Canadiens vs. Panthers Top Six Minutes: The no good, very bad, very dumb edition

Pre-Game Thoughts

• Yes, it’s once again a Reverse Retro game night.
• HOWEVER, that’s good because it means Montreal might lose and further secure a better lottery position.
• Or, because the team is playing the Panthers, it means the game will go to overtime and everyone ends up upset.
• I have a feeling that Jesse Ylönen is going to end up on the scoresheet tonight, in a positive way that is.
• Just keep it respectable lads./

First Period

• That was nearly an incredible goal by Josh Anderson.
• That WAS an incredible set of saves from Samuel Montembeault!
• And a power play! Not a bad start Habbies!
• Uh, where ya goin’ Bobrovsky?
• OH SO CLOSE COLE.
• Didn’t expect Jordan Harris to be the Habs defender laying the body tonight!
• So many posts so far.
• Well, penalty kill time.
• HOW WAS THAT NOT A PENALTY.
• Gonna need Alex Lyon to just stop, doing all the good things he’s doing right now.
• The Panthers taking a penalty out of all of that is stunning.
• Did I just see Josh Anderson line up at centre on the power play?
• Okay so that Matheson hit is probably a penalty, but don’t worry Joel Edmundson has him covered.
• Well, that was certainly a period of hockey that was played./

Second Period

• Oh no, there’s a possible EBUG chance tonight and I just know the Habs would lose that game.
• Well, that’s two good PKs from the Habs, I’ll take that always.
• My god that was a monster hit by Radko Gudas, I can’t even be mad at that.
• Well, guys just because the penalty kill has worked tonight doesn’t mean you should keep trying it.
• Love to see that effort from Rafaël Harvey-Pinard while shorthanded!
• HOLY MONTEMBEAULT.
• Well, that felt inevitable.
• Oooo goalie interference review time!
• Get the hell out of here with this crap man.
• And it’s now 2-0, but remember the refs are out to get Paul Maurice.
• For the love of god score on this power play you band of merry idiots.
• Alex Lyon, just...stop please.
• Are these refs actually serious?
• ...
• Just pay the fine Marty.
• Oh for [REDACTED] sake, at least have a spine Habs.
• Oh so now the Panthers want to try and fight Matheson now that they can basically do whatever they want.
• STAY OUT OF THE BOX YOU IDIOTS.
• Or don’t good work fellas.
• Well, the third period is going to be very VERY stupid./

Third Period

• Oh godspeed Cayden Primeau.
• Xhekaj getting a ten minute misconduct is the first call I agree with tonight from the refs.
• REM!
• At least the Habs aren’t getting shutout tonight!
• Well, everything is dumb now.
• Very, very dumb.
• Absolutely no idea how that is only a two minute penalty on Sam Bennett for that knee on Jordan Harris.
• ATTA BOY JOSH!
• Well, the joy was short-lived I guess.
• Arber Xhekaj has been released from the box, prepare for chaos.
• Givani Smith, that was unwise.
• Dudes are just throwing dangerous hits all over, please protect Nick and Cole.
• Whew.
• That’s a heck of a tilt from Pezzetta and Lomberg.
• Of course they hit Pez with an instigator for that fight.
• Okay, but for real let’s just get this game over with now.
• Well, sure why not Gudas with one last attempted cheap shot.
• Well, at least it’s over./
