A Bitter Bandwagoner Habs Fan’s TSM: Fast & Furious

After that Pens/Sens game, anything’s gotta be better, right?

First Period

• That’s the first time in a long time that I’ve seen a starting faceoff have to be redone!
• Oh no...let Gibby be ok, please...
• What a rush by Montour!
• GOOD LORD RYAN JOHANSEN./

• Boy is this game far, far, far more entertaining than the Pens game. All speed up and down the ice right now.
• Have I mentioned how much I’ve missed watching P.K. spin around the offensive zone? Because it’s a thing of beauty.
• Hey, Ducks, you might want to have more than one shot on net...
• Oh dear. Gibby.
• Dear Anaheim, PLEASE STOP TAKING PENALTIES.
• Oooh, that was a nifty little move by Kase! And it drew a power play!
• Not sure how much that’s going to help given how bad the power play is though...
• I TAKE IT BACK. THE VATMAN!!!!/

• Anaheim definitely building off of their play at the end of the first period.
• AAAAHHHH!!! POST!!!! Gibby should definitely be thanking that one.
• Agreed, Mr. Announcer Man, Kase has had a pretty great game so far.
• Oh man. Kes was so close there.
• The pace to this game is absolutely incredible.
• Oh lord.
• Anaheim, what was that./

• KASE. OH MY GOODNESS.
• What is goaltending in this game?
• This game is the polar opposite of last night’s.  Fast, furious, vastly entertaining.
• Wow. What. A. Shot. But also...oh dear...Pekka Rinne.../

Third Period

• Ahhh, the patent P.K. slapper. What a thing of beauty.
• Oh jeez, that was a nasty elbow from Kesler.
• I want to see Getzlaf live more than I want to see just about anyone but Crosby, and perhaps Ovechkin.
• Did you know that ice is slippery?
• Every time they mention Yannick Weber, I get very confused. Because my brain apparently still associates Shea Weber with Nashville, even after a full year.
• AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH. Wow. That was some insane shot blocking from Anaheim. Dear lord. What a mad scramble.
• Gibson has definitely been better as the game progressed. Though...given how bad things were earlier, that might not be saying a whole lot.
• Please stop icing the puck, Anaheim.
• AHHH NASHVILLE PULLS RINNE. WE’RE DOWN TO THE WIRE.
• EMPTY NET GOAL VERMETTE!
• ANAHEIM WINS 5-3!!
• Boy was that fun. The Ducks remain the kings of the comeback./
