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.
Pregame:
Mattias Norlinder scored his sixth goal of the season, I am watching that on repeat until this game starts…
Okay, the Blues sweater is quite nice.
1st Period
- Nice of Gallagher to make sure Price is awake.
- Kotkaniemi draws a penalty so it’s time to grab something to drink, because watching our power play is not fun.
- Wow, I must have jinxed the power play. If I only realised that five years ago. What a pretty goal!
- … and it’s 1-1 seconds after Montreal grabbed the lead.
- Big hit by Tatar, who goes off for two minutes.
- Price, with a big, big save!
- Oh Lehkonen…
- Suzuki with a steal, and the chance of the period for the Canadiens!/
2nd Period
- What HAPPENED???! A GALLAGHER GOAL!!!! Jake Allen with a huge mistake, and that’s the weirdest goal Gallagher has ever scored.
- Now let’s hold on for more than two seconds.
- Kneeing on the new motorbike… hope them wheels are okay.
- Cross ice passing, Kotkaniemi to Drouin and a 3-1 lead, and maybe, just maybe a working power play.
- Price saves another bad play in our own zone.
- Kotkaniemi has come to play, he probably thinks the blue and yellow is Sweden.
- Price doesn’t chase windmills, he makes them! Don Quixote would be so mad.
- The ENGINE with a goal! 4-1.
- Carey Price, enough said.
- Mr. Price saves from in close! What a save!
- That was the second period all Canadiens fans wanted. /
3rd Period
- Another power play to start the third period.
- Montreal is practicing power plays today, another one coming up…
- … probably the worst of the night, still better than last years power plays.
- Bit of a boring period.
- Now Allen saves when Drouin has an open (more or less) net.
- Carey Price with another big save to finish this game off!
- Garbage goal…. against.
- … and one for the good guys, into the open net by the captain. /
EOTP 3 Stars
3) A bold strategy
2) How are you just going to just murder a backup goalie like that, Jonathan?
1) I guess we know what The JD Man will be doing next Saturday afternoon
