It certainly sounded like a knee went askew. I made some sounds a couple times courtesy of my knee. Of course, I once lost three limbs at the same time. YMMV.

Crap. Tuch down. I thought at first a forearm injury real-time because of Miller's stick, but cannot even guess there based on how Tuch skated (and didn't grab an arm) going off the ice. I saw another city in McLeods!

Tage with a laser-dribbler!

Damn. Zucker sideways on the blocked shot.

Would love to see them start with a 3-goal lead and finish with a 6-goal lead.

UPL nice save, then the Zucker-McLeod-Tuch with a veteran o-zone shift to restore order to the game. (But Malenstyn immediately takes a sloppy penalty...)

Honestly, a good powerplay, but Quick made a couple excellent saves and Miller with the key stop.

Already 2 great chances and a double PP. Go score a TD and PAT.

And if it was a radio call, he would've missed fewer shifts goal calls than Dunleavy. hey-oh!

Savoie finished with an A and +1. (Skinner had less ice time than Savoie and -2 with no points.)

5-0 with the starter pulled. Worst lead in hockey.

I saw a chased goalie in the McLeods. Or Tuch

Stop in front of the net there, Kulich

Someday the Tage will wake up and realize that he is strong. Carves through the hook and then outreaches Shesterkin for the goal. Nice!

Woooooo!

Sabres don’t look especially fast or crisp. But the Rangers look so slow.

What if they were to stage 3 fights on the opening shift?

I'm OK with Adams keeping his job if the Sabres win 44 consecutive games starting today. ++ The guns booze... they've stopped. -- Stabilize your old-fashioned glasses. Watch for cool Nick and Noras.

Ryan Johnson with his first career AHL goal. Then takes a tripping penalty on the follow-up shift. Good for him!

Helenius has collected two powerplay assists in the 1st vs. Belleville thus far. 3-1 Amerks.

Forgot about McDavid in the slot there.

Miracle and Team USA locker room splices? Alright, now splice Strange Brew with the Canada locker room.

Given they announced he wasn’t playing this morning, I wonder if Tage got a jersey.

Now... maybe the Red Deer folks are pumping up his weight a few pounds, or tossing a bucket of water over him before weigh-in... But the Sabres are NOT exactly earning any respect in their attention to detail over the years. Something in the available information below doesn't quite match up. Maybe the Sabres just don't keep good records. 6/24/2016 Draft date: 6-0 165# (probably 5 pounds too heavy for a draft bump -- in the 6th round) 2016 Sabres Dev camp: 6-0 160# (lost 5 pounds from pre-draft information) 2016-17 Red Deer roster: 6-1 173# -- WHL populates one data set per skater so it's the same across all seasons 2017 Sabres Dev camp: 6-0 160# (no change? Lazy.) 2018 Sabres Dev camp: not in attendance. But from my notes the only official non-invites were Karabacek and Hurley, edit: as Hagel had been let back into the draft. Hagel signs ELC with Blackhawks on 10/30/2018. 2017-18 Red Deer roster: 6-1 173# (yup, still the same) 2019-20 Rockford IceHogs roster: 6-1 174# (gained 1 pound! but now those 160s look more suspect) a few years pass... Current Eliteprospects: 6-2 181# Current TBL roster: 6-2 180#

Two things of note about the 2024 WCs that Power most recently participated in: It was in May -- a few players arrived from Stanley Cup quarterfinal losers, but basically it was only players from non-playoff teams. USA and Canada never met. They were in separate Groups and the US was knocked out in the quarterfinals. (Canada finished 4th.) Power never saw anything remotely close to last night's game in either World Championship he played in. (The 2020-21 WC rosters were even less interesting.)
