The point is Foligno coming to Hughes' defense, say what you will about fighting.

Some people like it, some people don't.

Uh, I thought that was a fantastic sign to see that there was like no thought given to it that when Quinn, if you're going to abuse Quinn Hughes, we're going to push back.

So let's quickly talk about the OT goal because it was the second time in a couple of weeks.

If you recall, Zuccarello was set up by Kaprizov on a three on three goal in Seattle.

And now this one was a four on three because of a power play and what was a very hard to understand what was a penalty and what was not day in Buffalo.

But you know, what's funny about it.

I thought if those two could just play three on three,

They'd be fine.

Like that goal doesn't happen five on five, I don't think.

And it's, you know, it's a case of where trying to be too cute works.

And shout out to Gustafson, just a hell of an alert play because he's the one, you know, the power play was almost done for the wild.

And Gustafson, the puck gets cleared and Gus comes up and gets it right up

The ice to Kaprizov, who feeds Zuccarello.

But those goals are so pretty, and those passes are so crisp.

But when you're trying to get them through five on five, it is really, really hard.

Four on three.

Absolutely.

Three on three.

A lot of ice there.
