Game report
With the Canadiens leading 4-0 after the first period, the broadcast commentator confidently announced that the Canadiens didn’t need any more goals on the night; They should play it safe for the last 40 minutes. Sitting back is always bad advice.
It was a wild late night on the West Coast. Many Habs fans who went to bed before the end of the game will no doubt be in for a surprise.
It was a game full of mistakes and turnovers from both teams as well as a healthy dose of skill and talent. The goaltending was not pretty on either end of the three netminders who appeared in this game.
And perhaps most importantly, Montreal lost the services of Sean Monahan. In the second period, the Canadiens announced that Monahan would not return to the game.
It was another sleeper start for the Canadiens with the Canucks outscoring the visitors 9-1. In the latter half of the first period, the Canadiens scored four times in under eight and a half minutes.
With the Habs on cruise control, Vancouver took over the game late in the second period. The Canucks scored twice before the end of the frame to get back into the game.
It was a Burmese third period with the two teams scoring a total of six times and deadlocked after 60 minutes. Elias Patterson scored 13 seconds into overtime, as Mike Matheson lost an edge and went down.
