"That was probably one of the crazier sequences I've ever seen on a power play. He was letting it rip... Obviously, the guy can shoot the puck. Thankfully, kept those pucks out, but after the period, it was kinda funny looking back at that."
"I don't know if I've ever seen a sequence in 16 years of doing (this), where the crowd's like - it was almost like WWE, like 'One more! Again! Again!' He was phenomenal tonight for us. And I give him a lot of credit, because Logan's been carrying (the) majority of the load, and Chuckie getting in, in a back-to-back against the hottest team in the National Hockey League, it's a tough scenario to be put into."
During a late first-period power play against the Washington Capitals, Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson unleashed five consecutive one-timer shots at goaltender Charlie Lindgren in a remarkable 28-second span. Lindgren made three saves, one shot was blocked by Trevor van Riemsdyk, and the final attempt hit the side of the net. The sequence impressed both Lindgren and Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery, who compared the crowd's reaction to WWE entertainment. Lindgren called it his first experience with such a sequence, while Thompson expressed disbelief at not scoring on any of his high-quality chances.
