Canadiens vs Lightning third period thread

Welcome! If you’re just tuning in, here’s what you missed:

-Stamkos went off in the early goings of the 2nd period, he got a hooking penalty, but actually probably deserved a penalty for punching Emelin in the face instead.

-The Refs made a rough call on a Palat goal that really shouldn’t have been a goal at all because Palat gloved it in.

-That didn’t matter because Gallagher scored and the Habs annihilated that sense of foreboding we’ve all been dreading where the Habs look great and then let the other team sneak back into the game. It hasn’t really happened yet.

-Rene Bourque continued to look unstoppable.

-Anders Lindback continued to not stop anything.

-Anders Lindback got pulled and lots of jokes about his name ensued.

-Kristers Gudļevskis came in and lots of jokes about his named ensued.

-Tampa had more turnovers than a bakery.

-Only two Habs, Bouillon and Markov, don’t have a point in this series.

-9 different Habs have scored, but none of them are named Max Pacioretty.

-Price was ok (I kid, I kid).

-Oh and Emelin totally dove.
