Since allowing a stinker on the Senators‘ very first shot attempt of the game, Carey Price has been his usual brilliant self, which is a good thing because despite being a horrible team that played last night, the Senators have had the edge in play on the Canadiens since the seven minute mark of the first period.
As always, the Habs’ tactics are horrendous and make for bad hockey, but luckily the Sens are also horrible so that beautiful top line of Galchenyuk, Pacioretty, and Gallagher struck once again to give Montreal the lead.
