Montreal Canadiens: Nothing Wrong With Alexei Emelin’s Hit

The Montreal Canadiens dominated the Colorado Avalanche Saturday night. The Habs came out flying in the first period, chased Calvin Pickard in less than ten minutes, and then chased Semyon Varlamov before the third period began.

It was one of those once-in-a-decade type of games where everything goes in. It was 4-0 before the ten minute mark, 6-0 late in the first, and 10-1 when the final horn mercifully sounded. Max Pacioretty had four goals and an assist, Tomas Plekanec chipped in four assists, even Brian Flynn scored a pair of goals.

While the Canadiens were filling up the score sheet with double digit goals, the Avalanche were only able to muster 16 shots in the entire game.
