Canadiens @ Stars Top Six Minutes: An Airing of Grievances

Pre-Game Thoughts

• Good Lord it’s cold in WNY, I hope you’re all staying safe and warm this holiday weekend.
• I also presently had to commandeer a TV at my future in-laws so I could also bring you all highlights tonight as well.
• It’s fine though because I brought a bottle of Blanton’s for the holiday so we’re even.
• I just saw the lines and I think for Christmas we need to get Martin St-Louis an Occam’s Razor. /

First Period

• Well, Jake Allen is already in top form, not sure if that’s good or bad though.
• Oh no, Cole Caufield drew a penalty.
• All I want for Christmas is Kaiden Guhle on PP1.
• WHAT A GOAL BY JAKE EVANS
• And a power play assist for Michael Pezzetta, heckin’ right boys!
• Riley Tufte repeatedly trying Arber Xhekaj is a bold choice.
• Dallas’ reverse retro jerseys are boring as heck man.
• Okay, so they scored a power play goal, can they kill a penalty too?
• If Michael Pezzetta scored a shorthanded goal I think we should have just stopped teh game there and called it a night.
• Hey they killed it off!
• Oh my word Jake Allen is an adventure so far tonight.
• I’ll take that first period, pretty good effort on the road. /

Second Period

• Well, so far so good?
• Mainly in that they haven’t been scored on yet.
• PEZ DISPENSING A SECOND PERIOD GOAL!
• The cowboy hat gave him special powers I’m pretty sure.
• This game so far has turned out to be way more fun than the Stars jersey can’t lie.
• Kirby Dach is developing into such a smooth operator, the Draft day trade continues to look better and better.
• Jason Robertson is an absolute menace, and I mean that as a compliment.
• Also I have been a very good blogger this year, and would like to ask Santa for a Slafkovsky goal next.
• Well, that’s a poorly timed penalty from Jonathan Drouin.
• That’s a poorly timed power play goal against if you’re the Habs.
• I thought that penalty was on Joel Edmundson, am pleased it’s not.
• Then I realized the Habs are now on the power play and wish it wasn’t called at all.
• “No shots on that power play” might as well be the motto of the Habs this year.
• Well at least they ended the period with the lead, a minor miracle!/

Third Period

• Don’t look at Nick Suzuki’s metrics tonight unless you want to sob.
• Well, that’s probably not how the Habs envisioned this period starting.
• It’s now definitely not how they wanted to start this period.
• Before Matt Murray started kicking his net off that penalty is never getting called.
• TJ Luxmore wanted to be part of the show I guess.
• Habs kill the penalty, can they get a shot on goal next?
• Oh god they’re singing country music now in Dallas.
• Great shift from Christian Dvorak!
• Oh, I looked at NaturalStatTrick and it’s real bad folks.
• Cole Caufield’s a sneaky guy with the stick lifts eh?
• FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GUYS STOP TAKING PENALTIES
• That’s about right, 3 power play goals against.
• Jake Allen again doing his best to thwart Team Tank’s plans with that save on Hintz
• Yeah, Josh Anderson wiping out like that is a perfect night cap to this game lol.
• Welp.
• Have a safe and merry Holiday weekend everyone, be sure to leave a scotch and chicken fingers out for Santa.
• Or me, I don’t mind/

EOTP 3 Stars

3) Talk about a throwback

2) So there’s a first line (when it plays together) and now a fourth. Two more to go.

1) Enjoy your holidays, everyone!
