a perfect snapshot of the season. Coach does stupid shit…UPL plays so well he gives them a chance to overcome it.

We also don't know how these guys are in practice with these things. People used to talk about how Tallinder was money in practice against every goalie on the team but almost never got a chance to show it in the SO. It's possible Power is very good at it under those conditions and that's why he got the opportunity.
Power was a career 2-for-2 entering tonight, so maybe.

Could also be a "you got the GTG, here's your reward" deal too.

An exciting game from start to finish where there was a consistent effort? Sign me up for more of that!

Power also scored the biggest shootout goal of the year last year at MSG

Power is something you do after the first three guys. He’s going to have a different look than the shots the goalie has just seen. You send skill and confidence out early. The latter ain’t happening with Tage and Tuch either.

I’d have sent half the team before Tage. And he went FIRST

Both of Powers shootout goals shouldn't have counted because he stopped going forward

I remember Ruff doing that when they first started the SO's - giving guys a spot as a reward for what he thought was a good night on the ice. Might have been that, may have been that's he's good at that particular skill even though he's not a forward.

An extremely satisfying win because of the refs.

The specter of Adams convincing himself injuries and a steep learning curve were why they failed and the answer is another round of running it back awaits.
