Average habs 2nd period
Can’t do anything right in PP…
And there’s the other side of Matheson.
We’ve got to be leading the league in short handed goals against
I get Caufield is a forward but what the f is that.
Matheson, you’re the only defenseman on the ice. Don’t take that shot.
The powerkill is back.
It’s a good thing Caufield doesn’t play defence
Still love you Primeau, you’ll get the next 20 bud.
Matheson playing alone for some reason.
yes slaf, just shoot it
Brutal lol
Gosh, our shooting absolutely sucks.
holy shit can ANYONE hit the net lmfao
Bro I’m sorry but I HATE our power play still. Even if it has gotten slightly statistically better.
We just look so bad and give up so many chances.
Fucking obviously.. 4th shorthanded.. 😂
Most Matheson play. Absolutely insane spin at the line with immense skill then that shot
Hit the fucking net
How hard is it to shoot the net man..
La chaine a débarqué
Savez-vous tirer caliss
I guess this is where they tie it
Tough start in the 2nd
Feels like we are coming out in the second with all of the intent to lose this game
Habs hockey
Stop missing the net please!
Typical habs 2nd period
That was a Habs level zone entry by Vegas
Marc Stone more like Marc Shit amirite?
Primeau looks like Roy a lot with all those glove saves
Get fucked, M. Microfracture.
Lol lol lol Microfacture
My captain > vegas captain
Stone doesnt accept to get beat lol
Stone is such a dipshit
#LIKE I JUST SAID, MARK STONE CAN FUCK OFF
