I thought Tampa played really well against them, took away a lot of their time and space, and I thought Buffalo would come in with the same recipe or plan, and they haven't.

I think they're a team that's, what, three inches on average bigger, 20 pounds bigger, and I thought they used the physicality to keep that big line out and not give them opportunities and take a page from the Tampa playbook, and they've just...

They've returned to that team, I think, that was making mistakes early in the season.

And it's by giving players more space than they need to and not playing structurally defensively.

And that is what the Canadians have needed.

And that is what that big line has needed.

And that is what Caulfield has needed.

He's needed space.

He's needed a chance to touch the puck.

On the power play in the Tampa series, they forced him all the time.

He was always in movement, never could get set up.

You know the superstars love getting the handles, love getting the looks.

And even though he missed that complete empty netter, by the way, in the blue paint,

I'm nasty.

I get those all day.

I don't know how he missed that.

That was terrible.

But the fact that he's getting those looks now is you come back to the bench and you're like, he got none of that in Tampa.

He's, like, coming back and you got that swagger, right?

You knew it was coming.
