Another PP where they are being outworked by the PK-ers. It's been an issue for a month now. It can't just be the Tage one-timer. They've got to put in the effort to go get the puck, move off-puck, and force the issue. They're not doing that. It gets harder, not easier, as the season progresses.

Alright. Let's finish this period with a power (play) converter.

Tage worries me sometimes in the defensive zone.

Thompson's release is freakishly fast. He missed the net, but wowsers that was a wristed wrocket.

They've been staying home on... almost all?... road trips since COVID hit for cost purposes. Someone will need to verify that. But it's one of the reasons their road broadcasts are so lackluster.

Cozens needs to drive to the net there.

Kempe with 6 goals in his last 2 games. Need everyone to pitch in to shut down their top line.

I'm on the west coast and even I think this game is starting way too late.

Precisely. Fast forwarding to the trench run is fun upon rewatch, but you don't do that the first time in the theatre. You build to the finale. (Admittedly, the Calgary game was dreadfully smelly garbage that needs to be dumped before jumping to light speed.) It'll be fun to see how the team responds.

I know Okposo is slow and Weegar is fast, but sheesh.

In the first they gave up one good chance to mangiapane and everything else was from the outside. This period the slot is completely unmarked every single shot.

That was too close.

Blergh. Gotta wake back up. Apparently the bye week was between periods.

Defense was practiced!

Good period after a bye with the other team having already played and warmed up.

The Jost line owns the Lucic line. Speed wins.

Good kill, gents.

Okposo has had several hooks like that this year.

Unlimmmited Mitteleistung!!!

Could’ve called a hold on Zadorov for a hogtie at the blue line. But the refs are letting the Flames grab.

For sure. Scoring is way up and the Sabres are still one of the best at holding their leads Woooooo! Mitts! this season.

Chiarot should be a warning against a 1st for a d-only guy who is best in the bottom 3 but has meshed with a few really good players over the years so you talk yourself into them being a top-4.

Except they immediately started playing like they were up by 2. 😇

And the Tager is back!

They didn’t come out flat. Maybe a touch pass-happy, but not slow.
