Canadiens vs. Oilers Top Six Minutes: The West won

First Period

• These Hockey Night in Canada openers just keep getting worse and worse - let’s just get to the hockey please
• Do the Habs ever get tired of setting up Shea Weber with a slapper on the PP? No. The answer is no.
• I really like Daniel Carr
• Charles Hudon loses the puck to Darnell Nurse but then immediately poke checks it away from Milan Lucic in a diving play. Can we clone him.
• Michael Cammlleri scores his first in 37 game and of course it’s against us
• Jesse Puljujarvi scores
• BUT WAIT. The puck didn’t actually go in and for once the refs make the right call during a review
• Carey Price plays the puck - poorly - and Dylan Strome knocks it down and over to Jujhar Khaira who scores. 2-0 at the end of the first./

Second Period

• Khaira with his second of the night, 3-0 Oilers
• Montreal looks like theyre standing still
• And now the Oilers get a power play. At least it’s terrib...Lucic scores.
• Price pulled and Antti Niemi is in
• Best line of the night so far = fourth line. Yikes.
• Andrew Shaw fighting – I am not surprised in the least. Is that really the best way to ‘motivate’ your bench
• Remember last Saturday when we were winning like 6-0 at this point
• Ladies and gents, Alex Galchenyuk! Can all the haters please back off now or what
• Does anyone else struggle with Game Centre buffering every 30 seconds
• Mercy, what a save by Niemi
• End of the second, 4-1/

Third Period

• Brendan Gallagher takes a bad penalty and yes, now it’s 5-1
• Maybe if I have as many shots of whiskey as Edmonton has goals, I will feel better about this game
• 6-1
• Max Pacioretty is the most underrated and most shit-on player in the league. It is infuriating.
• Phillip Danault scores his sixth of the season on the power play
• Fans boo as time runs out
• Overall, a pretty embarrassing performance. Onto the next one/

Highlight of the night

Great pass by Jeff Petry and the "struggling" Alex Galchenyuk tips home his seventh goal of the year. pic.twitter.com/77gTihi2VD
