  Speaker 1: Austin broad E Elite Prospects to break down this Sabers
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: three to shootout victory over the arrival Toronto Maple Leafs,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: again improving their Atlantic Division lead, and we're going to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: discuss in generality, the home stand itself and as well
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: looking forward to the Western the Western road trip to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: come here in a little bit Austin before we get
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: into this game tonight. I know we haven't had you
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: on for a little bit here. You're on a family vacation.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Glad it all went well down there. You've got to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: catch one of the Sabers games as well down there,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: which I'm sure was pretty cool in Florida. But just
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: your general thoughts and what you've seen the last two
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: or three weeks.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think realistically, since the break ended,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's been virtually perfect. Right, the break was gonna slow
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: them down, They just ride right, rifled off an eight
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: game win streak. Probably should have beat Washington the other
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: night if not for you know, a bad thirty minutes
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and Lyndren playing really well. We're talking about what else
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: could you ask for, right, I mean playing well playing?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I hate to say it because there's nothing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: There is no substitute for playoff hockey, and we don't
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: know what playoff hockey is for this Buffalo Sabers team,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: but kind of basically playing playoff style hockey on a
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: regular basis here. You know, it's been it's been good,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: it's been fun. It's it's a weird thing now where
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: four points up in the Atlantic after tonight because actually
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: got some help on the out of town scoreboard. The
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Shark's beating the Lightning, Detroit's losing to Dallas right now
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: at Montreal also lost, like the only one behind them
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in the Atlantic really that one today was Ottawa and Boston,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and the aus win kind of almost negates the audible
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: win because they don't get any closer. It's been fun.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It's weird situation. I still haven't really been able to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: allow myself to fully grasp that the Sabers are likely
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: going to make the playoffs. I won't even let myself
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: say it right there right like they're going to make
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, but I'm not letting myself fully get there
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: yet until that exes beside their name. Yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And it's it's interesting, right because you don't want
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to get to ahead of yourself, but they have such
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a percentage to make the playoffs that it's it's almost
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion. But when it's been this long, you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: almost want to say, until you see that X beside
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: their name Sabers. Fans just always have that. I guess
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that that in the back of their head that this
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: is not over yet. So I know there's still you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: fourteen ish games left for them this season, but got
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to be pretty pleased with again, like the best record
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in the National Hockey League since December ninth. You know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: we've been coming on the show for what five years
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: now and wondering, you know, what, when is the team
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to turn it around? And that first
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: two or two and a half months of the season
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we were talking on the show is it's like, okay,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: here comes year fifteen, right, and we all know you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the flips, the switch flip there. But to be able
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to continuously play at this high level I think has
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: been the most impressive for this team. And obviously the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: team really hasn't changed other than a few depth moves
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: here and there. So they had it in that room
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and obviously they've just found a way to be able
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to know what they need to do in order to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: win games.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not even that. Yeah, like you said it there,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: like the fact that nothing has changed and the switch
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: flipped the way that it did, is is still something
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that I haven't really been able to grasp. Obviously, firing
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Kevin Adams was a big change for the culture of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the organization, but in terms of on ice talent and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: things like that, there's nothing. Like one could argue that
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the depth that they acquired is probably play Sam carric aside,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: because I think that is an actually huge, usually underrated
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: trade and like a really savvy pickup by Yarmau. But
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Stanley and Shen, I don't think we maybe Stanley but Shen,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone expected Sheen to play two games,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and kind of the way that he's played, there's a
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: reason why we don't expect him to play regularly. But
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, he is. But I mean, it's been great.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's you know, we're talking about a team now that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: should have their There are four points up on Tampa
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in the Atlantic with a game against Tampa, like they
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: realistically their goal should be closing this out and winning
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the Atlantic potentially maybe even first in the first and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the ease. Now, Carolina is a very good team, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Carolina is is what it is. But like, this is
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a team that really, like you said, we were waiting
