Habs gooning up on Raymond and Larkin

Soderblom defends them

Fischer scores, they waive it off for Rasmussen being on top of Montembaut

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Savard drove Ras further onto the goalie but I think he did enough on his own to not make it worth challenging

McLellan is challenging, wow

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I don’t see this going their way

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Ras got his neck shoved into the crossbar

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Goaltender interference, Detroit gets a penalty

Not great timing being up two with ten to play

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Chiarot checks Dach off the puck and clears it, ending the PP

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Genuinely don’t know how Montembaut made that save on Compher

Edit: turns out he hit the post

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Hutson goes for interference on Veleno

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Montembaut pulled with 3:07 left

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Slaf high-sticks Chiarot and that’ll probably do it

[Grand Moff Larkin]

It’s even more satisfying when the Habs lose to your favorite team

[Grand Moff Larkin]

So Hutson was -2, no points, a big penalty with five left. He played a ton, but he got bodied by Larkin on the Berggren goal and shot into Edvinsson on the Copp SH goal.

The main thing I noticed is that the Wings’ new passive diamond really takes away his strengths on the PP. Before when the forwards were a lot more aggressive, he could beat guys up high with the dancing and the head fakes, but tonight he had the puck by the blueline and nobody was on him. Dancing around doesn’t really do anything for you there. He’s not a shooting threat the way Seider is.

Vasi doing Vasi stuff

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kucherov got too cute and blew an easy goal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Talbot made a ridiculous glove save on Kucherov earlier

Wings have more shots but the BLOT only get high quality chances

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kucherov came in uncovered, hit the post

Maybe cover him?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Talbot makes a save, whistle. Cernak comes in and does a heavy bump on someone in front, then gets his stick up at face level when they go after him. Call something!

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kasper goes for a hook on Kucherov

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Tampa 8/17 on the PP in the last three games
