Canadiens vs. Blue Jackets Top Six Minutes: A Light in Dark Places

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.

First Period

• Well, this could be mortif...GALLY GOALLLL!!! 25 goals this year!
• Aww and Petry gets an assist!!
• Brendan Gallagher is a treasure. Or, if you prefer Lord of the Rings quotes, he's a light in dark places when all other lights go out...Who knew Galadriel was relevant to ice hockey.
• Uhhhhg not the cannon.
• Oh god, unassisted and everything.
• Oh dear, Jeff. Jeff no, why this.
• This is going to be a loooonggg game if we're giving that kind of power play goal up to the worst PP in the league...
• Oh Desi. Oh  Habs. Why must you be so agonizingly heartbreaking?
• Internal screaming
• Gotta say, I'm so here for Gally and Chucky being on the same line.
• Bless Gally and his first goal of the game self./

Second Period

• How. Did. That. Not. Go. In. Hockey gods why do you hate us.
• HABS COULD YOU NOT.
• Don't mind me over here screaming into the void.
• One day the Habs will score another goal.
• Meanwhile, OVI.
• Oh great. Seth Jones is so going to get a hatty.
• Dear Bob, please stop.
• Also please stop icing the puck. You're all better than this.
• Oh Mango, so close. (In case you live under a rock, and still don't know why Nikita Scherbak is Mango, this is why.)
• CHARLIE.
• The Habs look totally hopeless in the face of CBJ's cycle. This is abysmal.
• OH MY GOODNESS DROU. That was lovely. What a pass from Paulie.
• Oh Carrsy./

Third Period

• Ok Habs, it's National Napping Day, I have a new bed, and all I want to do is sleep. Please don’t make this any more painful than it needs to be.
• Yes. Keep praising my son. (<— In case you didn't know, that's Noah Juulsen)
• Thank goodness this is almost over...
• Ah the bounces are cruel tonight.
• Oh my. No hatty for Jones tonight. Apparently he's hurt? That's no good. When did that even happen?
• Too much man.
• Seriously, how have NONE of these scrambles around the net produced a goal. That's just cruel.
• CHARLIE AGAIN.
• The Habs are playing their best period of the game, so naturally, CBJ scores again. Fricking cannon.
• Because the hockey gods hate us.
• And everything is awful.
• Not Rosie's best night. Or Jordie's for that matter.
• Someone put me out of my misery, please.
• At least we get Bob and Foligno hugs? I dunno guys.
• I'm going to bed.
• Habs lose 5-2./
