Krebs-Thompson-Tuch on the final shift of the period... absolute control.

Fantastic save

Samuelsson and Fitz on the PK look like they've done that before [for] the Amerks. Tager retains possession instead of a clear... to Muel... draws the penalty. Smart and beautiful. Like an '80s movie... taking off the glasses and shaking out the hair, this team.

Since Anderson left the lineup, absolutely. He's just a calming presence for this team.

Anderson with the easy catch on a routine infield popfly.

We won every single puck battle that shift. Just ran out of speed on the final shot.

Ohhhh! Fitz almost with the backhand wrapper

Didn't look like Bjork missed by much there.

In the Mittelstadt District?

KrebberTucher!

Mitts is going to start racking up assists the second half.

Coyotes broadcast must have mentioned how hard they played against Boston last night at least 20 times so far on the broadcast. If it were a drinking game I'd be in as bad a shape as if I were doing an episode of GI Joe Drinking Game.

Skinner is looking much improved on the power play as the season goes on. And Krebs on the PP is a good thing.

Outworking them on the PP.

Arizona taking lazy hooking, stick-waving penalties. Make 'em pay before the break!

Oh, Tucher! So close

Efffin' eh, Mitts! Krebs!

Excellent save. Schmaltz is 4-4-8 in his last 6 games, so he's currently the Arizona offense. Tage.... be healthy!

Wooooooohoooooooo!

<in Wookiee grunts> Anderson is in net. -- Where did you dig up that old fossil? ++ That is a great goalie.

That would have been fun for him. Robson... and... seriously, who would we have dressed as the backup if Anderson/Toker couldn't fly with the team? The local Phoenix emergency goalie? University of Arizona's backup goalie? A free agent for $750k?

It's a way for the league to keep some form of interest in a mid-season matchup between Arizona and Buffalo. I look forward to how the team handles the challenge. Not as much as I look forward to building this new Lego set... but forward. Challenge. Adversity. <trails off mumbling brick brick something>

It's a trap...question. Our no goalies have respawned back to our opening night goalies. And Carter Hutton has been on IR since super-early in the season. Memories: Remember how the Sabres played Arizona in game 2 of the season and Vejmelka stood on his head and stole a point for Arizona? It should have been Hutton. We would have scored a 7-spot on Hutton that game (everyone else did early in the year). It would have been so delicious for the 800 fans in attendance.

We will want that $5M in 2023 to spend, but I hope it's on a goalie that warrants the salary. What I want is in July 2023 for us to have enough information on UPL to either give him 5x5 (probably higher by then if the cap starts moving up) to be the starter or to move him or to do a 2x$2.5M as the backup to... Levi... because it's the Levi thread. The going rate in 2021 for a starting caliber goalie is $4.5M-$6M. https://www.capfriendly.com/signings/all/standard/goalies/2-15/0-15000000/0-0/1-way (Filtered for 1-way, standard contracts, and I got rid of all the 1-year deals that would have a variance (but were mostly oddities and cheap: Martin Jones to PHI, Rask returning to BOS at an insane discount). Ullmark at $5M was reasonable because he's an average starting goalie (when healthy) and that salary right in line with what starting goalies were getting on the open market in the summer of 2021. If we didn't want to pay Ullmark, we should have signed him during the season last year to try to keep the cost down or traded him at the 2021 deadline as a rental (health permitting). And that decision could have been more easily determined after claiming Nedeljkovic off waivers at the beginning of the season and sliding Hutton into the nearest garbage chute.

Michigan-Canada-Michigan-Buffalo. Unlimited (games for) Power!!!
