Canadiens @ Flames Top Six Minutes: He's Back

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

• Apparently the Flames are undefeated while wearing their retro jerseys. They're wearing them tonight. I'm not concerned, you're concerned.
• I can never decide if Movember is the best month or the worst month...like, obviously the cause is a good one. I'm just undecided on the facial hair on a lot of these guys.
• Not gonna lie, these Flames jerseys look really good in action.
• What a nice rush from Tatar.
• TUNA TIME.
• There are a LOT of Habs fans in Calgary.
• Petry doesn't just have dishes, he has wings on his skates.
• Oh no...not the power play...
• Price is awake. Not sure if the rest of the power play is...
• The bad news is that that power play was lousy and the best look went to Calgary. The good news is that they didn't give up a shorty.
• Oh man Tatar to Gallagher was almost gorgeous./

Second Period

• Sean, you're supposed to put the puck in the net, not yourself. (But I'd much rather you put yourself in the net than put the puck in the net...)
• Xavier was that necessary?
• TKACHUK WAS THAT NECESSARY?
• Well. Carey looks good. I don't know about the rest of them right now...
• I have a bad feeling about this...
• 6-0 shots for Calgary in the second? Oh dear...
• Why do the hockey gods hate my sweet prince Artturi.
• Thank you Price.
• “Nic Deslauriers in a footrace” <—not a phrase one expects to hear.
• So um. Carey Price is bailing the team out in this period...
• This is fine. Everything is fine.
• Price is just making save after save and there's nothing going on in front of him.
• Aaaaaaand now Tkachuk scores again. Ew.
• Everything about this was awful, except for Carey./

Nic Deslauriers has more ice time than Jesperi Kotkaniemi tonight.

That is not ideal.

• OH MY GOD WHY./

Third Period

• Can I turn off the game and go to bed? No? What a shame.
• Well, this looks better!
• This looks less better...
• Screaming
• This is FINE. Everything is FINE.
• JODRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! (Also Juulsen hearteyes)
• CAREY.
• You can easily hear the “Go Habs Go” chant. So good.
• Well, that was a very pretty two-on-one. Shaw and Domi nearly made it 3-2.
• OH MY GOD PRINCE ARTTURI. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WENT IN.
• Geez. If ANYONE deserved that kind of a bounce, it was Lehk.
• Apparently all the good luck that Lehk was being denied was being saved up for that.
• Thank you Carey, once again.
• Shots are 44-22. This is Fine. Everything is fine.
• The empty net might be a better goalie than Mike Smith.
• One minute left.
• I'm gonna die.
• Keep praising Noah Juulsen. It is oxygen for me, which I need. Because I'm not gonna be able to breathe for the rest of this game.
• Shots are 45-22...
• Carey Price. Nuf said.
• Oh Lehk. He was INCHES from the ENG.
• OH MY GOD THE HABS WON. THEY ACTUALLY WON.
• It's like Price's return to rarefied heights caused the heavens to smile on the Habs.
• I'm very glad I didn't turn the game off and go to bed. Also Flames? No longer undefeated in the retro jerseys.
• 3-2 Montreal. /
