This is all about getting the PK to move and that’s exactly what they’ve done with their motion and they’re switching their positions here, James. They got the finish off. These are such difficult pucks to stop for a goalender as you catch them going one way and the puck goes the other. But it’s all about the great hand eye coordination and not being afraid to get to the tough areas to get your stick on that puff.

And here we are in the late stages of period number two. They continue to hit down the accelerator. Yeah, and the coach must be loving this. I mean, sometimes you can’t put your finger on exactly why it’s working the way it is, but the chemistry is off the charts here. And they’ve got a comfortable lead. And that concludes the second period of play. Still one more period of regulation time. We’ll see what happens in the third next. The earlier injury is going to keep him out of the game, James. He just received confirmation from the staff and this isn’t good. Not good at all. Uh huge blow for the team and and somebody who’s just so out of too, right?

Buffalo’s got the puck against the wall. Grabbed along the board by takes the pass. Ottawa’s carrying the puck deep inside their own zone. Moves it quickly over to Sanderson.

And they win the offensive cells face off. Now, let’s see if they can capitalize. Oh, and what a save as he gets that one, too. What a great job of tracking the puck not one but two consecutive days.

They finally get rewarded for their efforts here, James. I like the way they played. They didn’t get frustrated. They stuck with it and they wind up getting a goal. Oh, James, we have to have another look at this goal. I mean, this is just a hardworking effort goal where you out battle and outwill your opponent. Why? You’re stumbling and while you’re stumbling, your eyes still on the puck. You know exactly where you need to move it before you go down and you execute. And as a result, it’s in the back of the net. The Senators are showing a little pride here in the third. And really, that’s all that it’s about right now. This game is over. And you can see they just want this game and the clock to tick down. They want that final buzzer to go. Here’s a short pass to Spence. Ottawa’s got the puck above the wall. Denise him in front and a good use of the body to knock the puck loose. You get these great a scoring chances nice and tight to the net. You got to find a way to convert on it, but you have to be aware of where the goalender is. You don’t have much time. You have to have quick hands, but you have to find the back of the net when there’s not much room. for those playing almost like they want a day off here tomorrow, Cheryl. Yeah, I’d say so. And you always look forward to a day off and this coaching staff has got to be impressed with this team tonight. You know, the ability to get the puck to net, driving, the pace of play and just having really great habits, consistent effort right through the game. The Sabers have been the busier team offensively and as a result, they lead it big time here in this third. Buffalo’s got it in the offensive zone. Yeah, back to back goals. You can feel the energy, the wave, the momentum in the tide turns here, James. They need to keep the pedal to the metal. The bowling coaches work all the time with one screen or one player in front, James. And he’s got to do a good job of finding this puck. I mean, it just beats him. And it looks like the hockey equivalent of going to the bullpen is happening here as they’re going to change goalenders. Well, that’s going to be it for the goalender. What a blowout. He’s going to get some relief. The Sabres are having themselves a night. They probably don’t want this one to end pounder. I wouldn’t if you’re patting the stats and you’re putting up these kind of numbers. I mean, from start to finish, they’ve imposed their will on their opponent. Gets the full use of his stick on the pH. Big save by the goalender watching that one. Doing what it takes to generate offense in this game tonight, James.

The Senators going to work on offense. Lucin’s going to opt for the whistle. I don’t mind this call here in the third. Neither do I. Listen, he has been so dialed in all night. James, he has been excellent. Arguably their best player, and he’s trying to preserve the lead here by holding on to this one to get the face off. The Sabres win the defensive zone faceoff. Solid hit on the play and that knocks the puck off his stick. Takes a shot, denies him. Buffalo has got a hold of it along the wall. Oh, he’s got rock and dumps right into his own fence. Well, he’s getting a clear message to get out of here. The only good thing is it’s his own teammates that can pick him up. The Savers move the puck in the defensive zone. Takes the feed.

Great reach with the Pel moves it to Norris. Turned aside with the glove by Marilinan.