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: for year fifteen, We were waiting for this Lindy limping
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to end his Sabers career to just how things have switched. Like, obviously,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: don't want to draw too much comparison to this team,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: because this team won the Stanley Cup, but they're giving
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: off very much the similar vibes to that twenty nineteen
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Blues team. They went on to win the Cup, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: they were really bad until they might have even been
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: worse longer than the Sabers. I don't think the Blues
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: really turned it around until the calendar flipped into the
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: new year that year. But the Sabers, like you said,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: since December ninth, have flipped the switch and it's been
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's crazy to think that even the ten
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: game win streak the Buffalo went on earlier, like you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year, early into January, that
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: didn't even get them comfortably in the playoffs. Like that
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: got them back into the hunt and made them feel
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: like a legit playoff team. But that ten game win
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: streak did so much to just pull them out of
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the hole that they were in. It's been a really
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: weird year in a good way. And like you said,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: fifteen games left and there's still a lot to be
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: playing for no longer talking about the playoffs, we can
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: start talking about seeding, potential division winning, Who do the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Sabers want to play in the playoffs. It's it's something
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that obviously fans, as fans, we haven't really been able
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to think about this in fifteen years, but as someone
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: like yourself doing the show and me helping you out
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: every once in a while, these are conversations we've never
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: even hypothetically been able to have.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you'd have told this is back in December
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that we'd be having this conversation, we'd probably tell you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that you were you were on some heavy medication. But
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: it's been again, just an incredible turnaround. And tonight specifically,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: like usually when the Leafs come in town, it's fifty
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to fifty or in the favor of the Leafs for
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the attendance. But I feel like from somebody that I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of people I heard at the game set,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it was almost like seventy thirty Buffalo, which is maybe
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a because the Leafs are you know, they've been playing
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: horrible and Matthews is out for the year, and two
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: because Buffalo is playing so well, So you add those
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: two in there, you know maybe was the best home
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: ice advantage that the Sabers have had in a game
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: against Toronto in many years.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was either halfway through the first
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: or early in the second. My old man shot me
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: a text, He's like, how does the crowd seem? And
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, it seems like a pretty pro Buffalo crowd,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: which is a weird thing to say. It's a home game,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: but we know how this is against Toronto, and I
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: was curious because even though the Sabers have been so
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: good lately, I'm not knocking on anyone who does this,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: but we do know that, you know, the Toronto games
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: are a big time game, usually for season ticket holders
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to maybe get some money towards the next year or
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: something like that. Like the Toronto games are a hot commodity.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: So I was just kind of always acting as these
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: guys probably sold those tickets pretty early on in the year,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: because the Toronto games are the ones where if you're
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: gonna sell a game or two as a season ticket holder,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I understand why you picked the Toronto game because of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the demand and how much cheaper it is for you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Toronto fans from southern Ontario to go over to Buffalo
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and it is to go to a game in Toronto,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: so I was really curious. And yeah, like you said,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it sounds weird to say, but after what we've been
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: through for the last fifteen years, to see a majority
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Sabers crowd against a Leaf against the Leafs in Buffalo,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: good thing. Like you said, I don't even think it
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: has really anything to do with Matthew's injury because that
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: was so recent. I think it's just the way the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: season has gone for the Leafs. If any Leaf fan
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: wants to reach out and you know, kind of ask
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: for advice on how to cope with what to do
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: when your star player gets taken out and no one
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: fights anything. Trust me, we know we dealt with this
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: literally a calendar year ago. Stephan Nason took out Tage
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Thompson and we were nobody did anything. And for Leaf fans,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: it's unfortunate because the only reason this is the story
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: is because your team stinks this year. If your team
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: was good, I don't think. I mean, it's Toronto, so
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: this probably would have been a big deal for them anyway.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: But it's it's my, my, my, how the tables have
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: turned on these two franchises in a calendar year, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: nothing bad against the Leafs, Like I hate the Leafs,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like we're
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: some and a'll be all high powered organization. We only
