PENALTY SUMMARY

1ST PERIOD

13:08 CAR Justin Faulk Holding – 2 min against Max Pacioretty

With a 2-0 lead, Michel Therrien looks like he’s standing on a landmine. His face is completely still and unchanging, hands in his pockets. I wonder how stressed he is right now? Kind of impressive how confident he was in his last press conference compared to tonight.

The Canadiens played an okay period, but not a great one, and are up 2-0 as a result. This team is talented enough to play okay and win games. There are still some problems though, chief among them being the tendency to let teams walk into their zone however often they like.

But 2-0 so whatever. Hopefully they don’t blow it.
