Canadiens vs Rangers Top Six Minutes: Rangers never stood a chance

After being eliminated by the Habs, the Tampa Bay Lightning responded with a 7-1 drubbing of Les Glorieux last week.
Can the Canadiens mirror the response against the Rangers?
Carey Price *says* he doesn’t hold any grudges, but let’s wait and see if he gives Kreider any how-do-you-dos tonight.
Canada united through hockey to mourn the loss of Nathan Cirillo and Patrice Vincent tonight. [Watch]
It’s a moment, as a Canadian, I will not forget.

Let’s be honest here. It wasn’t until about five minutes into the game that I was able to shake off the chills. The pregame ceremony and national anthems in Ottawa were something else.
Carey Price leaves his net to play the puck… directly on a Rangers’ stick. Recovered nicely with a pokecheck to correct his error.
Alex Galchenyuk with a covert slew-foot on Rangers Captain Ryan McDonagh.
Plekanec is due for a goal about now, eh? Edit: Yep.
To no one’s surprise, Chris Kreider booed vehemently by the Bell Centre crowd each time he has the puck.
Subban trips over Emelin and takes Brassard’s stick to the throat area on the way down.
Both defensemen allowed to change on an icing as they were conveniently shaken up. Both on the ice for their next shift, no worse for wear.
HOLY COW, MAN. How are Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty allowed to go on a 2-and-0 while shorthanded? How!? [GIF]
Plekanec with his first shorthanded goal of the season. Notice how I said first.
It should be mentioned that Patches and Plek passed the puck back and forth so many they almost ruined it.
Oh hey, Habs scored first!
Dominic Moore distracts Price as he gets shoved into the net. Hagelin scores shortly after. Tie game.
Carey Price uses his face to save a sure goal by Zuccarello.
Let’s see what Don Cherry has to say about the events in Ottawa and St. Jean this week…

You never know what you’re going to get from the Pacioretty – Desharnais – Gallagher line. One shift they’re heavily outplayed, the next they look like they’ll score five.
Markov can stretch a pass like the best of them.
P.A. Parenteau is smart. When Subban and Galchenyuk are working their magic he sits back and waits for his opportunity to clean up.
Bourque slashes like a lumberjack trying to cut down the tree of life. Somehow evades a penalty.
Prust and Klein get five for fighting. Was I the only one that thought Prust looked like he was in pain before the first punch was thrown? [Watch]
Not going to lie, Klein looks so much like Kreider I was a bit too enthusiastic to see that fight start.
Montreal native Anthony Duclair picks up his fifth assist of the season on Hagelin’s goal. Names Saku Koivu as his favorite player growing up. He’s not alone.
Joke of the night: Dale Weise tries a cross-crease pass to Rene Bourque. Just shoot. Please.
Markov and Parenteau almost give the Habs the lead, but the puck bobbles on top of the net and stays out.
Carey’s crease is covered in mustard.
LARS! ’bout time.

Breaking news: Travis Moen just won a foot race.

Martin St. Louis is playing center? in the third period. New York really reaching for offense.
Habs taking a lot of icings right now. They need to regain momentum and press for another goal. One might not cut it.
Tanner Glass just thumped Gallagher in open ice. It’s rare, but the hit was enough to send Gally to the dressing room.
Pacioretty crouched all alone in the slot in front of King Henrik. Weise with the backhand assist from behind the net.
3-1 game gives Price some breathing room.
Replay shows Gallagher’s own stick whipping him across the chin. Annnnd he’s back on the bench. Anyone surprised? Anyone? Bueller?

Icing is this game’s offside.
Rangers pull the goalie but nothing comes of it.
Carey Price was everything we expect him to be. Makes you wonder what could have been had he not be injured in Round 3.
