For our new readers and members, the Top Six Minutes is a continuation of the discussion in the game thread. We try to keep it light and entertaining. Full recaps are up the morning after every game.

Pre-Game Thoughts

As always, Montreal does it right with a pre-game nod to Shea Weber for playing 1000 games in the NHL
Reverse retro night and the boys are looking SHARP

First Period

Nice start to the game with Tatar getting a few looks
Still weird to see Chucky in that uniform
Ten minutes into the first and the Habs haven’t scored yet. I’m worried.
Top line going to work and Gallagher is able to bang one home – Habs up 1-0
Carey weirdly seems to be having some trouble playing the puck tonight
Josh Anderson: good at hockey
Ottawa scores.
Ottawa scores again, this time on the PP
Sens up 2-1 after the first

Second Period

Tommy Tatar Tots having himself a game
Sens score. Burn these jerseys and never wear them again.
Murray actually looking solid tonight for the first time this season which absolutely figures
Romanov laying the body on Chabot and a scuffle ensues, Habs to the PP
Anderson takes a hit and is slow to get to the bench. Holding my breath
Perry takes a puck to the wrist and heads to the room
Sens up 3-1 after two, Let’s just forget that period ever happened

Third Period

Anderson not on the bench to start the third
Drouin heads down the tunnel now. FML. What is happening!?
Sloppy, sloppy play
Perry tries to strike something up by taking on Gudbranson. Perry a little worse for wear and heads to the room to get cleaned up
Benny goes for four minutes for a high stick
JOSH ANDERSON SHORT HANDED
Tatar gets called for boarding and that’s it for the night
Final score: 3-2 Sens
