Canadiens vs. Canucks Top Six Minutes: Gallagher sends Habs into bye week on a positive note

First Period

• Are ticket sales so poor that we can’t afford Sara Diamond anymore?
• Carey Price’s pad saves are so damn nonchalant
• GOAL! By... Karl Alzner? ...unassisted? I’ll take it!
• This period is going by faster than Alex Galchenyuk’s career at centre
• Is Paul Byron the fastest man alive?
• End of the first SOG are 13-11 in favour of Montreal/

Second Period

• Galchenyuk? More like GOAL-chenyuk. Actually though, this is what I want to see. So much more of this
• Why do the Sedin twins have to haunt me like this. One of them scores, who cares which one, really
• Canucks seem to be firing things up now
• Man alive, Galchenyuk is on a mission tonight
• Artturi Lehkonen was just tripped and you bet I am taking names
• The Sedin twins bother me. I don’t really know why
• End of the second SOG are 28-19 in favour of Montreal/

I think we have some errors to improve on, but it’s a step in the right direction...too many guys are good one night and not so good the next night. - Brendan Gallagher

Third Period

• Alzner goes down and both Sedin brothers come over to check on him. I still don’t like them
• Alzner clearly in some distress on the bench and he heads to the room
• Michael Del Zotto ties the game
• That’s the second time tonight the Tomas Plekanec has bumped into Gallagher
• Alzner back on the bench
• Gallagher? More like GOAL-lagher. No. I won’t ever stop with this
• Max Pacioretty once again leading SOG with five so far
• Great rush by Phillip Danault who unfortunately drives Anders Nilsson into the net - all involved seem to be okay
• Nillson prepared to head to the bench, gets caught up and Byron caps off the night making it 4-2
• I lied. Pacioretty scores just 16 seconds later and the final score is 5-2. Please don’t trade him/

Highlight of the Night
