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.
First Period
- The Coyotes are having offensive struggles and Carey Price is undefeated against the Coyotes? We’re definitely going to lose 5-0.
- Sorry. I’ll try to be less pessimistic.
- WELL. It’s not hard to stop being pessimistic when Pacioretty scores less than a minute in!! 200 goals for Cap!
- Oh my goodness. Where is the Coyotes’ defence…
- I like this version of the Canadiens. Can we keep them please?
- THE GENERAL. What. A. Shot.
- The Habs look a lot better than they have in a while./
Second Period
- Some really nice zone time for the Habs here. Not sure if the Habs are playing well, or the Coyotes are playing badly, but either way.
- Have the Habs been out of the offensive zone at all in the first five minutes? (Yes. Yes they have, but it sure doesn’t feel that way)
- 12:43 to play, and Arizona doesn’t have a shot on goal in the period yet!
- Oh man. Almost Byron on the breakaway. Wow.
- No matter how harmless it is, anyone going into Price scares me, and always will. THANKS KREIDER.
- Oh no…Andrew…
- Oh no…Phillip…
- Oh no…Habs.
- Oh dear.
- *internal screaming*
- AAAnd just like that, it’s all tied up. This is so Habs.
- And then a shorty. Oh boy. And the Habs were doing so well…/
Third Period
- Everything is awful.
- EXCEPT FOR PATCH. 3-3 GAME!!
- Raaaadduuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!
- Why do the hockey gods hate us. I have no idea what anyone was doing on that play…Mostly Carey. I have no idea what Carey was doin g on that goal.
- Alexei Emelin is going to save us all.
- Oh Jeff…you gotta shoot there./
OT
- Patch wants that hatty. I want Patch to have that hatty.
- OH PAUL. THE POST TWICE IN ONE GAME. AHHH.
- I have missed watching Markov play hockey. What a shift from Pacioretty, Markov and Galchenyuk.
- CHUCKY’S BACK GUYS.
- Habs win 5-4 in OT thanks to Alex Galchenyuk!!!!
- Oh boy. That game should never have been that close. But I will take that win./
EOTP Three Stars
3. Right?
2. Definitely not his best night.