Both teams gliding into position and the official set to drop the puck. Ottawa’s got it and they’re on the attack. Oh, and then scores all over the rebound and tucks it in for the goal. My opinion, these are the types of goals that eventually win championships. The hardnos playing, the grit, and the tenacity to fight for those rebounds. It ain’t pretty, but it gets the job done. The Senators are starting to show a little respectability here amongst themselves as they get one back. Yeah, and it’s about mojo. It’s how you end the game with good habits because you want to make sure that you don’t carry the beginning of the game into your next one. on the left side. He moves it up ahead. Oh, they’ll feel that one. Puff grab by Pin and they cough it up at center. They’ve got the defense outnumbered. Breaks up the pass in the defensive zone. That play didn’t go his way, James. He tried a little bit too much there. And when you’re trailing the game, I get you want to try and do a little bit extra and try and create some offense, but unfortunately that didn’t work out. Good fight for the puck on the boards. Good hit to pump him off the puck. The point blocked by Marilyn. Quick feed to Samuelson. Lets it go. And now a stop. Fires it into the offensive zone. The Savers have it against the wall along the side. Here they come through the neutral zone. The Senators take possession in the defensive end. moves the puck along the half wall.

Oh, there’s no more. moves it to Benson and tries to make a diag pass to Thompson. The Senators gain possession along the wall. Back to the he goes just misses. That’s a big miscue or misfire there. But you got to love that he’s getting the opportunities, James. I mean, often when you look at the stat sheet, you don’t see a goal. It’s how often though he get the opportunity. I think that’s a big one for the coaching staff to scores and maybe an attempt to try to make it respectable or is this a comeback here, Cheryl. Well, it certainly makes the deficit look better. And listen, there’s a huge mountain to climb here, but that’s the starting point. If you want to be able to claw your way back into this one, you got to build out that last shift. But when you’re in tight to the net, you don’t have much margin of error here. And he’s able to find the back of the net. It’s all about accuracy, not necessarily how hard the shot is. The Senators don’t really have time on their side here, but at least they’ve got something to push with. Yeah, really tough hole to climb out of, but certainly that one goal will give them a little bit of a lift. It’s respectable. There’s another hit. And you get a sense that this was a game plan to go after him tonight here, Cheryl. Well, he certainly has a bullseye or target on his back, James. Oh, you might call that friendly fire as it goes off of his teammates. And he was right there to make the stop on that play. Moves it quickly over to Greenway. Fires it on net. Great save. Here’s a short pass to Shabbat. throws it in front and that’s stopped. Tosses it on to Quinn. Tiptoes around the poke kick. Here we go. On man rush. Stopped by the goender from the right side. Moves it up ahead and he takes the feed wide to the net. He missed. Oh man, that is so frustrating. He gets the look that he wants. He gets to the right spot on the ice and then he just misses. Buffalo’s on the attack. What an entertaining game, James. A lot of goal calls for you as it’s been back and forth action in the offensive zones. Not much defensive structure to this one as everyone’s looking to attack. Buffalo’s got it against the boards. Saucer pass. Fires it. Oh, how did he stop that? What a save by Marilyn. All those tracking exercises when you’re young come in handy when you’re older. And this is a prime example again invade trying to find that puck. He does and makes the save. He’s out from the point and the long range shot goes off target. Handles the pass. Locker save by got possession to the other on the attack in the offensive zone. Great defensive stick on the play. taken along the wall by Thompson. Puck picked up by Ellen. And look at this. They really ratch up the intensity here. There’s the whistle as the goalie hangs on. Got to love how both of these teams are playing so fast right now. I mean, the quick counters and the transitions are creating a lot of speeds which are generating scoring chances at both ends. Faceoff coming up and Cheryl a critical one at that for both sides here. Well, you know that the goalender is extremely fatigued. I mean, just look at the last shift. I mean, in their own zone, finding ways to get the puck out and of course the opponent just owning play, hemming them in and finding ways to get the puck to the net. So, they got to continue that pressure. And if you’re on the goender side, you got to make sure you get it out of the zone and give him some rest. poked away as centered by Ziger. Grabbed along the board by Father. Slides the puck to Tus and now he angles it across to Cleven. Can’t keep a hold of it as he’s jostled off the puck. The Savers will play it in their own end. Here they come up along the wing. Takes control of the puck. Thus glove by Marilen. Peron’s quick release was on fine display right there, James. I mean, he was able to get the shot off, but he wires it off the post. Sometimes that a testament to the goalender being good position when you miss by inches. Buffalo’s been way more active here tonight on the ice and they have certainly capitalized on their opportunities and continue to lead in the third. The Senators win it in the defensive zone.

That’s a tough penalty to take, but it’s showing their frustration. The Sabers once again send out their power play unit. They’ve already scored on the power play tonight, James. And if it ain’t broke, you don’t fix it. The coach has got them all ready to go fired up. They’ve worked endlessly on this setup. The man isn’t working tonight. made the stop on the play.
