IIRC that was the play where a winger was wide open on the weak side, but Tage's "watch me dangle" tunnel vision required him to turn to the boards for the Sabres standard get-it-back-to-Dahlin maneuver....
On this PP. Tage made a good play drawing 2 defenders onto himself into the corner and then made the pass back to the point. So it’s 4v2 Sabres advantage everywhere else on the ice. But we just held the puck at the point, hesitating until the panthers got back in position. Then we tried to make a pass.
Press the goddamn advantage while you have it. If one guy draws 2 PKers to the corner, that’s the time to PRESS YOUR ADVANTAGE!!! Don’t hesitate until the PK is back in position.

That missed opportunity was all on Tage.
