The pass from Demidov on the second goal was crazy, he is not even looking at Slaf, this gives a fraction of a second less to the goalie to react
The Great white hope has arrived folks! 💙🤍❤️ Gohabsgo
5:11 ref sounded like he said the F word 😂
Did anybody see in the top left, just after Montreal won it in overtime, it said they lead the series 3-0 for a second
Texier tried to be fancy at the beginning of the 3rd period… An extremely wrong move. He had the net to himself !!! Too bad !
I really don’t understand the lightning power play defense standing in the CENTER and allow opponents to pepper their goal!
Why so many penalties again for the Canadiens ? WHY ?
I swear the Canadians play the most boring brand of hockey, 4 guys always in the defensive zone just looking to rush out. The Lightning controlled the puck in their zone for like 70% of the game but I guess the NHL rewards boring hockey nowadays. Non stop diving, flopping and holding, I have never seen an NHL team this soft, I felt like I was watching soccer more than hockey. Total B.S. I mean majority of the highlights are just the Canadians on the power play. I wouldn't disagree with most of the calls but I felt the lightning should've had more power plays. If they didn't have too many men on the ice in the first period how many shots on goal would the Canadians have? Like 1 or 2 for the period. 3 goals on the PP and more than half their shots came on the PP. All they try to do is frustrate you and dive, dive, dive… hoping to generate calls.
So good to beat tampa. Cant wait for more
blow me tampa….pay the refs some more because you didn't get enough power plays….how the fk you gonna win 5 on 5 with that 💩 for brains horseraddish
Takto sa to robí do psej matere 😂 stále si to pozerám dokola a stále som z toho v picl
Your seeing a rise in the young teams right now.
Canadians, Sabres,flyers.
Come on Habs!
Sounds like a home game for the legendary Montreal Canadiens, !! GO HABS GO !!
Forgot to include the Martin St-Louis voodoo timeout
8:21 have no clue what texier was trying to do here. wide open net after a beautiful set up.
These ads are outrageous
Montreal's new Jean Beliveau! Been saying it for two years that Slafkovsky is the second coming. Big game big goals from the kid just like Beliveau delivered.
The revenge is on!!!!!!!!!
florida sports fans are so cringe
That feel when most Tampa Bay fans chanting 'USA USA USA' don't even realize that their best players are not even American. 😂
How can Tampa commit so many stupid penalties when Vasy was stopping every shot he could see? The defense really cuffed* his effort in this one. Slafkovsky has already proven he can beat us in the regular season. Where is the lockdown on this guy?
HABS IN 4
