Canadiens vs Penguins Top Six Minutes: If you don’t kill penalties, penalties kill you
The Habs shorthanded woes led them to a loss in the Steel City
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.
Look. All I want is a good night from Mango Juus, a Gally goal, and an un-embarrassing game.
Dear Sir Singing the National Anthem, PICK A RHYTHM AND STICK WITH IT.
First Period
- Ooh, that was a pretty stellar opening shift.
- You guys, Sid is ridiculous. I mean, you're all aware already, but those replays from previous games are gross.
- Ooh snazzy save there, Nemo.
- NEMO! NOAH! AHHHH!!!
- JEFFFFF. I'LL TAKE PETRY GOALS TOO. Oh that was pretty too
- Uhg. Really, boys?
- Bad PK is bad. Bad PK is very, very bad.
- Dear lord, Habs. Why are you like this.
- Well, that PK was slightly less awful.
- I don't even, how even, what even. Why do the Hockey Gods hate us?
- I can't wait for this season to be over. I also can't wait to be able to cheer for the Penguins in the playoffs.
- Oooh that was almost super pretty from Byron and Gallagher.
- DO. NOT. TOUCH. JUUS.
- Now that's a nice goal./
Second Period
- Oh Carrsy, that was not ideal.
- That was a really, really good penalty kill!
- Nice glove save by...ALZNER?
- The sweet music of the post!
- Nice possession by the Habs, nice play by Galchenyuk to put the puck into the slot from behind the net!/
Third Period
- OH. MY. NEMO.
- Glad someone is giving Petry his due.
- They don't like this call, I don't like the idea of another penalty kill.
- NOOOO LEHK. UHG. That was going to be SO GOOD.
- I cannot believe that went in. Wait. Yes I can. uhhhhhhggggggg.
- sobbing
- Someone give Lehk a hug
- Someone give me a hug.
- I hate everything.
- If the Pens score one more goal, my prediction will be correct. I called 5-2...sorry Habs...
- PAULIE ALMOST.
- I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO BE RIGHT, GUYS.
- The amount of near misses so far is very frustrating.
- Well that wasn't fun.
- Habs lose 5-2.
- I don't like being right./