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: be good for a year. But it is crazy how
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the reputations of the two have really switched in the
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I still like if I'm looking back on predictions that
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: going into the year, like if you'd have told me
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that may ple Leice would be out of the playoffs
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the East and the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Sabers would be top of the Atlantic, like I wouldn't
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: have believed you.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I as crazy as it sounds. Even though they lost
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: marn Or, I still had the Leafs is number two
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: in the Atlantic at worst, and for whatever reason, it
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: just hasn't clicked for them. Losing Marniner. It clearly has
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a bigger impact on them than I think anyone would
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: have thought. Stolar Is just isn't the stolars that he
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: was last year. And I don't think the way he
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: played last year was sustainable because he's just hasn't been
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that type of goalie. Like it's the same type, almost
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the same type run that Alex linees on for the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Sabers this year. Like, if if we fast forward a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: year from now and you told me Alex Lion was
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: back to his career average, I'd be like, yeah, that
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: makes that sounds about right. And that's kind of what
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the Least did with Stolars and then just a lot
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: of things have gone wrong for them, and a lot
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of things have gone right for the Sabers since December,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: which is crazy to think. But today's game was again
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Joseph Wall made this game a lot closer than it
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: should have been. The Least had some really nice moments,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: you know when Shennon Stanley like they struggled, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: to break out of their own zone, and Toronto was
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: able to take advantage. But Lion for the most part,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: except for the two goals, like he was able to
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: keep him off it. But I feel like the Sabers
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: thoroughly dominated most of this game and Wall just kind
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: of made some pretty big saves and some dumb mistakes
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: of the Sabers, like a couple of times McLeod or
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Norris on those odd man rushes just shoot the buck,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: especially at Josh Norris. Think you're a goal scorer, dude,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: like you have a good shot, shoot the puck, but
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you know it is what it is. The Sabers still
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: got to win. Didn't love that it went to a shootout,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: but it's not something we're used to for the Sabers.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: The four to zero in the shootout this year, which
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: is pretty crazy because we're not used to the Sabers
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: being good this in the shoot like in general, but
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: we're definitely not used to Savers being good shoot It's
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: that when we had Robin Leonard. I think we didn't
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: win a shootout for like ten like the whole year
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: almost It's it's crazy, but you take the win tonight.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Like I said, if not for Wall, this game probably
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: looks a lot better. I feel like the last two
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: games haven't been the Sabers best showing, but realistically, when
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: you look at the last two games, they probably should
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: have won both and they were able to get a
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: big win tonight. Division wins are huge and we have
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: some big division games coming up, so take these while
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: we can.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's ten straight sellouts as well at Key
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Banks Center. It's been all incredible, the atmosphere and then
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the players have talked about it as well. I got
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of texts from leaf fans already saying that
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Sabers couldn't take or had to. I had to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: let them get a point in this game because obviously
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the Leafs want to finish bottom five, so the Bruins
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: don't get their first round pick. But sucks to be them,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I guess. But yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna value
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the least any more time on the show than they
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: need to. But we'll get forward here with our game
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: stats is always brought you by J and L Flooring.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: If you think can get a better deal anywhere else
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you don't know Jack, check them out at JANO Flooring
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: dot com or visit their Nagara Falls location and beginning
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a quality flooring project today. Jack's a big Sabers fan,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: so he's gonna be excited about I think he was
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: actually at the game tonight, so I showed out to him.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: So the game stats tonight, I just quickly want to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: want to roll over some of the notes I have, Austin,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: if you got any thoughts on that, I'll uh, I'll
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: kind of hit you up on it. So again the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: power goal again, he started the breakout. He was able
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to get the puck after Benson went behind the net,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: made like a one handed backhand pass. I don't know
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: if that was intentional or it just kind of came
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: off a stick right to Power and he was in
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the slot to bury it to make it one nothing
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: buffalo again for Owen Power, that's big. But again I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: don't know if that was necessarily a set play. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: know Kerrick entered the zone and went behind the net
