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.
- Contrary to popular belief, the H in CH stands for Price./
1st Period
- Can P.K. Subban log 30+ minutes with a virus?
- Every so often, Markov’s wizardry shines bright.
- Michel Therrien broke ribs in practice, but he never missed a game.
- You hear that Totorella?
- Speaking of Tortorella… Almost Bourque collides with Mitchell.
- 255 consecutive games played for Subban.
- Galchenyuk gets slashed… 5-on-3 coming up!
- GALLAGHER banks one off Johnson’s knee and in. Almost like he did it on purpose…
- Subban & Petry pick up the helpers.
- Eller PINGs one off the bar. He’s been dominant since moving back to center.
- Who’s puck is it!?
- Well that was ugly. Atkinson makes it a 1-1 game.
- Emelin sprawls to break up a 2-on-1.
- Not much else to report from that period.
- Korpisalo looks good for a 21-year-old in his first NHL season.
- So far.
2nd Period
- Condon flashes the glove, confidently.
- Fourth line is hungry tonight. They need to eat up some big minutes with this back-to-back.
- Condon just flew through the air like Superman to make a save.
- Atkinson just backhanded one in (possibly off Plekanec or Emelin). 2-1 Jackets.
- Who is Atkinson and what can Galchenyuk learn from him?
- Carr is done for the night. Just when the third line was looking strong.
- Pacioretty using stick instead of feet? Two for slashing.
- SUBBAN! Scores from center ice!
- What just happened? PK picks up a penalty immediately after the goal.
- He gave Dubinsky a shove, but not sure what he did to deserve it.
- Must be the flu.
- Habs need to get a lot of shots on net right now. Korpisalo is vulnerable.
- Therrien juggling his bottom nine with Carr out of the line up.
- Flynn gets a shift with DD & Chucky.
- Habs will start the third with a PP.
3rd Period
- Columbus fans booing Subban.
- Both teams seem to be playing for the tie with 16 minutes to play.
- Wake me up when it heads to a shootout…
- The only time Montreal seems to be able to pass their way into the offensive zone is with 67-14-11-79-76 on the ice.
- Saad picks up a delicious rebound to make it 3-2 Blue Jackets.
- What do the Habs have left in the tank?
- Pacioretty drove in on his own. No dice.
- Plekanec on the rebound? No dice.
- Looks like these guys are trying to develop some bad blood for tomorrow night’s game in Montreal.
- Habs need some last minute heroics here. But they don’t look like they want it.
- A shade over two minutes left.
- Therrien might pull Condon, but they can’t even sustain pressure 5-on-5.
- Empty-netter by Saad. 4-2
- Hats off to Atkinson. 5-2.
- Sadface.
