Pregame / First period
- No line changes because a team that wins 5-1 one day needs no changes when playing 24h later.
- #TankForFinns is still my idea for a successful season. The Finnish armed forces uses a Leopard 2A6 Tank, Montreal Canadiens are looking for a Laine or a Puljujärvi tank.
- 1-0 Carolina early on … enough said.
- Some “Go Habs Go!” chants from the crowd, as they try to cheer the Habs to victory
- Lindholm, Nordström, Rask, and Läck. Some decent Swedes on that Carolina team. Really young team in general future looks good.
Second Period
- PK wants Cam to win, thats okay in my book.
- Carolina’s power play is 28th in the league, and makes ours look bad with a flurry of chances.
- Patches scores out of nowhere!
- Lars Eller slides in and takes away a chance for the Hurricanes!
Third Period
- I am more interested if Islanders can get double digits vs Edmonton than this game right now.
- Price doesn’t look that great in the update video.
- This third period is boring, I feel no nerves at all.
- More chants. At least they are alive. The crowd that is.
- Carolina is smart! PowerKill Montreal.
- Scrivens makes yet more saves, and no one buries the rebound.
Overtime
- Desharnais out to start, but Habs don’t get scored on
- Some great rushes by Larry, perhaps the most dangerous of OT
- Subban so close to a great goal!/
Shootout
- Brian Flynn shootout alert!
- Max Pacioretty now 7-for-23 in shootout attempts
- Skinner falls to 6-for-29
- But Sven’s 2-for-2, and that’s good for the win
Highlights
EOTP 3 Stars
3 Some weird deployment threatened to make this another loss …
2 … and the fans were worried their time would have been wasted …
1… but Andrighetto scored in the fifth round and Scrivens stopped everything he faces in the shootout, garnering this rare reaction.
