The best tweets after Columbus' 10-0 beatdown of Montreal
Al Montoya hates cannons. And you can't blame him.
The Blue Jackets put a remarkable 10 goals past the Montreal Canadiens' backup goalie on 40 shots Friday in Columbus, with the Goal Cannon going off in celebration each time.
Montoya allowed eight goals in 40 minutes, but with Montreal at home to Philadelphia on Saturday, the poor guy was back in the crease to start the third period. It was his game to lose - and hopefully forget.
Here are the best tweets from The Beatdown in Ohio:
Crowd mock cheers another simple save by Montoya. During stoppage #NHL linesman Vaughan Rody puts arm around Montoya, pats him on rump.

The Rangers are now the only team in the NHL with a better goal differential right now than the Blue Jackets, at plus-12 after the win.

Seriously though Shea Weber has only been on the ice for two goals against, both on PK, which is pretty impressive under the circumstances

Man, you got to feel for Al Montoya. Talk about taking one for the team right now. Oye.

Again, no #CBJ parade of fists after the goal, just circle to center ice and wait for puck drop. Never seen anything like this. #Canadiens

It's always a good time to take a shot at the Vancouver Canucks:
The Blue Jackets have scored as many tonight as the Canucks have in 7 games.

Can a cannon overheat? Asking for a friend. #habs
