The Montreal Canadiens scored 31 seconds into the first period, with Jakub Jerabek throwing a puck on net, and Zdeno Chara re-directing it past his own goalie. The following 19 minutes and 29 seconds were a car crash mixed with an explosion, inside a hurricane.
In short, it was an utter disaster.
David Pastrnak took advantage of Jeff Petry getting his stick stuck in the boards, and tied the game not long after the Habs opening goal. Then inept breakout strategies, badly timed passes, and no answer for a relentless forecheck forced the Habs into their own end for what felt like an eternity.
