• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a very popular radio station here, And I know you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you're excited to talk Sabers. It's unfortunately your first appearance
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: on the show is after a loss, but appreciate you
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: coming on anyway.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for having me, man, I mean this is
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: yeah like this. I wish the circumstances were a little
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: bit better, but still a lot of fun. And I
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: always love to talk Buffalo Sabers hockey. So excited to
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: dive into what was a bit of a difficult one
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll touch on the game stats. We'll go
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: over the scoring summary. We're gonna get to the live
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: post games with head coach Lindy Ruff, as well as
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: select players that are made available to the media here
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: tonight downtown Montreal was a rocking building there at the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Bell Center, so we'll get all of that that going
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: for you guys as well. And yeah, just a six
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to two defeat for the Sabers. They fall to to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: one in the series as of now. Tuesday night, another
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: game at the Bell Center before they go back home.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: The Sabers with home ice advantage in the series. They've
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: now technically lost that at the moment right now. But again,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: if you split in Montreal, you've got a best of
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: three with two games on home ice for five and seven,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and you just have to win two of those if
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: they're able to get the split coming in, Jonathan, if
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: they got a split in Montreal, that would be a
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: win because we know, you know, and we saw it tonight,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: just how amazing that building can be for playoff games
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in Montreal.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean for me, though, the way the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: game started, it's not that they fully took the crowd
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: out of it, but with Thompson scored, scoring what fifty
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: three seconds into the game, i mean, come on, like
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that is your prime opportunity to truly get going and
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: take the Montreal crowd out of it and level that
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: factor right away. And it just felt like they just
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: didn't really seize the opportunity to like really keep the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: pressure on it and fully make this a difficult night
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: for Montreal and their fan base.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that with the scoring summary, but for
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: full disclosure, for those that are listening on the American side,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and we're a Canadian based Sabers podcast, but we had
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to listen to the CBC broadcast, and with Montreal being
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the last Indian team in the playoffs, they sure as
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: heck on the hockey night in Canada, the broadcast are
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: pumping Montreal's tires and I mean rightfully so, but I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: mean before the game even started. I think Ron McClain
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: said the Cathedral of Hockey or the mother Ship about
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: four times before the fuck was even dropped in Montreal.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So you Americans have no idea what this is like
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: right now having to listen to these very much pro
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Montreal Canadian broadcast on the Canadian side, and before the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: habs fans come after me in the comments. I understand
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: why they, Ok, it's a Canadian you know, broadcast for
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a reason, and the Canadians are the last remaining team
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs, so I understand it. But from our
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: perspective having to listen to it and watch it, you know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: it just it it made me me chuckle a little bit.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: It was so frustrating, like I've been for the most
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: part watching the American feeds going forward. Like obviously Brown
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: One was awesome because we got Dan and Rob depending
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: on if you were able to grab that feed right
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: and watch the games that way. So I almost there
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: was a point where I literally thought about muting the
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: TV and putting the radio call on because I just
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I couldn't stand it. Like the and like Chris Cuthbert
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: is an absolute legend, Like I'm not here to rain
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: on the guy's parade, but he's hit that point now
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: where he's making mistakes. Like he was talking about how
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Beck Mallenstein was on Washington battling the Canadians in the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: playoffs last year. No he wasn't.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: He was still with the Savers.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Like, and I know there's like lots of little things
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: that you can get wrong and whatever, but it's just like,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It just constantly feels like the Sabers
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: they don't bother to give enough credit or do enough research.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Even the stats team, I feel like they waste their
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: time and they don't look up things as much as
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: they possibly should to properly cover the game. Obviously, everybody
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: team Canada wise is trying to go behind Montreal, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I get it. And honestly, if it was the case
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: where Montreal does defeat the Sabers. I'd probably be pulling
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: for them the rest of the way myself, even but
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: like it's just it's it's really frustrating, and I feel like,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it just it just feels like everything
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: right now is against the Sabers, and even when the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Savers do do something good on the ice, it's like
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: it's a shock to people up here. It's like it
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be. This team has been one of the best
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: teams in the NHL since December. Guys, like, I.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Don't know, it's frustrating for sure, And we love Chris Guthbert,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you know, we love Canadian you know, Olympic hockey and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the great calls he's had over the years there. But yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: just a very much a pro Montreal Canadians broadcast and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the national broadcast, you know, in general, I feel like
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: are are a little bit lesser than the local broadcast.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And that's taking nothing away from the people that work there,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but it just, uh, you know, when the the big
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: guys come in for the playoffs and get all the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: glory at the end, you feel for the local markets.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And yes, listening to Dan and Razor on the radio,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: sometimes it's hard to sink it up. But if you can. Obviously,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: for us here in Canada, that's a would be something
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that we'd look look for. The people in the United
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: States are probably just wondering what the heck we're even
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: talking about here, But again that's why we're a Niagara
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Region Canadian Sabers podcast, so we can we can gripe
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: about this a little bit at the beginning of the show. Okay,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: So with that said, Jonathan, let's uh, let's look ahead
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to just sort of the quickly over the game stats here,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and as always, those are brought to you by Janel Flooring.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: If you think get a better deal anywhere else you
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: don't know Jack, check them out at jano flooring dot
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: com or visitor Naga Falls location to begin your quality
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: flooring project today. I know Jack's not gonna be upset
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: or he's going to be upset about the tonight's result,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: being a big Sabers guy himself, but yeah, I mean
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: when you look at that, Jonathan, you know shots, you
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: know in favor of the Canadians, but the Sabers in
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that third period, you know, with the Canadians sort of
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: trying to play defense with that lead there they end
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: up leading in the shot department thirty six twenty eight.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You know, the first two periods were telling in that sense.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: You expected a better face off performance for the Sabers
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: with Sam Carratt coming back in forgot to mention that
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: off the top as well. This is his first game
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: after being injured in late March, so he was back
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: in there the Sabers' best face off man, but the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Canadians took that that category pretty handily tonight, sixty two
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: point three percent of the Sabers thirty seven point seven percent.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And then you can see, you know, penalty minutes, hits,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: block shots. The Sabers actually had one more than the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Canadians did. They had one more, one less giveaway, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: they had six takeaways on the night, but six to
