TSM: Let’s never speak of this game again

Dec 6, 2022 - 6:16 AM

Pre-game thoughts

• There is no sane reason that this game needs to start at 10:30pm ET, it’s as offensive as the 11pm start during the covid season.
• At least my energy drink tastes like sour gummy bears, that’s a nice plus.
• I think we’re going to see another great game from Sean Monahan, and hopefully by proxy Juraj Slafkovsky.
• Also Jordan Harris goal?

First Period

• It took less than a minute for Craig Button to begin screaming.
• Samuel Montembeault looks to be in for a long night based on the start of this game folks.
• HOLY GOD MONTY.
• Hey they finally got a shot on goal!
• COLE CAUFIELD WILL NOT REGRESS TODAY!
• I cannot stand that hit from Luke Schenn on Slafkovsky, and I wish Arber Xhekaj would have picked his spot for after Schenn gets out of the box.
• Well, Joel Armia is playing I guess?
• Good lord is that Josh Anderson killing a penalty?
• That pass from Kaiden Guhle was obscene and I want to watch it on repeat forever.
• Also Nick Suzuki is good at hockey.
• The price for Sean Monahan keeps going up every single game, and I think that’s beautiful.
• What in the name of Maurice Richard is going on?!
• Jordan Harris is absolutely on one tonight, what a first period for the rookie!
• Ending the period with a big reverse hit by Guhle? Sure why not!

Second Period

• It’s been nearly a minute and the Habs haven’t scored, what gives?
• Some folks say Colin Delia is still spinning to this very day.
• Why is Luke Schenn so mad at all the Habs?
• I for one, would like to see a first NHL goal for Jonathan Kovacevic.
• Ooooo good to see the PowerHorse revving up in this one.
• HOLY FULL MONTY.
• If I were the Canucks I would simply retire after getting cooked for a whole minute in the OZ by Michael Pezzetta.
• OEL might wanna consider surgery now, considering Jake Evans stole his ankles.
• Well, they had to score one eventually.
• Okay guys, can we not do the “blowing a four goal lead” thing?
• That’s not how you want to see a team leave a period when they entered it with a four goal advantage.

Third Period

• Let’s try scoring a fifth goal here Habs!
• Let’s try getting a shot on goal here Habs!
• Oh, or not.
• Josh Anderson cannot buy a goal to say his life, my god.
• I guess you can shatter Christian Dvorak’s stick on a faceoff and it’s not a penalty.
• This isn’t fun anymore!
• Sort of feels like the fifth Canucks goal is inevitable.
• Jake, I love ya bud but you have to finish that chance.
• And then Montembeault for as good as he’s been all night blows it.
• With the way this game has gone I am very excited to see how the Habs play on a back to back in Seattle tomorrow.
• Dear god it’s 1am, why did I put myself through this?
• I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN CHRISTIAN DVORAK.
• WHAT IS GOING ON, HABS LEAD 6-5!
• The Habs, never doing things the easy way with a late penalty kill now.
• I am again asking for a goalie goal from the Habs please.
• ...
• Joel Edmundson, what are you doing?
• Sure, why not overtime!

Overtime

• Cole, please score quickly.
• Matheson falls/is tripped and the Canucks win it.
• I can’t tell if I’m happy it’s over or furious that the Habs blew this game to a legitimately terrible team in the Canucks.
• Onto Seattle I suppose.

EOTP 3 Stars

3) They were actually trying to score goals

2) He’s an important cog in this machine

1) A three-point game may have saved this marriage
