For our new readers and members, the Top Six Minutes is a continuation of the discussion in the game thread. We try to keep it light and entertaining. Full recaps are up the morning after every game.
Pregame
- Galchenyuk on the wing, because of course…
- … I am already out of ice cream, because I needed calming down after the previous news. /
First Period
- And we are off!
- Big blast from Emelin, has he taken lessons from Weber?
- Andrighetti…? 😂😂😂
- The McDavid’s seems to be difficult to handle for the first pairing of Emelin and Weber.
- McDavid is getting the Subban booing treatment, but we all want him in a Montreal jersey when he becomes a free agent.
- Radulov is going beast mode 👀
- De La Rose!!!! – and of course he misses the net. By a country mile.
- Montoya with a huge save!/
Second Period
- Okay, time to make this game interesting, for every minute without a goal – take a shot of alcohol!
- Video review…. No Goal!
- And even the video review has a sponsor, you can never complain about European advertisement again. P.S. McDavid is sponsored by the company that sponsors the Oilers powerplays. Coincidence? No. No it is not.
- Four-on-One, still no goal for Edmonton, because you know, the General is back.
- McDavid draws his third penalty of the game… Emelin to the sin-bin, bit of a dive the blade was the wrong way to hook someone.
- Pleks gets a call, and we have a PowerKill™️… (actually it wasn’t that bad). /
Third Period
- L’Arttiste🎨 centers it for Plekanec who misses the net… it’s meant to finish 0-0.
- This game will be available to buy on dvd for new parents as kids will fall asleep with-in minutes of it being played.
- No one saw that coming right – Shaw to the box…!
- Good steal by JDLR, the General and Pleks almost scores.
- Close but no cigar for the boy that should not be named. /
Over Time / Shootout
- L’Arttiste🎨 sets up Weber and almost nets with a deflection form infront of the net.
- MONTOYA WITH A SUPER SAVE!
- Draisait opens the scoring.
- And Montreal can’t hit a barn wall from the inside, all misses in the shoot out. They lose 1-0, and put forward yet another weak effort./
EOTP 3 Stars
3. R.I.P. your liver.
