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.
First Period
- Well…that’s one way to start…get scored on by one of the worst power plays in the league…
- Oh great. Someone hasn’t scored all year? They’re gonna score tonight. Book it.
- Oh look at that! A Montreal power play!
- Radulov, Galchenyuk, Byron, Pacioretty, Weber? I like.
- Only generated one shot though. That I don’t like so much.
- Shots are 12-5 for Detroit? Oh dear.
- Oh man, what a shift by Lehkonen.
- Markov might not have the wheels anymore…but boy there’s nothing wrong with the General’s passing./
Second Period
- What sweet, sweet dangles from Chucky.
- OOh hey. Steve Ott did a good.
- Well, the Canadiens seem to have woken up, which is good. Because this was shaping up to be the world’s most boring game.
- Klendening trying to goad Beau into retaliating, and getting nothing was lovely.
- A power play that LOOKS like a power play!! /
- But no goals. No goals for you.
- Oh no Nate.
- Thank you Jordie and Al.
- Much, much more respectable shot count after two periods. 22-21 for Montreal./
Third Period
- Hm. I see we’ve gone back to being boring.
- I keep hearing Ouellet and having to double take because it sounds so much like Caroline Ouellette.
- Oh now we’re going with the Gimli references for Jordie Benn.
- The Habs are 1/21 on the power play? Oy vey…
- How did no one score with all those broken and missing sticks???? *Pulls out hair*
- The Habs are never going to score again. (This game, at least.)
- Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout
- Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout
- Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout Shutout I mean what?
- Ew. Ottawa is back within two points. Come on Habs. Do the thing.
- Please don’t hurt the Dane.
- Abdelkader’s helmet has had some spectacular zone time!
- ÄRTAN.
- That shot. Lehkonen is just so good. And he’s just a baby!
- AND Beau got an assist!!/
OT
- Please do not hurt Al!!
- HOW DID MONTOYA GET OVER IN TIME.
- Uhhhhhhhg.
- Habs lose 2-1 in OT./
Highlight of the Game
Lehkonen’s 13th goal of the year comes off a great individual effort. Assist to Beaulieu on the play. pic.twitter.com/hZQrYpHR7X
