Pre-Game:
- I can’t remember the last time I felt so nervous about a player trade happening mid game
- No Mike Cammalleri doesn’t count because I didn’t expect that
- Go Habs Go, please don’t play like crap/
First Period
- BOB COLE!
- A nice save from Niemi early on, good to see him rebound in Montreal so far this year.
- A 3 on 1! Andddd the shot falls to Jacob de la Rose
- You ever sort of forget that Chris Kunitz is a thing?
- The Froese that pays! Habs lead 1-0 on a great redirection by Byron Froese./
- Taking Steven Stamkos off the ice for five minutes and getting a power play out of it is the best play of Karl Alzner’s season.
- Ah Niemi, making a routine stop look like a scrambled mess, but so long as the puck stays out who cares right?
- I mean sure, why not, let’s have Brendan Gallagher fight a billion foot tall giant in Victor Hedman./
Second Period
- Shut up Don Cherry
- Charles Hudon is so ridiculously good at threading passes in the narrowest of gaps.
- Taking multiple penalties in a row isn’t advisable guys, just saying.
- See this is why we can’t have nice things Montreal.
- Hudon with an incredible set up, and Joe Morrows lets a rocket go and we are tied!
- Excellent moves by Mete to draw that penalty late in the period.
- CAPTAIN GOAL!!
- Mikhail Sergachev turning the puck over and Pacioretty almost scoring was too glorious, shame Max couldn’t bury his chance for peak Schadenfreude.
- And a third breakaway!
- No goals, but a great end to the period./
Third Period
- I see and hear all these Pacioretty rumors, and I choose to ignore them.
- Cedric Paquette is extremely tough on the ice when he isn’t worried about having his visor punched into orbit.
- Guys, we talked about this, less penalties right in a row.
- (Unintelligible screaming)
- WHAT DID WE TALK ABOUT EARLIER HABS.
- There’s so many penalties and breakaways I can’t be sure that Oprah isn’t running some sort of giveaway at this game.
- Holy hell Antti Niemi is playing out of his mind.
- The back and forth swings are fantastic, this might be one of the most fun games of the year for the Habs.
- I’ve been watching through my fingers for like, ten minutes now.
- Overtime!/
Overtime
- Don’t boo Max you jerks!
- (Yes he should have shot it)
- Why is Joe Morrow?
- Niemi with an incredible OT period too, absolutely lights out.
- What a save by Andrei Vasilevskiy to rob Hudon and get the win.
- That was fun, more of that please Habs!/