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: two on the score sheet. I don't know if there's
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: anything you want to touch on from the game stats tonight.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a it's almost like with the shots
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: on goal, if things got closer than they should have been,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Like I felt like the once the game kind of
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: got out of hand, and I don't know, like I
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: just I wanted more from the Sabers early on. I'm
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I don't really care about the totals. It was the
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: differential between the two teams in the first period in
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the second period, Right, you look at that first period
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: fourteen to eight. To be out shot like that, that's
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: not gonna fly, especially on the road. You've got to
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: get pucks on net. You know, we're not going to
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: see the same success that we saw in Game one,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: where what was it, I think Dobish gave up four
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: on nine or something like that. I think it was
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: back in the first game in Buffalo. That's not gonna
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: happen again. You need to get pucks on net. You
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: need to test him, you need to make him work,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: you need to make him as tired as the Canadians
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: ended up making Alex Lion throughout the night. Even in
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the second period, it still wasn't that much better. Still
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: outshot by five point five shots, and then in the
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: third you kind of have the edge, but that's because
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you're chasing the game, right, So for me, it's just
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: about making these stats a little bit more even or
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: even trying to lead these categories coming out of the
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: first coming out of the second period. And I think
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: that's where Buffalo's biggest problem is that I just I
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: don't know. I haven't loved their first periods, and really
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I haven't loved them most of the playoffs as a whole,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: but especially in this series. I have not left the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: start the last two games that the Sabers have had.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, early in the series against Boston, they really struggled
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: in the first periods and then they started to get
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: a going a little bit near the end of that series,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and we're able to close it out. But everyone was
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: sort of, I don't want to say, on their high
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: horse after game one. That's a you know, maybe I'm
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a little bit too far on that one, but everybody
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: was a little bit over confident. I said, Okay, guys, like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: let's relax here. Montreal's going to adjust. They just came
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: off a seven game series against the Tampa Bay Lightning,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: where you have to have a game or so to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: adjust to the Sabers team. And I knew that there
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: was going to be a pushback from Marty Saint Louis team.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: They're always ready to go, They're always ready to bounce
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: back after a loss. And even though the Sabers are
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: one of the best road teams in the NHL this season,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I knew that you know, the second game obviously win
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: as it went for a Montreal's favor, and then you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: expected the Sabers to have, you know, a solid performance,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: and you know, guys like Tage Thompson were highly ridiculed
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: for what was a very tough game for him. You know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: it is only one game and Tage Thompson is still
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the leader that that forward group, so it was nice
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: to see him get the goal early fifty five seconds in.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: But then you know, they really, as you mentioned, they
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: really didn't build off of that and it they let
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the Montreal crowd get going, get back into it, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: we saw just as you mentioned just that at times
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: they looked they looked lost the Sabers did in the
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: defensive zone coverage. With the lineup, there really wasn't any
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: changes other than Sam Carratt coming in for Tyson Kozak
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: as the fourth line center on the night. I know
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Stanley's going to get some criticism for a couple of
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the goals tonight as well, but which we'll talk about
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the scoring summary there. But you know, just as far
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: as looking at at what we saw tonight from the lineup, Jonathan, like,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: is there anything that you might want to see different
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: or even you know, we saw them shake up the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: power play units as well. I should mention that that
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: they that Lindy Ruff did try out some some different
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: combinations there, but I don't know if you got any
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: thoughts there.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I thought the changes on the power play were actually
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: to the benefit of the Sabers. I liked what I saw.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I know it still wasn't a super successful night. He
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: had Dolian get a power play goal for the guys.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: But the big thing that I was looking at as
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: the night went on was Jason Zucker his time on
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: ice right Like he is not playing a fourth line
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: role right now, but he still only had according to
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: this numbers, I'm seeing six minutes forty seven seconds of
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: ice time throughout the game. I think he's one of
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: those guys that's battling something, and like everybody's battling something
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and we're not supposed to speculate on injuries all that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I get that, but I just think about it, like,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: if you're only giving six minutes of ice time to
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Jason Zucker, if that's all he's got, I kind of
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: would almost say, let's give him a rest and get
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Kozak back in there, because I didn't hate what Kozak
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: was giving you centering that fourth line, and then that
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: gives you with krc now back in it, give that
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: gives you another guy who's somewhat decent in the face
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: off zone. Like, I don't think that Kozak hurts you
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: in the dot necessarily. I mean, I haven't looked at
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: the numbers that badly, but from the eye test, I
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: didn't see anything that jumped off the page where I
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: was like, Man, Kozak's got to get off being a centerman.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: That's not gonna work. But I will say that Tays
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Thompson right now cannot win a face off to save
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: his life, and that's been something he's struggled with since
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: they've tried to make him a center, going back to
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: the Grenado days.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: So to me, I'm wondering, like, maybe if you give
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Zucker a knight off, you put Carrick back maybe between
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Benson and Done, then maybe you move Thompson to the
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: wing and give the opportunity to Norris take some more draws.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the play. I don't know
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: if you put Carrick up there, but I just think
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: you got to get Thompson out of the dot because
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: that's that's the killer even on the power play, is
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: that they never start with the puck's They're like, very
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: rarely are they actually winning a face off in the
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: zone to start a power play, And that's automatically wiping
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: fifteen seconds of time to set up and get the
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: puck rotating around, which is the saber strength. When they
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: get the puck moving between guys pat making passes going
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: east west on the power play, I think that's where
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: they can really expose munch all, you know, looking at
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Dobish and net. The only goals we've scored on him,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: it's been screenshots and it's been east west plays.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Think about that last game where there, you know, Benson's
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: at the at the net side stick down, tap in right.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Even in the first game, it was either a side
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: to side, post to post, you get Dobish moving, you
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: expose him that way, or you gotta give us a
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: seeing eye shot that he doesn't see, right, Like, you're
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: not gonna beat this guy clean. He's feeling it too much.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: So I don't know this. I don't want to be
