Glendening sticks hip out on Eichel, Eichel appears to be hurt, goes to the locker room. I guess that's a penalty...? PK Aaaaand we barely escape the period with the lead intact. End of 2nd. Wings lead 1-0. Trap game is trap game.

Glendening. On the backhand, naturally.

GOALLLLLL

Tatar should be benched.

AA and Tatar are trying to play themselves off the power play tonight. Unacceptable.

Always been a great skater. PP We should try scoring here, I think.

Howard comes up huge, stops Nolan -- fresh out of the box -- on a breakaway.

Another BUF penalty. Short 5-on-3. Must score here.

Stop botching simple passes, holy s***. Nolan boards Jensen. Nolan continues to be a dingus and Jensen continues to be a pain magnet. PP

Even if we lose tonight, at least we didn't give Arizona their first regulation win of the season like the Habs did last night, in Montreal.

End of 1st. 0-0. We're getting chances, just need to bury them.

PK

Larkin hits the post on a partial breakaway, but draws penalty. PP

Botching simple passes. Clean it up, boys.

LGRW Time to dispense some more payback.

Honestly, I'm fine with Blashill right now. I mostly like the decisions he's making and the way he's managing the roster. I feel like making the third line a designated checking line was a big turning point; the team has played mostly decent hockey since then. Roles are better defined and the players are slotted more sensibly. As you're pointing out here, he's recently said that last year was always going to be a tough learning experience for the kids and this was the year where they'd be expected to really break out. I believe him when he says that and I like that he's rewarding their play this season. I believe Larkin and Athanasiou led all our forwards in TOI in the last game. The 2nd PP unit is being treated as the 1st unit, because they're producing and the other unit isn't. Etc.

This explains why Holland believed re-acquiring Kyle Quincey was worth a first-round pick.

Never forget.

Hronek has 7 points through 12 games.

Shut up. We're winning the Cup. It's obvious.

Wings can leapfrog the Sens tonight. https://www.nhl.com/standings #SquadGoals

Holland just confirmed that Lashoff is the next captain.

HYPE!

QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART
