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.
Pre-Game:
- I want Montreal to win, obviously, but I also have O’Reilly on my fantasy team so…jk – get ‘em Habbies
- Bit of a change-up to lines heading into this one – let’s see if it pays off/
1st Period
- Early penalty on Chiarot – hopefully not setting the tone for the rest of the game
- Lehkonen with some solid PK time and a few great short-handed chances – when was the last time I mentioned how much I adore Lehks? Get ready for another season of it, folks
- Habs heading to the PP and does anyone else still have 2018-19 night terrors or is it just me
- Tommy Tatar gets the Habs on the board!
- Habs have been dominating zone time so far this period and the Blues finally got their second shot on goal about 14 mins into the first. I am ok with all of this
- Blues tie it up
- Drouin having himself a hell of a start to this season and I. Am. Here. For. It. Habs up 2-1 heading into the second/

2nd Period
- Blues get a quick one to start the period and of course it’s by Blais because what’s a home game without an opposing French Canadian scoring on the Habs
- I believe in you, Victor Mete. You can do this.
- Never break Tatar-Danault-Gallagher up
- Frick. Blues score on the PP and take the lead 3-2
- Ahem, I reiterate: Never break Tatar-Danault-Gallagher up – TIE GAME
- Weber with a huge open ice hit
- Tied at three after 40/

EOTP 3 Stars
3) A great reintroduction
2) This is the player we all wanted to see
1) Much better singing to end the night than we had to open it