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: overreacting here, you know, and like I know how much
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Jason Zucker has given us and given our team throughout
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the year, but I just feel like if he can't
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: give you more than six minutes in a night, I
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: think i'd rather see Tyson Kozak out there, who I
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: believe is healthy. And I don't know if you saw
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: that pop that Karrot got at the end from Jack.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Guys like I don't know what Karrick was dealing with,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: but I can't imagine getting punched in the face helps
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: you very much in your first game. So no, And
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: with Austlin, he was a guy that you liked when
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: he was in the lineup, but then obviously he's been
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: injured and it's going to be out for the rest
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: of the series, so that's unfortunate as well. And you
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: mentioned with the power play, their problem is the zone entries,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and when they don't start with the puck and they
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: have to try to get the puck back into the zone.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: That's when mistakes happen.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: And that's what we've seen with the Sabers power play,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: not being able to start with the puck and set
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: up there. And as you mentioned about Jason Zucker, you
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: don't want to expect that on any injuries, but from
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Matthew Fairburn said that Zucker only played three minutes and
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: thirty two seconds through two periods, and that's just you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's dealing with an injury there.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll have to wait and see if Lindy
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Rouff updates us later on that one. But yeah, just
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: when you look at the discrepancy and what we saw
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: from the points with the what we saw from the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: player stats tonight, and I got to pull it up
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: on my screen because I can't read it because the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: interface is too small.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: On my screen.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Well, we know Benson got twelve minutes and penalties, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I mean that's pretty standard for what the game he's
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: sort of been playing and the role that he's adapted
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to for the Sabers. But you know, when you look
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: at the ice time tonight, you know Dollen led it
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: with twenty three minutes. You also had Byram with over
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes. Samulson played over twenty three minutes tonight. Stanley
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: played less than twelve minutes, So I don't know if
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: he played a little bit less than that third period
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: after you know, giving up that goal, trying to get
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: back in the defensive end. And then the Saber's trying
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: to press, so they don't really want Stanley on the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: ice when they're trying to create offense.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: So that might have been that there.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, everybody else played at least over
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: just over ten minutes except for Jason Zucker and Sam
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Krrick tonight. We know what happened with Malenstein and taking
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: that penalty with Dobish, which we'll we'll talk about a
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: little bit after as well. But yeah, I mean, just
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: you know, Quinn was minus two tonight, Tuck was minus
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: two tonight, Thompson was minus two tonight, even though he
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: scored fifty seconds in Byram minus two. Dolleen was minus two,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: and I know that there was an empty net goal
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: in there by Montreal and things like that. But they're
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: just gonna need to have better performances up and on
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the lineup offensively. You can't have Donan and Benson working
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: hard at every single game and nobody else really pulling
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the rope there. So I just think they need better,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: better contributions from some of those veteran players that are
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: being paid to produce and that are expected to produce.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I think that first series, right, one of the takeaways was,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: you know, long term for US Sabers fans and people
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: who are following the Savers is man Alex Tuck. He
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: is earning a lot of money. He's gonna get himself paid.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Da Da da da.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I kind of feel like the last couple of games
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: have cost Alex Tucks some money. I want more out
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: of Tuck. I want a little bit more defensive responsibility.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I didn't love the penalty he took. I thought it was,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of a lazy stick penalty to take,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: you know, And I don't find him shooting enough. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: just think there's some something amiss right now. And maybe
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: it's just there's too many guys who are dealing with
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: too much going on, whatever it is, but they just
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: don't seem to have the immediacy that I want to
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: see out of them. When Buffalo is playing their best hockey,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: everything is boom boom. Pucks are coming off sticks real quick,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and it's like it doesn't really matter. I know, I
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: just singled out Alex suff but it doesn't really matter
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: who you look at right now. I felt like everybody
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: was just a split second too slow to get rid
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: of the puck, to make the play to move the
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: puck north. Everything is just taking a touch too long.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: And maybe that's Montreal just being that much faster, that
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: much more determined to get the puck. Maybe that's all
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: it is, but it just feels like there's so many
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: guys who had opportunities to make really quick bang bang plays,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: the puck play that Lindy Ruff is always talking about.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I just feel like tonight it and even last game,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: it's not going fast enough to give them the opportunity
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: to tilt the ice in their favor.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: And coming into tonight, Buffalo had won three straight postseason
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: games on the road, tied for their longest streak with
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: a single postseason in franchise history. They were outscoring opponents
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: by ten on the road this season, the highest amongst
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: playoff teams. They two thousand and six in nineteen ninety
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: eight were the other teams that the Sabers had, but
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the longest road win streaks in a postseason, and they
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: had a plus ten goal differential was tied for the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: best that they've ever had in the playoffs on the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: road so far the season, but obviously tonight didn't go
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: their way. We'll quickly go over the scoring summary has
• 19:30

• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my first notes, we're talking about the Cathedral of
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: hockey and the Mothership.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I'm done with that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: We mentioned Tatee Thompson, you know, picks up the friendly
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: rebound off the back wall behind Dobish in an empty net,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and you're thinking, Wow, if there was ever a guy
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: that needed a break like that, it was Tage Thompson,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: who hasn't scored since he had that you know, epic
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: t goal comeback for the Sabers in Game one against
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the Bruins. I had gone seven goal seven straight games
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: without a goal, and yeah, fifty five seconds in, it's
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: one nothing Buffalo, and you mentioned right away, you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: you stunned the Montreal crowd and you're thinking, Okay, this
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: is gonna look a lot different than we.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Saw in game two.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it felt like this is the exact moment we needed.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Thompson's gonna get his breakout. You know, it was a
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: power It felt like a power play. Marker because it
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: was dolling from Thompson, like your big boys getting after it,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: getting early. It really felt like something special that was gonna,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: you know, really allow for the Sabers to break through
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: the damn and then from there it just seemed like
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Montreal became a much more desperate team and Buffalo again,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: just in my eyes, they just were not quick enough,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: They were not fast enough, they did not want to
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: move the puck north like I say, and eventually Montreal
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: was able to break them with that Alex new Hook goal.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Who I mean, Alex new Hook?
