Canadiens @ Maple Leafs Game 3 Top Six Minutes: Outgunned once more

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

• We’re bringing in Clutch Caufield! Things are getting serious now.
• Series is 1-1. What we need is the teamwork and back-checking from Game 1.
• And playoff Price to keep showing up.
• And more Josh Anderson, please.

First period

• Oohhh...we’re starting with an Anderson, Danault, Lehkonon line. I’m already on board.
• Galchenyuk gets a double minor for high sticking Gallagher’s face. Guess the bromance is over.
• Caufield off the post! We just may see a Cole Goal tonight.
• And that was the only attempt we got on a four-minute power play. That was a bad power play even by Habs standards.
• Gally with the best shot he’s had all playoffs and it’s not quite high enough to get past Campbell. Next time don’t be so fancy. A plain ol’ Gally goal will do just fine.
• Lehky with a puck over the glass penalty. Oh, Lehky.
• Playoff Price just reached a whole new level with that in-air paddle save on Spezza!
• Lehky heads to the room after a collision between his head and Sandin’s shoulder at the blueline.
• Toffoli gets the lamest “unsportsmanlike conduct” I’ve ever seen. Not this again, refs.

Second period

• Ugh, Lehkonen’s done for the night. It was an accident so...
• Sandin will have to answer the “code” now, right? Fair’s fair.
• Price is making a save as Perry goes crashing into him. Luckily Price squeezed tight and didn’t cross the goal line. Still 0-0.
• But, not Perry heads to the room as Anderson serves a hi-stick penalty for Perry.
• I feel like this is about to really start going downhill.
• Nylander makes it a 1-0 game after his shot deflects off of Chiarot’s skate.
• The Habs haven’t even reached double digits for SOG and we’re halfway through the period.
• At least Perry’s back on the bench.
• Get. Out. Of. Your. Zone.
• Price is the only thing that’s keeping me from completely pulling my hair out in frustration right now.
• Suzuki gets us on the board to tie it up! Bless you, Nick. One tiny bald spot is not a big deal.
• Rielly takes the lead. *feels growing bald spot *
• Price with a flurry of saves on Matthews and Marner. Love it.
• A pileup ensues behind the net and, oh good, we’re treated to another nauseating Auston smile amidst all the bodies.
• Anderson, Chiarot and Brodie head to the box for roughing.

Third period

• Playoff Price continues to show up. Let’s hope the rest of his team does in this period.
• Well, I’m getting Playoff Price and 14 minutes of Anderson ice time so I think it’s time to add to my wishlist...
• More Habs goals and throw in a win just for fun.
• Why isn’t anybody shooting?!
• Gallagher with the best shot this period but couldn’t tie it up.
• It must be some kind of sneak attack plan by the Habs to finally up the energy this late in the game.
• Four minutes left. Let’s do this Caufield. Or anybody.
• I guess we can wait until tomorrow’s game.

EOTP 3 Stars

3) A dangerous player all night long

2) He gave them their chance
