Montreal Cardinals super star has been suspended after facing…
The Montreal Canadiens traveled to Nashville on Tuesday night for the third leg of their four-game road trip against the Nashville Predators.
It was the story of two teams in Nashville. After playing horribly for the opening 30 minutes of the game, the first Canadiens team rallied to defeat the league’s hottest team 4-3 in overtime.
For the opening part of the game, the Canadiens had missed assignments all over the rink. After the first two goals against, Juraj Slafkovsky lost his man, and the defense vanished as well. The Canadiens were so inept that they failed to score until midway through the second period.
Then an odd thing occurred. In just six seconds, the Canadiens scored two goals. The traditional kind was the initial objective. From thirty feet, Brendan Gallagher sent a shot into the upper corner.
The second goal was as absurd as they come. In an attempt to wrap the shot around the boards, the defenseman from center attempted the typical dump-in. Most have witnessed a halfway dump-in carom off the glass.
Nobody has ever seen a shot that made a complete 180-degree turn, struck the class in the corner at the goal line, and then, as if defying gravity, danced along the red line all the way across the ice and into the net.