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Who?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Like, what do we do? Why are we letting this
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: guy torch us? The new fies just crushing a yes
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I have a Colorado Avalanche fan, and I texted him
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: after the last game instead, I'm not really a fan
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: of Avalanche legend Alex Newhook And then I literally just
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: texted him again tonight with the same thing and said this,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: this statement still stands, So imagine him on Colorado right now.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they weren't already an unstoppable wagon, Alex
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: new Hook really, you know, performing well? And I will
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: give it to the CBC broadcast, they talked about new
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Hook playing down in a role and maybe that was
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: better for him. Clearly, you know, he's been one of
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Montreal's best players so far in the playoffs. Talk actually
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: came in as the Sabers, you know, top point producer.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: But as you mentioned, yeah, just the start of this
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: series has not been good and especially the last two
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: have not been good enough for number eighty nine, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he would be the first to probably say
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: that as well. And we should mention Tage Thompson's comments
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: after last game when he was asked by reporters, are
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you playing injured? And he basically just said it's none
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: of your business. So again, you can take that one
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: or two ways. Either he just doesn't want to talk
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: about anything at all, or maybe he is playing through
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: an injury. And we know players are playing through a
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: lot in the playoffs on all teams, but people keep
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: going back to this one play in the Bruin series
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: where he kind of got slew footed. I think it
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: was from Macavoy, but you know, it didn't really seem
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: to affect him going forward. But you know, I'm sure
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: he's playing through something like a lot of the players
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: are on every team, so you know, he just gave
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: a short response like that after a loss. I'm not
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: going to grill him for it, but I found it
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: kind of interesting that he sort of barked at that.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the red flag for me was I think it
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: was the final power play the Savers had tonight where
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: there was a moment where he was set up in
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: his office, so to speak, on that side in the
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: power play, wound up and ended up passing off on
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: the shot. And now I know, and I understand that.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: You know, if you're wound up like that and you
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: have the ability to maybe not shoot and just have
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: it blocked or whatever. But if you're Tage Thompson and
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: you can fire a shot as hard as he can,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: why would you not take the shot? And if one
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: of Montreal's players steps in front of it and they
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: break their ankle in front of it, that's playoff hockey.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: They didn't need to do that. They didn't need to
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: step in front of a ninety eight mile an hour
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: slap shot. That's the way it goes. And yeah, you
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: didn't score, But if you're just dishing the playoff back
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: to Dullin and he's not shooting them, what why are
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: you wasting it? So The only other reason in my
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: head that Thompson doesn't take that shot is I'm wondering
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: if he's got something that's he's dealing with, whether it's
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: something in the back, maybe a shoulder or whatever. Again,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not here to speculate. I'm not a doctor. I'm
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: not going to pretend to play it on TV or
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: anything either. But I just look at that moment in
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: the game, and I think there was more than a
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: few moments, maybe in the Boston series, where he was
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: trying something like that and the stick would either explode
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: in his hand or he'd fall on it, whatever, And
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I just was like, the guy is not necessarily feeling himself,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: and you still got to find a way to be effective.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: And I think, you know, for the most part, I
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: didn't really have a ton of criticism for Thompson.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I know, he got burned on that play at the
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Blue Lionish area in Game two. It happens kind of
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: looked like he caught a rut and tangled up his
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: feet whatever. Maybe it's a leg injury that prevented him
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: from being as nimble as normal, But I mean he's
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: been coming out, he's been laying the body. He's trying
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: to do something, he's trying to manufacture things as best
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: as he possibly can. I I don't know. This is
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: just playoff hockey. This is just one of those times.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: You know, the twenty sixteen was a wagon and then
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, every single defenseman that we had
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: was hurt. So this is playoff hockey. It happens. You're
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: gonna have to battle through. But I just I want
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: to see the Sabers if they're gonna lose games like that,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I want to see somebody go out there and take
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: a bite of somebody else. And I'm not seeing enough
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: of that either.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw Malenstein do it with Dolvish, and again,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: was that maybe a little bit too far? And did
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: he get lucky that he didn't get a five minute major? Probably,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: But again you need a little bit of fight back,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and other than ninety one and six, which is Donan Benson,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: there isn't enough of that from the rest of the
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: guys right now. I know there's scrums, but it just
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: feels like Montreal has the momentum right now in this
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: series and the Savers are gonna have to turn it
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: in their back in their favor. And again, like Fortage,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: hopefully that goal gets him a little bit of confidence
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: going into Game four. We saw how snake bit and
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Cole Cawfield has been for the Montreal Canadians, and he
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: got on the board tonight.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I'll just move forward with the scoring summary.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: There new Hook on the rebound as Evans kind of
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: had Lion out of the crease. Lion was very aggressive,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I will say, especially in that first period, there were
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of times where he was right outside the
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: crease coming out to challenge the pucks, but that one
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: was caused with the Timmins.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Turnover on the fore check.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Lion was very aggressive as I mentioned, and new Hook
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: was able to pot that thing in on the rebound
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: as Evans kind of got that initial shot and it
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: was one one at that point because you thought, darn
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: like the Savers got a lead and then you wondered
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: if they could get that second one, it could really
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: change things. Montreal was able to get that thing tied
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: and have it won one going into the second period.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: The Sabers also had a power play.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Didn't do anything on it than the five point five
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: percent on the power play in the playoffs.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Just uh yeah, I mean We've we've been beating a
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: dead horse with that all season long.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: In this episode on this on this podcast, Jonathan, so
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I just, uh, you know, it is what it is.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: And then Dollean takes a penalty at the end of
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: the period, uh, which negated the rest of that power
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: play to start the second. But you know, you thought
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: one one out of the first period.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't hate it, but I felt like the Sabers
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: had a missed opportunity, uh to really, you know, either
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: get more of a lead there or at least just
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: have more confidence, because I felt like Montreal swung the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: momentum in their favor by the end of the first Yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I agree too. I just you let them back into
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: the game there, and then it's just you can't. I
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: don't think you can do that. I think what we
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: learned from that Boston series is the power of going
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: up two goals. Two goals. I know everyone's like, oh,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: it's the most dangerous lead in hockey. I feel like,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: just in general, across the board in these playoffs so far,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: it feels like if you can get up on somebody,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: you can manage the game a lot better. You're not
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: chasing it and everybody else who is chasing it. It
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: kind of wears you down, makes you grab the stick
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit tighter. You just can't quite make things
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: happen the same way when you're chasing a game as
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: opposed to when you're attacking from a position of strength.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: So I don't know, I agree with you. I really
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: wanted to see Buffalo get either a two to zero
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: lead or even a two to one lead, just to
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: see where things could have gone and if they could
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: have kept the momentum rolling down the hill as opposed
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: to what we saw, where it seems like they kind
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: of every once in a while just get hemmed in
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: and then it's a scramble. Then it's lying battling, which
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: I can appreciate his battle. I can appreciate his fight.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I know how good he is on the road, But
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Something's got to shake up. I think
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: in that lineup and in that room, and I'm starting
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: to look at maybe the goaltending position and maybe is
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: it time to go back to UPL. But I don't
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: even know if UPL is better suited to deal with
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: some of the goals we saw right Like, I don't
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: know what do you do on that sleev Costki goal
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: when he's sitting there all alone, like front and center
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: in Broadway.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, Lindy Ruff has sort of rode
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: the hot hand all year long with the three goalies
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: when you had Colton Nellisen to that. But again, like
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Lions given them an opportunity to win. He came up
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: with some big saves in that second period as well,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: or it might have could have even been worse by
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: the end of it. Montreal gets four straight goals there
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: between the end of the first and then the second period.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: The power play goal by Coffield after Greenway's stick had broke,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: so it was basically a five on three. Coffield just
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: kind of found the puck in the slot there buried
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: it to give the Habs a two to one lead
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: there on the man advantage and for Coffield finally waking
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: him up, which is not good for the Sabers. If
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: number thirteen, the best goal scorer in the National Hockey
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: League this year, gets going, could have been worse. The
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Sabers got a break when then had scored, but they
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: ruled that his stick had pushed Lion into the net,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: but the puck was still loose. I thought that was
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: a goal, So I think the Sabers got lucky on
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: that one. That was another Montreal goal that sort of
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: got called back, and then Stanley turned the puck over
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: in the neutral zone. The puck got shipped back out
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: and we know, you know, his deficiencies, you know, in
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the skating department, but Volano was able to beat him
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: to the puck and then finds bull Duke out front
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: to make a three to one, and then Mallenstein, as
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: we mentioned, boldover Dobish there. It only resulted in a
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: two minute power play, and then that resulted in that
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Slavkoffski goal, as you mentioned, just standing right in the
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: blue paint, nobody around him, tips in the the lane,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Hudson shot and just like that, the Sabers are shell
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: shocked and it's four to one after you know, what
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: was what was a one to one game after the
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: first and after the second. You know, I know Dallen
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: ended up getting that that power play goal with Benson
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: standing in front, but it's four to two after the second,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: and I didn't have any really good feelings even when
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Dahlin scored that power play goal.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I see, I did feel pretty decent the way they
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: came out in the third period. But I was watching
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: the game, and I was sitting there saying, like, where
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: was this all?
