Hater was too strong a word… but it was the label @Crusader1969 used in his question… Power was thrown into the deep end and is learning… I’m not a fan because the kid has no physical game despite his size advantage… Today for example, our team had 40 Hits and our team physicality was largely responsible for slowing down a faster and more explosive Oiler team… D-man Hits: Dahlin 7 Jokiharju 4 Byram 4 Bryson 0 Power 0 Bryson played 14 mins… Power played 23 mins… Maybe I missed it, but have yet to see this kid come to the defense of a teammate despite his size… Power is not an intimidating personality and displays no aggression, and you can’t coach it… So, I’ll watch his development…

Get it done, Adams.

Former Power hater… Not yet fan… More like a 👀

Watch his head when the puck is in close… Completely focused on the puck… Not the skater or the stick or the noise… It’s all puck… So impressive.

Boom… Thompson Boom… Tuch… Boom… UPL Boom Sabres!

Geez, Cozens… Coulda been the hero.

Don’t jinx it, Rayser

Videotape call…

Boom… Buzzin’ gets it done… Power! Damn… Late offsides call.

Nice pass to Skinner

Solid period… Earned a point… Now get the second one.

UPL snatches it OutOfThinAir. Fixed it.

Can’t argue… Our big contract guys are nearly invisible… Zero impact.

Our second tier players are making a difference… Nice.

UPL

Tuch, Krebs, Skinner, Benson… Dahlin, Jokiharju, Power… No Shots… Pathetic. Evidence of low compete and no determination to win

Cozens nice rush… but why shoot from the top of the key?… Keep driving to the net.

Wishful thinking in his part… Here’s my wishful thinking… Granato isn’t here next year either.

Think Bales coaching… and Anderson’s mentoring… and UPL’s extra work now that the rotation has changed is making the difference since December. Shame he gets such poor goal scoring support.

UPL keeping us in it… Again. Say it a lot lately

Badly outshot 22-12… No coordinated attack… All reactive… Not converting the opportunities we get.

Good PK

Geez… Missed opportunity there… Only get so many in a game… Wasting ours.

Standing around in our own zone… Playing 5x5 like it’s a PP instead of going after the puck… Lucky to escape that shift.

Kid’s a gamer… Unlike too many of his new mates… Screaming from the bench… Leadership by example.
