Canadiens vs. Kings Top Six Minutes: Without An Answer

A day after being called out by their General Manager, the Canadiens fall 4-0 to the Kings.

Cammallerri?!
Paul Byron is fast, but Jonathan Quick, is... quicker.
This game has some pace!
Brendan Gallagher takes four cross-checks to the back and is still smiling. Wonder how many it would take to break his smile, let alone his back.
Uhoh, Nikita Scherbak is limping to the dressing room.
Habs powerplay doesn’t amount to anything but it’s okay, they’re playing well so far and need to keep pressing.
It’s Andrew Shaw’s 400th game - he deserves a point, right?
Almost a very good period for the Habs. Almost. KEMPE!!!
Ah now...
The Kings smell blood...
2-0 Kings ... OR scoreless after one period minus one minute./

That’s how you respond - come out flying, and draw a penalty. Oh, and Nikita Scherback is.. back.
No powerplay goal, but a good start to making the two-goal comeback. And look - another powerplay!
Weber and Pacioretty are lining up shots like it’s happy hour, but none of them are beating Quick.
It’s probably frustrating for Charles Hudon to go this long without scoring a goal.
Jonathan Drouin rings the bell of St. Postington, the patron saint of all goalies, and clearly a fan of Jonathan Quick.
The Canadiens are driving the play and are back on Powerplay St. again.
And just like that, Jeff Petry takes his team on a left turn and onto four-on-four avenue (I can keep this going for the rest of this post...)
Now it’s 3-0 LA!... That hurts. Also Scherback has left the bench and I don’t think he’ll return.
They are truly doing everything they can to score. It’s just not happening.
Well, it’s back to the dressing room, where all the answers can be found./

Don’t forget, a three-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey.
But you know what’s even more dangerous? A four-goal lead. 4-0 Kings.
The Canadiens are still getting powerplays at least...
Another post for Drouin.
The crowd is booing Carey Price. My last glimmer of faith in humanity is lost in this moment.
The Canadiens will end up outshooting the Kings by a wide margin, but their low shooting percentage is not a normal statistical effect. It is a true anomaly caused by something also anomalous and untouchable. In other words: what in the heck?!
Jonathan Quick has stopped Max Pacioretty eight times tonight.
And that’s it. Hopefully this loss doesn’t lead to any over the top reactions... ... but feel free to vent here./