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Game?
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Like, you cannot wait. You're in the second round of
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. You cannot wait this long to get to
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: your game. You have to if you're going to score
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: goals in the first minute of the game, you have
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: to keep that momentum roll and keep that ball rolling.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: And they just they just didn't find it. And I
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: you know, I know Dleen looks bad on the score
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: sheet with the minus two. I thought Dleen played really
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: really well. I thought he activated really well. I thought
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: he had some moments where he was a real leader
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: and a driver on the ice for his team. You know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: maybe I'm just trying to be a captain positive here
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: and I'm missing something that was some glaring mistakes. And
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: they could obviously let us know all the listeners, the
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: fans can let us know. But for me, Dawleen did
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: everything I could ask of him as a captain. I
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: thought he stirred it up between whistles really well, through
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: some good hits, through some good reverse hits. But you know,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: you needed more from doleen Byrom has had a really
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: quiet series. After how good he was against Boston, he
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: has been really really quiet Owen power. I'm not gonna
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: I think there's enough people who pile on Owen power
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: and what. I love to see him on the score sheet, absolutely,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: But I don't necessarily think that he's been awful either.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: He's just kind of been there. He's playing like a
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: fourth defenseman. But when the guy's got the skill set
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: that he's gone, I wouldn't mind seeing a little more
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: out of Owen Power going forward, you know.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he was like I'm looking at a lot
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: of the forwards right now. But as you mentioned, yes,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: after how productive the Sabers dcorp Has been during the
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: regular season and how you know effective it was in
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: that first round, you're wondering, Okay, when's it gonna start
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: coming here? We see what Hudson's doing on the Montreal
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: side and how he's controlling play from that power plan.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I know, Dawlien had that really nice power play goal
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: where he took that stutter step, you know, waited it
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: out and then threw it on net and Dobich didn't
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: even see that puck because Ben's standing up front. They
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: just needed to do more of that, and Dallian's obviously
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: nominated or a finalist for the Norris Trophy, and we
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: had journ reporter the Sabers a leacher report just talking
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: about how good Dahlen's been and we know what everything
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that he's dealt with, it's just it's hard to ask
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: him to to kind of carry the load on that end.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: He gets the power play goal, but it's four to
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: two months for all after two and then it's a
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: two on one with the Sabers sort of trying to
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: push there. Textsia and Deno go down on the two
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: on one. Doc gets the puck back O front of
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: the rebound. No one's around lyon to help him scrambling around.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: It's five to two, and then new Hook gets the
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: de facto empty net goal when Dalen was hooking him on,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: which is a penalty which results in basically a goal
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: there for new Hook in the empty net and the
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: final six to two on that on the night, I
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: know again, you just I just wanted to see a
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: little bit more fight. I know the shots are very
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: lopsided and take that with discretion in the third peer
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: with Montreal playing with the lead, but yeah, just not
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: not a great performance for Buffalo tonight. And I know
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: that you know Malenstein doing what he did, it was
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: you know, borderline dirty. But they need to get in
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the face more Adobe is. She's obviously feeling it right now.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: He's got the swagger a little bit cocky as well,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I must say, you know, with just you know, his
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: goal celebrations and how he's talking a lot to the
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Sabers opposing players, you can tell he's really feeling it
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: right now, and the Sabers sort of have to get
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: him off his game if they're gonna have a chance
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: to get back into this thing.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: And to be fair, we loved that same energy when
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: it was Alex Line given that energy to Boston in
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the first round. Right, So it's not something that Sabers
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: fans should be shocked that we're seeing. It shouldn't be
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: anything that we're upset about seeing. You mentioned the Mallenstine play.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: You know, I was, I was running my mouth. I
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: was saying, I'm watching the game with my wife, and
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I was saying that somebody's just got to go and
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: crash the crease. You gotta get in there, you gotta
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: go and slam his cupboards a little bit rattle the
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: kitchen sink a little bit, see if you can knock
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: him off his game, and maybe instead of going after Dovish,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: what really needs to happen is, look, if Logan's Stanley
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: is gonna play eleven minutes and be a minus one
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: and take twelve pims, I need to see that guy
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: grab somebody and beat the hell out of him. Which
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I know we're not really supposed to encourage that sort
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: of stuff in hockey this night anymore. I get it.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: But you have a guy like that who's a monster, and.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: And you know what Jack Guy's doing on the Montreal side, Well.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got Jack Guy on the other side doing
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: the same thing. And you have kessel Rings sitting there
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: as well. So like, even if if Stanley breaks his
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: hand on somebody's face on Montreal, I'm confident that kessel
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Ring could come in and at least give you five
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: to six minutes and get you through it, if not more.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: I really don't love that that guy had didn't get
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: the opportunity down the line to be another tower back there.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: But I mean, Connor Timmons was so reliable and still
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: is in my mind, not really doing anything to cost himself.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I know he's minus one today, took a penalty today
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: in today's game, But I don't know. I just think
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: he got guys like Greenway, got guys like Stanley. Somebody
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: needs to grab somebody and make an example out of
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: them on Montreal, And even if you lose that fight,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: if it gives a little bit of life to your team,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: it gives you something to write home about. Like it
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: just feels like they're a little bit too passive with
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: their opportunities to be aggressive. And that doesn't mean also
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: that I want them running around either, because when I
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: reflect on Game two, I felt like out of the
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: gate they ran the Sabers ran around a little bit
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: too much where they were looking to be on kill,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: hit everything in sight, and Montreal focused on playing the
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: puck and that's how they got out ahead early in
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: game two. Tonight, I thought Buffalo was a little bit
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: better about playing the puck early and trying to generate chances,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: but they still ended up falling flat. And I'm like, like,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: somebody's got to do something here, And you mentioned Benson
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: and Don like it can't just be them, Like somebody
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: has got to get dragged into a fight. I don't love.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you're finding it, but I'm finding
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: the refs are way too quick to break everything up up. Like,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know what they're really afraid of is gonna happen.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: But like, I think some of the silliness that you
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: saw at the end of the game could have been
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: prevented by maybe letting a couple of guys go at
