Canadiens vs. Flyers Top Six Minutes: Opportunity lost
The Canadiens were the better team for much of the game, but couldn’t convert it into goals.
Pregame
- Nemi in goal, I thought he needed a month of rest after that 52-save game. /
First Period
- Open net, but the post saves the Canadiens.
- Charles Hudon is in the team and an almost wrap around seconds later.
- Some very good play from Canadiens early.
- Jeff Petry with the best chance for the home team so far.
- Big save by Carter Hart on Chaputs wrister!!!
- It is Hart vs the Habs, 10-1 Montreal in shots.
- Petry in the sweeper role, and gets the puck off Lindbom’s stick. /
Second Period
- Montreal starts the second period as they finished the first, with a lot of speed.
- 16-1 in shots, but the important stat says 0-0.
- Kotkaniemi to the sin bin.
- Good defensive play by Charles Hudon.
- Power Play Montreal. Sorry I meant PowerKill™️.
- Konecny with the opening goal, after another dread full power play from Montreal.
- On a delayed penalty Flyers makes it 2-0. /
Third Period
- Drouin to the box. Montreal started with two icings and now they are a man down. Not the start Montreal needed in the third.
- Fourth icing in less than four minutes.
- 3-0 Bad Guys.
- 3-1 Max Domi! Game on!
- Big Save from the Philly keeper.
- Nolan Patrick with his second of the night, and this time its good night Canadiens.
- Kulak with a consolation goal, 4 minutes to go.
- Nemi leaves his net with tons of time left...
- ... and its 5-2 Flyers. /
