When will we as Canadiens fans just learn to trust in Andrei Markov? We thought he was going South on us and then… that pass! And then Pacioretty’s pass and then Alex Galchenyuk’s goal. It’s like we have elite offensive talent on this team or something.
And Carolina is lacking in the elite offensive talent department. Lots of unconverted power play chances and lots of squandered shots. It’s easy to see why this team is languishing in the basement.
For all these great Shugg jokes tonight, I’m not sure why there are not a million more Michal Jordan jokes.
Anyone catch the weird broadcasting aside about New Canaan Connecticut and the colour man’s dating history? Love regional broadcasts for weirdness like that.