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: it earlier in the night. I don't know, That's just
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: kind of what I was feeling, what I was seeing.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I felt like they were just jumping on things too quickly,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: trying to keep the lid on the game, instead of
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: just maybe letting two guys go to center ice and
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: settle it themselves.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I think there was a mandate from the league.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I think it's CBC brought that up on the broadcast,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: that they wanted to see the series have a little
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: bit more decorum. I guess you could say so that
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: I think that's why the rest were breaking it up.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we saw with the Malenstein, you know, running Dobish,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: how what that created, and then at the end of
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the game we saw that you know, full line brawl.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: It was again other than Doan Benson and Malenstein. I
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: didn't see enough of that from everybody else tonight.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Mm hm No.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: It's like, like, gloves have to hit ice, Like even
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: if it's just two guys, If it's two guys that
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: square off right, and those are the only drop gloves
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: that drop all night, you can live with that. You
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: can deal with that and a say in a playoff
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: hockey game, and I get what the league is saying,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: I get it whatever, but that's also how you end
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: up with a Charlie McAvoy incident like we saw at
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: the end of the series, where he's starting to swing
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: a stick around after what he feels like was dirty,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: after he was dirty all series too, right, So to me,
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess I have an old school
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: mentality and I feel like maybe there's still a room
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: for that, or maybe the Tampa game is still lingering
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: in the back of my brain for what I want
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: to see out of this team and what I want
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: to see out of hockey when things are getting a
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: little out of control. But I don't know. I just
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I need more fight from the boys. I need a
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: little bit more as much as I need the fight
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I come back to. It's got to be the quickness,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: like we need to see pucks off stick really quick.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: I just feel like they're hesitating, they're thinking a little
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: too much. Maybe they're thinking they're looking for that pretty pass.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Worry about getting that pretty pass when the puck is
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: below the dots in the other end. You got to
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: get it to there first and then you can start
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: to maybe take your time and set something up.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: And we know Montreal has the combatants to be able
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: to want to drop the gloves too, So if that's
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: what the Savers got to do to try to turn
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: momentum in the series, you're right, and they have to
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: be able to not not be so indecisive with the puck,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: especially on the power play, be able to you watch
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: the way Montreal moved it around. And again, that five
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: man unit is really lethal, and we saw it tonight
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: with their two power play goals. And again, the Savers
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: have to stop taking bad penalties. They took an offensive
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: zone penalty that resulted in a goal tonight. So again,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: a lot a lot on the tape for Lindy Ruff
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: to be able to learn from and adjust from, because
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: we know Marty Saint Louis is going to have his
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: team ready come Tuesday, we'll have to see with Lindy Ruff.

• 44:02
  Speaker 2: of ninety seven to seven hits FM back with you,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: continuing to break down this Sabers six to two loss
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: in Game three of their second round Stanley Cup playoff
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: matchup against the Montreal Canadians. Jonathan, I know we're gonna
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: go to head coach Lindy Rough here in just a
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: moment here.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: But again, if you're the Sabers, you got to.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Look forward to to Tuesday night because if you go
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: down three to one, that's gonna be that's gonna be tough,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: because then you have to win the next three, five, six,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: and seven, two of them at home. But then you know,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: you got to go back to the Bell Center pivotal
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Game four, the swing game. It's either gonna be two
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: two and you've got the best of three on home ice,
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: or you're gonna be down three to one and you've
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: got to run the gauntlet.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't it's not it's so funny, Like
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's just you know, after how
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: many years of not having any playoff action to watch
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: or whatever, I still remain positive. Like I know, I've
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: kind of been sour on a few things here and there,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: but to me. They're not hard things to fix, you know,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: I've seeing the guys do enough. You know, I don't
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: think we're asking them to do things they haven't done
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: already before. Like I say, if the Sabers play their game,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: there's no reason they can't win Game four. And if
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: they win Game four and it's two two going back
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: to Buffalo, it's a whole new series.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: And again I'm still positive that this season has already
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: been a win. You broke a fourth season playoff drout,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: you won the Atlantic Division, you won a round. But again,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: when the team is so good right now and the
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: path is there, you know, with certain teams out or
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: not even in it this year, you just wonder about
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: what could be if they could, you know, get to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: that next round against Carolina, who look to be you know,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: the class of the East obviously as the number one seed.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: But again, it's just tough. But again, Montreal is a
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: really fun team to watch and another up and coming team. Uh,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: these two teams that think are gonna be playoff teams
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: for a very long time to come. And I just
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: love watching Montreal play as well as hard as it
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: is as a Sabers supporter and trying to analyze the
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: game on the Saber side watching Moncher all plays a
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: lot of on at the same time. So I got
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: a hand it to Marty Saint Louis Club. They came
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: out to play tonight and h and they gave it
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: to the Sabers, So I think I think on that note, well,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: we'll go to Sabers head coach Lindy Ruff with his
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: postgame thoughts brought to you by Wild Bills out of
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Repair helping customers stay safe and confident on the road
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: in the Agresson's twenty twelve in honor of the late
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: William Robert Hunter. Let me get the screen shared here
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: and we'll get to head coach Lindy Ruff with his
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: postgame thoughts.
• 46:25
  Speaker 9: Next up, to defend control. To face a group like
• 46:28
  Speaker 9: slav Costky caught field, Layne Hudson Ni Suzuki.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: Have to be smarter. You know we took five of
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: his own penalties. You know, our discipline for that wasn't
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: wasn't good enough. He let them operate five on four
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: and you know we end up with a broken stick
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: penalty killing goal against. And you give them that much time,
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: they're going to get opportunities.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: What's going on with Jason Zucker. He was pretty well,
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: he just really.
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: He got caught, you know, not being on the number
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: one power play and then when all the penalty killing.
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: You know, I think you sat there quite a while,
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: so you know, I tried to keep I tried to
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: get the guys that were up and run and just
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: keep them out there. That's that. Yeah, Physically it's good.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Lindy Teacher said, you guys just became too emotional,
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: even Keel.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Even Keel has been a strength to viewers, But did
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: you see your group get too emotional tonight?
