Having healthcare workers announce the players onto the ice is a great touch
O Canada compilation finished off by the one and only Ginette Reno – goosebumps
Welcome home, boys
First Period
It’s a few minutes in and the Habs haven’t received a penalty yet…maybe we are turning over a new leaf?
Chiarot vs Tkachuk might be super fun tonight
It still feels dirty to say ‘Montreal Canadien Corey Perry,’ but here we are
Do ya’ll still hate Lucic as much as when he was with Boston or is that just me
PP GOAL and number three on the year for Brendan Ballagher – beautiful pass by Perry
Lindholm wide open and Price manages to get a stick on it
Shea Weber with a bomb of a shot on the PP and its redirected in front by Valimaki – Habs up 2-0
Ending the first with two pp goals…is this real life?
Second Period
Romanov throwing the body around makes me happy
Suzuki alone in front but can’t get it by Rittich
2 on 1 and Kotkaniemi takes the shot, save made by Rittich but Anderson bats in the rebound for his first as a Hab on Bell Centre ice
Jeff Petry appreciation post
Kotkaniemi sets up Romanov with a gorgeous pass but he can’t bury it
Tyler Toffoli short handed goal! Give us all of the penalties
Habs up 4-0 heading into the third period
Third Period
Romanov gets a delay of game penalty for skating w/out a helmet – clearly confused about that rule lol
Tkachuk goes after Chiarot and Benny just drops him. You love to see it
Relatively tight period and the Flames have kept Montreal to only 2 SOG
Who said shutout.
Julien challenges the goal. With just over a minute left in the game. Up by 3…good goal and Habs head to the PK
Flames score
Price a bit slow to get up – hoping that’s just out of frustration
Habs win their first at home this year 4-2!
Highlight of the Night EOTP 3 Stars
3. I think he’s got that locked up
2. Pretty good conversion rate
1. Two minutes for looking so good
