Absolutely loved this power play goal from Sebastian. He comes into frame at the top of the far circle when Burns gets the puck. As soon as Teravainen gets the pass back from Burns, Aho immediately begins to mirror Teuvos movement. Each tight turn Teuvo makes, Aho mirrors flawlessly in anticipation of a quick pass through the slot. It’s like the two Finns are attached on a string. The Columbus Defender (#24 Mathieu Oliver, top right guy in their defensive square formation) sees this and does a good job clogging that passing lane with his stick. However, doing this gives Teravainen an easy quick pass to Guentzel who goes skate to stick to set up Aho for the one timer.
I’ve seen them do this mirroring before and it’s always beautiful and fun to watch. Loving the chemistry this team has and I can’t wait for the playoffs.

I loved Teuvo on this one a lot. If it’s not a drawn-up play Teuvo is really creative here. The double back got everyone moving and opened up a lot of chances.
Part of the reason I hope Turbo stays after this season. A lot to be gained from two guys always in each others head and playing off each other like they do so well sometimes
That was a good game
That was HOT. Beautiful movement.
That’s tape you teach with.
I love watching sports like this. I remember the first time someone told me to watch a good basketball team’s offense by trying to watch everything except the person with the ball. Instantly, you become a better viewer of the game.
Aho just casually drifting back toward the goal line, cocked and ready to unload the whole time. Saves time if you’re always ready to fire.
