Oh live thread!

I like Minni home colors.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I love how even the PWHL games start 15 minutes after the advertised start time.

Stupid sport.

It was the home opener, they actually kept it short.

You just know it's going to last 30 minutes when it's Montréal turn....

As long as I don't see a torch.

Montréal defense is doing a good job so far, playing better than against Ottawa.

Good 1st, some good wheels on Min and forecheck by Poulin… Part of me wants that record-breaking crowd to go home with a smile

Do you think they'd all be happy seeing Poulin scoring a game winner?

I’d take a shoot out win I’m sure they’d have fun

 

[morhilane]

Minni goal!

edit: and I think it's a Minnesota born girl who scored too.
edit2. Verified, Zumwinkle was born in Minnesota.

 

[Le Tricolore]

booo

 

[morhilane]

booo

Nah, that crowd deserved a goal.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Nah, that crowd deserved a goal.

Yeah, but I'm a huge homer.

The Minnesota team has 14 players from Minnesota on their team

 

[Naslundforever]

Made up for the weak goal

 

[morhilane]

The Minnesota team has 14 players from Minnesota on their team

That's going to lead to some crazy homerism. Like everyone in the state know a player using the Six degree rule.

I love how they don’t have to fight every time they stand someone up, it’s part of the game.

 

[morhilane]

I feel like the girls are showing more skills this game, they were probably rusty against Ottawa.
But Montréal needs to work on its finish and passing.

I love how they don’t have to fight every time they stand someone up, it’s part of the game.

Probably because the girls aren't trying to hurt each others.

The game is a bit less physical than the Ottawa vs Montréal one thought.

 

[red devil]

Missed tripping penalty on Poulin

 

[Naslundforever]

looked like a deliberate trip at the blue there

I feel the games fly by with the refs letting everyone play on. Maybe habs games just feel like they go on forever sometimes

 

[morhilane]

I was actually thinking there was a lot less stoppage and the board battles don't last as long (outside the power play) so everything is a lot more free going.

Montréal defense playing well lasted 20 minutes I guess.

 

[morhilane]

And another PP for Montréal.

 

[morhilane]

2nd period done. Murphy had very good scoring chances in the last 5 minutes (pp and 5v5), but Minnesota goalie is dialed in.

 

[Le Tricolore]

The tank is on.
