First Period
- Oh good, Auston Matthews is taking the warm-up, I bet we won’t hear his name every other play *insert eye roll here*
- This is the 738th time the Canadiens have played the Leafs – gotta love it
- Not super stoked to see Victor Mete on the third pairing
- Ahem…not super stoked to see Jordie Benn on the top pairing
- Canadiens have seven shots on goal seven minutes into the first period and the Leafs have zero. I am ok with this
- So Charles Hudon is pretty great and we are lucky to have him
- Max Pacioretty playing big on the penalty kill which is great to see
- No score after 20/
Second Period
- Charlie Lindgren has been solid – it’s the little things like having the confidence to play the puck and keeping the play alive/momentum going
- As I say this, Ron Hainsey skates in, has way too much room, all the time in the world, and scores the first of the game. Zero coverage on that one – yikes
- Sigh. Just 37s later, Nazem Kadri scores
- At the end of the second period, SOG are 26-18 in favour of Montreal
- Pacioretty and Weber with 4 shots each/
Third Period
- Ok – I feel good about the third per…Connor Brown scores 25 seconds in. Karl Alzner leaves Brown alone in front of the net – why is Alzner still a ‘thing’
- I would never wish an injury on anyone, but seeing Kadri taken out by Pacioretty, Benn, and Shea Weber in a span of 30 seconds makes me heart sing
- Alzner once again caught completely out of position and James van Riemsdyk gets the game’s fourth
- 48 seconds later, an eerily similar goal as Benn skates back, solely focused on Mitchell Marner, who passes the puck over to Matthews. 5-0 Leafs
- Lindgren gets the mercy pull, Antti Niemi is in
- HOLY CRAP LORD BYRON JUST DROPPED THE GLOVES AND HE WON
- 6-0 Toronto as Matthews gets his second of the game
- Brendan Gallagher drops the gloves against Connor Carrick after Carrick gives him a tap on the hands. After being ejected, Gallagher heads down the tunnel, throwing his helmet, clearly frustrated
- Final score is 6-0 and Habs fans continue to ask the question, “How much more of this do we have to take?”/
Highlight of the night
