You know, I have someone in the chat saying that Buffalo hit a couple of posts and they could have scored nine tonight.

Yeah, well, you know what?

Lane Hudson took a shot that ended up hitting the pad and then ended up hitting the post too.

Hold on a second here.

Hold on a second.

When a team like Buffalo has the lead and the Canadians are trying and it's not working, they have no other choice but to open up even more.

It's going to lead to even more odd man rushes.

I mean, when you're playing, when you're chasing the score, you're going to be more open and the other team is going to get some quality scoring chances.

What bothered me, I think, is that the Canadians didn't look like a team that was ready to start this hockey game like you would have never thought.

that the way the Canadians started this hockey game was a team that actually played Tampa Bay as tight as they played them and as good as they looked against them.

So I thought the Canadians didn't look like they were ready to play the hockey game.

I think the puck was a grenade for Lane Hudson.

I think there were other defensemen who on in their defensive zone, um,

saw Buffalo bodies coming, and it made them a little bit hesitant.

Once again, the Canadians didn't get anything out of Caulfield and Demidov again.

The Canadians right now, unfortunately, have a second line that is non-existent.

So if the first line gets shut down, it's hard for the second line to win you the game.

But...

Buffalo, they make you pay.

And the Canadians have that.
