Top Six Minutes

Canadiens vs. Capitals Top Six Minutes: Habs contain #8, but still surrender six

Despite a fast start, the Habs can’t outscore the high-flying Capitals.

Carey Price is in nets, while Lars Eller returns to remind me how much I miss him.

Noah Juulsen deserves better than Karl Alzner.
The Laval Rocket are looking better in this game than they did in the one they played this afternoon.
Remebering how well Scherbak is playing right now, is what will keep me hopeful over this lengthy off season.
Meanwhile, remembering that lovely unassisted Galchenyuk Goal, is what will keep me nervous and distrusfull of Bergevin over this lengthy off season.
Gallagher goal is called off as off side. A two goal lead againt the Caps was too much to ask for.
Carey Price has the turnover that leads to the the Capitals second Goal.
After a great start by Montreal, the Capitals are now dominating.
Tom Wilson now has two goals. Not much resistance from the Habs’ defence tonight./

Second Period

Beagle scored the Capitals fourth and Price is now looking a bit...frustrated.
Byron was just described as “not quite fast enough”, that is not something one hears often.
Montreal’s power plays probably make me more nervous than they do Washington.
Ovechkin is fun to watch.
HUDON! It’s 4-2 and there is hope going into the third. /

Third Period

Early power play goal for the Capitals. It’s Kuznetsov’s second goal of the night.
Former Hab Jacob Jarabec’s shot is tipped in. It’s that kind of night.
HUDON AGAIN!
Ovechkin intercepts a Gallagher pass and Capitals come close to making it 7-3.
With just under three minutes, and Ovechkin in the penalty box, Montreal is able to capitalize, as Drouin scores.
Galchenyuk had a great chance.
Price is pulled for the extra attacker, yet the score remains 6-4 for Washington./

Oh my word, backhand filth from Alex Galchenyuk pic.twitter.com/tYjmgRCsFs