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on the fore check and just kind of got the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: puck and flew it out front the Power who got
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the Savers off to a hot start there one nothing.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Power for the most part since the
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: break has been extremely good and the scoring has started
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: to show up. Which has kind of been the only
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: thing that has really been missing from Power this year
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: was he just hasn't been producing. But really since the break,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: he's taken another step up. He's starting to, you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: produce points now, which is what most people are going
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: to want from him to kind of validate how good
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: he's actually being. And just same with Benson. Right the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: one thing we said with Benson is when is the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: production going to come? We know he's a rat, we
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: know he's a really good passer, we know he's good
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: at winning puck battles despite his size. We know he's
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: good at getting under people's skin. We know how smart
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: of a player he is. But when are the points
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: going to start to come? And for these two to
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: kind of connect on that goal was huge. And I
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: know he wasn't tonight, but Benson has been with Krik
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: in Mountains time for the loss little while, which you
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: don't love seeing Benson on the fourth line, but just
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the fact that you add Benson to that fourth line
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the other the other night, he was able to produce
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: some good lucks there, and then even now tonight when
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: he's playing up in the lineup a little bit every
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: now and then, he's producing some looks. Wish he would
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: have buried that one at the end of the second period.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: That was a great play by Tage. Again, it was
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: a nice saved by Wall. You gotta give Wall credit there,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: but that would have been big for him. But Benson
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: in Power two that I think have been really impressive.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Benson had a couple bone headed mistakes in the Washington game,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: so to see him kind of rebound tonight was really
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: And then Lion made a big breakaway save on Kneelander
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: after Power got stripped at the opposing blue line. I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: know Alex Lion wasn't necessarily busy tonight, but he did
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: come up with some big saves when he needed to.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The Leafs tie the game. Luke Schen turned it over
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: trying to flip the puck out the coda. Joshua picked
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it up in the slot one one. They end up
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: fighting shortly after, I believe a shift to two later.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that was a rough one for Luke Shechen.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I almost wondered if he was still on the Leaf's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: payroll for that turnover. But again, just a tough one
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to take after the Sabers. They're gonna wan nothing lead
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and I know Sheen's been on the bad end of
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of Sabers criticism in his first couple of
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: games here, but definitely wasn't a good look there to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: give the least the tying goal.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's extremely weird. I mean, I'd love to
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: hear the explanation. I mean, if it's just basically to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: rest kessel Ringler because they kind of thought Toronto was
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: going to try some stuff tonight because of the way
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: that the Anaheim game went. I don't really know why
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Sheen was in the lineup. People can say what they
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: want about Logan Stanley. I think Logan Stanley in his
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: first game with kessel Ring and limited minutes was fine.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I have not like Logan Stanley at all the last
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: two games. But he's also played with Luke Shen in
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the last two games, So I don't know who's dragging
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: who down, but I'd have to wager Shen is dragging
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Stanley down more than Stanley's dragging Shen down. And Jets
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: fans will say it. Jets fans said the second we
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: acquired both, they're the worst pair in general. Our whole
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: defense was I don't think they're going to be a pair.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And then Lo and Behold Roughs played as a pair
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: back to back nights or back to back games. I
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: should say not back to back nights. But it's something
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: where when Luke Shen was acquired, I'm like, this is
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: a good veteran depth piece to have. They haven't used
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: him as a depth piece since they acquired him, though,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: which is not something that I am happy about. Nothing
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: else a player, He's had a nice long career here
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: and everything like that, but that was a rough look
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: for him. Yeah, really really rough.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Look, it was almost like Jacob Bryson esque. The last
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: couple of games he played in Buffalo were kind of rough.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: That Pittsburgh game. Again, he goes the other way in
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that Winnipeg trade. But yeah, I don't think everybody expected
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Luke Sheen to be playing in two of his first
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: three potential contests for Buffalo. The word I got was
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: kessel Ring was a healthy scratch. So again, it has