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: I guess we've made some uncharacteristic decisions with the puck
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: that we haven't made. You know, even through the six
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: games with Boston. You know, you look at the one
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: goal easy play in the neutro zone. It should be
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: an easy pass to Krebs. We missed the player by
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: big and mouth. They go the other way and it's
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: in the back of our net. Our puck play, I've
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: talked about that the first couple of games. Our puck
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: play still isn't to a level that I'd like. Lindy,
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: what were the teams were you guys were doing when
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: you were adding success that you were getting away from
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: right now, just everything we're you know, we've, like I said,
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: are some of our puck decisions haven't been good, but
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: some of the discipline in the in the game. You know,
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: maybe I do disagree with maybe a couple of calls,
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: but I think every night somebody's going to disagree with
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: a call here there. Our discipline is something that go
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: to Game six in Boston. Score, Yeah I didn't the
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: team didn't take a penalty.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: I know you didn't score, But those first eight minutes
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: of the third period, is that the takeaway offensively?
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: To get back to that the for check, Well, we got.
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: The best start we could get to the game, and
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: then again we're we're breaking breaking a couple of bucks
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: out and we made some mill of ill advised play,
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: some bad decisions that we haven't been making. So Montreal
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: is a good team. They made us pay. They made
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: us pay for our mistakes.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Lindy was at the bad decisions that you're talking about
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: that led to some of their open men in the
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: offensive zone. They did seemed like.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: They had quite a few.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, we've been a good defensive team, and
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: you know, we had let one breakdown, take us to
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: a place that we didn't need to get to inside
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: the zone. You know, as a kid, you talked, don't
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: follow up a bad pass. They had some of those plays.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: You talk about, puck play, power plays all feed into it.
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: But just how surprised are you that you know pace
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: of play you guys want to go. But they really
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: drove me into the ground at points of that game.
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I said, they're a good team. But if if
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: you put the puck in the right place, you can
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: you can control some of the play. I really feel that.
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: You know, we feeled some of their some of their aggression,
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: and they get on you, they force some of those plays.
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: I give them a lot of credit. I said before
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: this started, they beat a hell of a team. They
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: are a hell of a team. Don't take them for granted.
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: Now if we if we don't realize it now, we're
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: never going to realize it.
• 50:25
  Speaker 9: Lindy, your team split the first two games in Buffalo.
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: How important is it to salvage a split here in Montreal?
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: What does your team have to do to split these
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: two games?
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: We really have to just just worry about one game,
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: you know, the next game again, you look at some
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: areas of the game improved. I thought our power play
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: did everything but score again on the next couple of
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: power plays. You know, you got to give their goaltender
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: a lot of a lot of credit. He made some
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: great saves, especially when we are trying to make it
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: four to three. That power play was inside the zone
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: and so that improved the discipline to not take as
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: many penalties. We'll get more of our players involved in
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: the game, so that's got improved too.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: There was Sabers head coach Lindy Roff on the Wild
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Bills Auto Repair post game as always video courtesy of
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: x dot Com, Slash Buffalo, Sabers MSG, and the National
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Hockey League. Jonathan, what were your takeaways from what Lindy
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: said there.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's been He's been very consistent
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: with his messaging all playoffs a long never too high
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: and never too low puck play. We've heard it since
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: basically day one of the seasons, since training camp. That
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: has been the focus of this team. And when they
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: do things the right way and when they execute to
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Lindy's vision, to the full coaching staff as vision, we
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: know what they're capable of and they just didn't quite
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: get there tonight. They didn't get there in game two?
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: Can they get there in game four? There's no reason
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: they can't. There isn't there's no reason that they can't
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: because there are so many little things that like if
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: they just clean them up, why not?
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: So again, I don't want to harp on the guy.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at the time on ice sheet. I know
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: he gave the reason of oh, you know, Zucker's not
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: playing on the power play anymore, so he's not getting
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: as much ice time or whatever. Look at his linemates
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: McLeod and Quinn, who I know. Mcloud's a good face
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: off guy. Quinn's the shooter, he's got potential for like that.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: But you know they had three minutes more ice timey
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: on even strength than Zucker did. So if Sucker's not trusted,
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: or if he can't get the work in, I just
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: I just wonder what moving Carrick up the lineup, moving
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Kozak back in, having some guys who can really start
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: the Sabers off well, especially in the offensive zone by
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: winning some face offs. So what that could do to
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: this lineup going forward. It's probably overthinking it. I'm probably
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: reinventing the wheel. But I will also point out the
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: ten game win streak was without Jason Zucker.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: I do also want to give another another point for
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Sabers fans think their teeth into. We know the black
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: aces that were recalled from the Rochester Americans. Could constant
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Hellnius be a guy that gets in the lineup. We
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: saw what happened when Noah Austlin got back in the lineup,
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: and I know he's played more NHL games than Hellnius has.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: But at this point, you know, as you mentioned, if
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: if they're not going to put Kozak back in the
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: lineup and they're going to try to take somebody out
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: just to kind of shake things up on that forward group.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: You know, Hellnius had a great season for the for
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: the Amerks. So is he a guy I've seen on
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: on X just kind of quickly on the the postgame
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: reaction that he's a guy that Sabers fans are clamoring for.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: But again, where do you put them? Do you put
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: them on the wing? Like what who do you split up?
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Again?
