enjoying the small + silly moments of NHL and life from Aotearoa | New Zealand
started watching in 3rd period of BUF-EDM game and to be vvv honest not many fun small moments (that goal in last second was inevitable 💀)
but I enjoyed that sabres went into OT at 3 - 3, and won 33 secs in!

life's been feeling hard, so made effort to watch some games in real time this week
& wow - 3 nailbiters in a row with tying goal in last min or so, all ending in OT wins to cheer me right up!
🧵 of my fave small moment per game:
classic Jeff Skinner feistiness (vindicated soonafter with drawn PP)

Saw Zach Benson's stories today that Cole, co-star of 'Between Two Stalls' & past Ops Dir. of Sabres has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, with a gofundme set up for him
www.gofundme.com/f/we-got-thi...
Lovely to see Sabres players supporting Cole - he was clearly important to them

and this clip of a Skinner-Dunn embrace after a lil bump from Eeli
Jeff just can't help but score in seattle apparently (though called back)
and Dunn had himself a night with impact all over the ice

couple amazing hockey games to catch up on! Sabres & Kraken both having SO much fun with crazy 2nd periods 🙌
no 🧵, but wanted to share this lovely clip of Duffer & Marty talking about the importance of celebrating Pride Night in hockey - highlighting Not Just Cakes bakery and YouCanPlay.org 🏳️🌈🌈

Bonus clip (for me specifically)
Jeff's nifty skating, whiffing, and laser of a shot right into goal
His 3rd in 2 games 🙌

1. Still amazed that Eberle had pelvis surgery + months of recovery, and is right back skating and making great plays!
Loved this aerial flip of his that just perfectly lands in front of Schwartz - so satisfying

almost turned off game after RNH's hattrick, but I remembered #SeaKraken's 3rd period tendencies - and of course Schwartz delivers! so fun to watch 84-10-38 amidst the loss, exciting peek at the future 🙌

1. An actual game highlight for me was Ryan McLeod - scored the 4th short-handed goal of his career and contributed to the successful PK's all game long
Loved this sequence late in the 3rd when he keeps on the puck all the way up, and even after losing his stick managing to kick pass leading to SOG

Vvv painful ending for #Sabres in a game that had been kinda even (albeit grindy). Just gotta move on & build on the good stuff from the last few games.
🧵 of my 3 fave small moments:
3. My reaction when they should've given puck to Utah on delayed penalty & instead scored an empty netter own goal

The beautiful game: a 25 second sequence in Sabres-Bruins OT where all 6 skaters + 1 goalie fall down, a net is dislodged, and ends poetically with a tripping penalty

1. been a fan of Zucker since I started watching NHL - was stoked he came to the Sabres, then again when he got extended for a couple years!
Brings great energy and feist, and just seems like a great guy - like this moment of apologising for poking at Korpisalo's glove, unaware the puck was covered

2. fun slice of life on the Sabres bench captured at the beginning of the 3rd period - McLeod smelling salts, Krebs bunny hops, and Malenstyn shoulder shimmys

Bit of a back-and-forth game, but an exciting OT and W for #Sabres! Nice to see the team having fun & holding their own

1. It wasn't the perfect game, but there was so much heart in the team tonight and they felt really connected all game long - this sequence between Stephenson-Tolvanen-Montour as a perfect example