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with injury. Again, that was from Bill Hoppey,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: who covers the covers of Savers. Let me know about that.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So again, whether Rough made that determination as you mentioned,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: because he wanted a little bit more grit up front.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: You know, Shen did fight in this game as well, but.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Kessel Rings also fought too. That's why I mean, I
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily like it either. I'm just trying to just.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I wonder what that means when Timmins is healthy then,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: because we ought word today that he's back in seven
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to ten days, So is Timmins going to go in
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: for shen and instead of castle Rang And this will
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: obviously be for well into the future when it's time
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: for the offseason. But if Kesslering can't get into lineup,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: what the heck does that mean for his future? Here?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Put that gun. That's for a later day. Good thing.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Josh Stone's been playing well and has more path a J. P.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Turkin does.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Then uh later later on, I mentioned that big scrum
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: later in the period, and I know Norris got involved
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: stan Ley Shan Austlin, So again, just uh, you expect
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that against Toronto, especially with the way the least last
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: game ended with that whole Goddess and Matthew situation. You
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: knew that the Leafs were going to come out with
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: some sort of fight tonight, just to show that they
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: aren't They aren't cowards, even though they were getting criticized
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: a lot for nobody sticking up for Ustin Matthews in
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: that play. And yeah, I guess it was good that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: they they finally showed some some fight there for the Leafs.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: But going into the second period again Lander finds do
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: me the Sabers turn it over? You know, just I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: don't know what your thoughts on that second goal was
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: for Toronto, but you know that one was a was
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a tough one in my opinion.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's not again looking back at that, like
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: this game, like you said, Lion wasn't busy, his stats
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: aren't going to look good. Two goals on eighteen shots,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, like I feel
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: like on both goals he was hung out to drive
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: by his teammates, which you know me, I don't stick
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: up for goalies ever on this show or ever in general.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: So for me to say that is like pretty crazy.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: It's a rough look. It honestly was something that it
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: made me extremely worried because I thought this was again
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: just going to be one of those nights where at
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: times they looked dominant, but they just offensively weren't clicking.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Thankfully it didn't come back to bite them, but yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: that that goal had me extremely worried.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: When that went in, you got to get that putt
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: deep on the line change there, and then Byrom was
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: late coming back because he was trying to change and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he was late coming back, So we left dline on
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the two on one and Domi and Nilander connect there.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: But again it was on the forwards too because they
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: they turned the puck over at the opposite blue line.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: That puck just got to get deep and I'm sure
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Lindy Ruff will say that they just need to take
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the stupid stuff out, as he said before, and that's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: probably one of them. They had a couple of big
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: penalty kills in the middle of the game. Wool robed
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Alex Tuck on a rebound on a two on one
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: as well. As you mentioned, Wool was really good in
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: this game. The Sabers end up getting the game tied
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: late in the second Jack Quinn on the power play
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the second unit connects the first unit. I don't know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: but Austland on that nice little backhand pass as the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: penalty was almost expiring, finding Jack Quinn on the left
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: circle there. Quinn, after his first career hat trick and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: four point game, continues to elevate his game as of late.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I know you've been a critic of Jack Quinn's game,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and again he still makes some plays once a game
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: or so that make you scratch your head, but definitely
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: has been contributing as of late and more consistently for
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Buffalo and bigger situations.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent. I said before the Olympic break, Quinn
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: was a player I wanted to upgrade on. They upgraded
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: on him. It just happened to be Jack Quinn upgrading
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: himself like he deserves one hundred percent credit. He's been
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: so good lately that is huge for Buffal Glenn in
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the playoffs if he can continue this, because that line
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: the last two games, their metrics don't look good. I
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: think a lot of that has to do with the
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: fact that they are out there with Stanley and Chen
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: quite a bit, but that's again a different day. But
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that line for the most part, has been cooking lately.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: McLeod Zucker Quinn and Quinn is a big part of that.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: So that dude deserves full credit for how he's been playing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: If this keeps up, probably played his way into Buffalo's
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: long term future again because having a career year again
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: for the third straight season, he's been able to improve
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: his career production. But lately it's not just his production
