. With Caufield. Again, no pressure.
- Ohh....now it’s getting interesting. We’re five-on-three.
- The captain opens it up with a vintage bomb!
- Perry gives Calgary a chance to tie it up on their own power play after a high-sticking call.
- And they take him up on it.
- Good Merrill not letting up and preventing Calgary from taking the lead.
- An almost-Caufield goal.
Second period
- Hey, Allen. How about a little less rebound action? That’s gonna bite you in the butt soon.
- I’m not sure I get the constant icing plan the Habs are going with, but there must be a method to their madness.
- The excitement from the first period has morphed into yawning.
- I’ve become a fan of Josh Anderson. Can we keep him?
- Kotkaniemi wide open and nadda.
- We haven’t even hit double digits with SOG yet and there’s two minutes left. *yawn
- Toffoli breaks the tie!!
Third period
- After two periods, Caufield has logged 11:31 minutes. Third in forwards (after Anderson and Perry).
- This Evans kid is looking pretty promising.
- I’m perfectly fine with no more goals and ending this with 2-1. I’m not greedy.
- Check out Petry jumping in on the play and forcing a penalty.
- Mangiapane with one off the post. Pass me the paper bag.
- Toffoli takes a tripping penalty. Where’s that bag?!
- Eight minutes left. Seriously, just hang in there. For the love of Pete.
- I vote no pulling of goaltenders tonight. Everyone just stay put.
- So, my vote doesn’t count then.
- We won! We won! Whew.