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a tough decision, but I think Lindy's
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: got to make a change here in game four somewhere.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I think something's got to change just
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: a little bit, you know, Like he's been so staunch
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: on keeping things the same when they're winning, but now
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: they've lost too in a row, so why not have
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: a shakeup, you know. I think a lot of people
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: point to UPL. I was quick to be like, maybe
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: UPL should start game three, and then I started to
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: really think about it. And Alex Line's a guy who
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: won ten games in a row on the road this year, right,
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: Like he is a road win merchant. So and I
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: don't really believe that had had the Sabers defensive structure
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: been stronger, I think the aggressive nature that Lion played
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: with tonight would have actually been to their benefit. But
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: they didn't give him the support to play the way
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: that he needed to and that led to a lot
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: of you a lot of goals, but it led to
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: the goals that we did see where maybe you want
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: to see us say from line or whatever. I just
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: there's work to be done. But there's no reason this
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: team can't do the work, which is a great spot
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: to be in.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: We saw them do it in Game one, right, They
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: had a great Game one against Montreal again, I knew
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Montreal would adjust coming off that seven game series against
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, you know, a gauntlet of a series against
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: another great team that Lindy mentioned in that post game too.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: You know, they beat a heck heck of a team.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: They are a heck of a team and the Sabers
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: can't take them lightly. Matthew Fairburn says that Lindy Ruffs
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: said the game had nothing to do with Alex Lyons,
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: so again it sounds like he'll be back in the
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: net for game four. Again, like you mentioned, is UPL
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: going to make that big of a difference. I don't know,
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: but they've had success in you know, riding the hot
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: hand and when somebody has an off game, they bring
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: in the other guy and they get a bounce back victory.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: But I guess we'll have to wait and see for Tuesday.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: On that we usually go do a player of the game.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: It's tough to pick a player of the game in
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: a six to two lost, Jonathan, But in honor of
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: the Niger Dentri Clinic creating Natro Smiles in the Niagara
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: region for over twenty five years, who's a player you
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: just want to give a shout out to tonight.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like we've talked a lot about Benson,
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: and we've talked a lot about We've talked a lot
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: about Down and their contributions on the front end. I
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: did mention that, even though the score sheet may not
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: reflect it, I thought that Dowling had a good game,
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: But I think I got to give some love to
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: steady Eddie. You know, in a game like this, when
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: you don't notice Mattia Samuelson, maybe that's a good thing.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: You know, he had a shot on net, he had
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: two blocks, He threw five hits tonight. Zero's across the
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: board in terms of goals, assists, points, and plus minus
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: twenty three minutes on ice. Sometimes you just need one
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: of your defensemen to step up and be a steady Eddie,
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: and Mattia Samuelson really did a good job of holding
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: things down and making sure that he wasn't given Montreal
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: any life. As much as I would have loved to
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: see him get on the score sheet, sometimes in a
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: game like this, that's exactly what you need from a
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: guy like Mattia Samison.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we know the offensive production Samilson had this
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: season was the best in his national Hockey League career.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: He had that big, big goal against Boston, but again
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: has been a little bit quiet on the score sheet since.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: But again a reliable guy playing alongside Dolling. I'm gonna
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: give it to Benson tonight. You could give it to
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: him on Mostnight's kind of an easy answer and easy
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: cop out, but he was a guy I noticed on
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: a lot he was screened Dobish for Dleen's goal. He
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: had a few chances beside the net as well. He
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: was causing havoc, he was in the scrums. Number six
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: is just a warrior out there and a guy that
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: loves to get in under the other team's skin. And
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: he's been the heartbeat of the Sabers team as of late,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: and and really you know, developing a you know, quite
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: the following here in Buffalo.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give it to him tonight.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: But it was nice see Dleen get on the score
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: sheeters and I see Thompson get on the score sheheet.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: So those are your top guys, but you're gonna need
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: to see bounce back games from guys like talk.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Guys like Jack Quinn needs to get going.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: We know he's a streaky scorer, but again, he's had
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of chances in the in the playoffs. Zucker,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: if he's in there, got to have a bounce back
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: from him, and then guys like McLeod have to have
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: bounce back.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Norris.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: We know he got taken off the top power play unit,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: but him with with Benson and Don can be a
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: very effective line as well.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: So there's a.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Lot that can be improved upon. Luckily, tonight's own only
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: one game. That's the other thing that you can take
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: away from a Jonathan is that they can wipe this
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: one away and if they come out with a victory
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, you know, it's all squared up and nobody
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: will even you know, think about this game three and
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: then they have to go and win two of the
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: next three. So I said this thing was gonna go seven,
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: and you know, it looks like if the Sabers can
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: have a bounce back, we're on a crash course for
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: possibly that.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: But it's just been fun to watch this so far.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: Just frustrating game tonight for Buffalo and they got a
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: little bit exposed with some of their defensive deficiencies. But yeah,
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: I just I think that Lindy will have the team
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: ready to go after two really tough games here.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the one thing that I wish
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: we saw in this series that we did see in
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: the Boston series is a longer break, a two day off.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: I really think two days off really helps this team.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: I know they're young, and I know they've got speed
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff, but I think you
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: look at Game one when they had a bit of
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: a break after the Boston series. You look at the
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: difference between the Game three and Game four of the
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: Boston series when there was that extended break between those
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: two games, and the Savers were able to really pile
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: on Boston in that game. For especially jump on them early.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: I think a little bit extra rest because seems to
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: go a long way to reset the legs of the
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: Sabers and they're not gonna get that. So ultimate challenge
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: is gonna be on Tuesday. How do they come out.
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: Can they get on the score sheet early like they
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: did tonight, and can they keep the ball rolling downhill
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: and really back Montreal into a corner and make them
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: have to chase the game like they ended up having
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: to chase tonight, especially through the second period.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: So final thought from you, Jonathan who would be the
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: guy you want to see in the lineup, and who
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: do you what do you want to see change to
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: go out a man?
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: Every time, I was so so gung ho to be like,
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: you gotta put up in you gotta get Kozak back
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: in there, you gotta get Zucker out of there, and
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: I just the more I think about it, I'm like,
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: it really comes down to your best guys being your
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: best guys. And I don't know who's battling through what
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: and dealing with what, but Tuck's got to shake it off.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: Tomarr's got to shake it off. We need to see
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: a little bit more. Jack Quinn has been so snake
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: bit like it's not even like I don't even really
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: have that much of a problem with his game because
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: I've watched that guy hit more posts like I think
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: I put a tweet out the other day I was like,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: if that guy keeps hitting posts like that, he's gonna
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: take my job at Hits FM, like as a radio DJ,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: because like I couldn't believe it, But yeah, honestly, you
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: just need your best guys to be your best guys.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: You can tweak the line up here and there, I
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: want to see the big boys be tough. I want
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: to see Stanley and Greenway start grabbing some guys, and
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: I want to see the best players be the best
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: players on the Sabers. And if that happens, there's no
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: reason that uh never mind seven, this could be a
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: Sabers winning six. And I still believe that.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they've got They've got every capability to
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: We saw how this team responds all season long, and
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: you expect them to respond because if they don't, then
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: this series could be over in Montreal's favor quicker than
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: they expect. So yeah, the Sabers, Uh, we'll see what
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: kind of lineup changes, if there are any, come Tuesday.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say I think constat Helnious gets in the lineup.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know where he's gonna play, but I just
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: have a I have a weird feeling that that the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: black as for the Sabers up from Rochester is going
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: to get an opportunity because I think Austlin would have
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: been a guy in the lineup right now if he
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: didn't get injured.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: So I think he's huge right now.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: I think I think Collenius is going to bring you
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: know a little bit of like youthful.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Youthfulness, no playoff experience. Get him in there.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: See what you got in a in a first round
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: pick and a guy that they're very high on.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Where, but that's my my, uh my, fin my, you know,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: gut feeling is that we see constant hellnious in game four.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: But that's gonna be it. Jonathan. Really appreciate you coming on.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Look forward to having you on going forward more on
• 1:01:47
