TJ Oshie is sometimes so good it’s gross, and during a second period goal by Nicklas Backstrom he created, it got absolutely disgusting.
Like he was toying with a mites-on-ice team, Oshie dangled through three different players on the Sabres before setting up Nicky.

Oshie:
- tapped the puck to the outside of Rasmus Dahlin and skated through his bodycheck
- deked around Colin Miller
- and deked around Taylor Hall, putting a backhanded shot on net
Backstrom found the rebound at his feet and took care of the rest.
As I said: gross.
