Börje Salming passed away yesterday and if you haven’t seen the patch honoring “King Börje” on the Leafs jerseys, please do. A fantastic tribute.
1st period
- We’re leaving!!!
- Somehow Edmondson is in front of the net and Monahan picks up Edmondson’s stick and we have a GOAL for Montreal!
- Nice steal and move by Monahan, who set up Anderson, but no puck in the net.
- Montreal used gaps in the neutral zone to create a good offense.
- Matheson to the sin bin, time to play box.
- Some strong defense from Montreal here.
2nd period
- Crazy rescue of Montembo!
- Tied game, Montreal can’t get the puck out of the zone. Twice the pass outside the area was intercepted, the second time leading to a goal.
- Strong play goal!!! Captain Suzuki! 2-1 Montreal!
- Joel Armia hits the post. So close yet so far.
- Dadonov to the box, upcoming box-play for Montreal.
- Big fight toward the end of those two minutes, Anderson finally gets the puck out for a lane change.
- Gallagher with a break, great pass by Dadonov. The ambush call must have come from Qatar and the VAR room was damn late.
- Xhekaj to the box.
- SAVE! MONTEMBO!
- … and Monaghan hit the post on the breakaway.
3rd period
- Soderblom with a great save on Caufield’s shot.
- Slafkovský down… Pezzetta goes after the Chicago player before the referee even considers calling the game.
- Slafkowski gets up, but a little cautiously. He looks shaken.
- Panic behind the Chicago bench when they realize Jekai is on the ice.
- It wasn’t a free kick, so Suzuki missed the breakaway.
- Now that’s a soft call. Bullet to the box…
- … and, of course, the opponents score, not the refs, but the Blackhawks.
Overtime/Shoot Out
- Too many men in OT! Chicago had five guys on the ice.
- Power Kill™️
- This power play was too slow, he had to take the goalkeeper and play 5v3.
- Suzuki with Datsyuk’s move…
- … but Kirby Dach wins it for Montreal!
