Cole Caufield does much more than a can of Coca-Cola with Nick Suzuki to save the day and allow Canadians to report on an important issue 19my Victory. His selfish and costly penalty midway through the third period could have cost him dearly.

There was a time not long ago when a young 24-year-old player would have warmed the bench and received a lot of complaints from his coach for taking revenge on an opponent in offensive territory.
Times in the NHL have changed.
“Cole is not a guy who takes a lot of punishment. I ask him to get very physically involved and he does it a lot. He got hit by a big guy and I understand his frustration,” Martin St-Louis explained of his sniper hit by big Tyler Myers after the overtime win against the Canucks.
If I had the chance to go back in time, I wouldn’t do it again, he added about this useless hit with his attacker’s stick after being trampled on the ramp while fighting for the puck. But we were one second away from the game where it was difficult to make him pay the price.
“It would be easy for Cole to just score goals and sit out and not get physically involved, but that’s not what we’re asking of him.”
At the dress, Caufield was the first to say that it felt like a stupid punishment at a time when his team was 4-3.
“It was selfish on my part,” admitted the scorer of the game’s first goal. I need to be better and control my emotions, he responded. “It was a bad second in the game.”

Another from Caufield must be one of Lane Hutson’s Coca-Cola “cans.” The lone defender played the best game of his career with three goals (one goal and two assists). In the third period he was involved in Kirby Dach’s goal for the first time, scoring his first goal at the Bell Center and setting the table for Suzuki’s game-winning goal.
“It was really special,” said a 20-year-old who didn’t try like Kevin Lankinen, but instead meet Emil Heineman near the net. “I took advantage of a lucky link.”
“It’s a team victory,” he added. We have to build on that.”
In fact, the Tricolore in October and November failed to overcome a two-goal deficit after 25 minutes of play, conceding two quick goals.