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: that's looking good again. Like you said, still some boneheaded
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: mistakes and boneheaded like obviously can't blame him, but on
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: that two on one just comical to watch him fall down.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I feel for the kid, but he's playing so well
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that that thing becomes more of a footnote than anything.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: But he deserves full credit the way he's turned things
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: around and if he could keep this up, he's going
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: to be a dangerous, dangerous player down the stretch.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And then we get into the third period. Krebs had
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: a great chance in tight with about five minutes left,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: he got stopped. And then you do you mention that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: two on one that that McLoud and Quinn had late
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: in the game, and Quinn just kind of yard sale
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: trying to accept the pass for McLoud. You mentioned that
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: line has just been so good. I know people have
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: asked me, why's Josh Norris in the third line? Well,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you can't break up the top line and you can't
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: break up the second line, so unfortunately, Josh Norris, I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: think you know, with the way the center depth is
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: right now, obviously you might want to have McCloud as
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the number two center, But with that line, you know,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: playing so well, how are you going to break them
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: up right now? So I think that's that would be
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: my response there about the Josh Norris playing third line,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and then four on four, forty seconds left in the game,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: nothing happens, we go of three on three overtime. I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: don't know if there's anything you want to mention in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the three on three, but a lot of a lot
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: of just puck possession and taking the puck out of
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the zone and the stuff we usually see.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, overtime just felt boring and sloppy. Back to that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Josh Norris's point, I mean, look at Norris don'e in
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Oceland tonight. They're awesome. I know they didn't score, like
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: the goal came on the power play from Oceland and
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: everything like that, but doan North done. Oceland and Norris
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: have been very good too. I have no issue with
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the way the Savers have constructed their lines, but over yeah,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: overtime was three on three. Overtime is so annoying because
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: it's the most entertaining part of the game, but it
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: can also be the most boring thing. And tonight just
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: felt a couple of good chances here and there, obviously,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: but tonight just felt like you said, puck possession kinda again,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: not big for Toronto at all. The points don't matter
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: for them, but I think the Savers kind of knew
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: how big this this extra point could have been tonight,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and seemed like the fact that their mistakes cost them
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the two goals that got them to over time, it
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: felt like they didn't want to be the team to
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: make any huge mistakes. But when you play like that,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: you make mistakes. And you know, Toronto had some decent
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: chances in overtime, Buffalo had a couple two, but just
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: for the for all and all, it just felt like
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: no one was really pressing the issue to get that
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: game one in the three on three period and it
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: ended up going to a shootout. And I mean, like
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I said, the four and zero shootouts this year just
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: feels like Jack Quinn is almost automatic anytime he steps
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: on the ice in a shootout.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I know Norris had had a great chance in overtime
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: as well, and that was the play where Wall made
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the save and then he flipped the puck up to
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Easton Cowen. They're great rookie, you know, graduate of the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: London Knights in the Ohl. He went in on that breakaway.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: But great job by Norris to get back back. Yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: he didn't take a penalty, he was able to get
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: back clean and to me, that was like a game
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: saving play after Norris obviously had the opportunity himself. But
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you know, great awareness by Wall to find Cowen there
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and not let him have you know, a lean shot
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: on lion there just a great play by Norris, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: he's got the speed to be able to get back obviously.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a great play by Norris. I mean
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: high tailor back and overtime like that, And you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I think we all hold our collective breast anytime Josh
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Norris is involved with the collision. But for him to
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: be able to make that play again, it's easy to say.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Some people can just dog it back and overtime and
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: be like, I'm at the end of my shift. I
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: you know, blah blah blah. I think it was the
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: infamous Sam Ryan Hart thing. I don't think it was
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: an overtime with the infamous Sam Ryan Hart backcheck all
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: them years ago. That kind of led to the beginning
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: of the end for him here. That was a great
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: effort played by Norris. You gotta give him full props there.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't know the strategy and overtime,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: but it feels like the Sabers are again when they
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: get to overtime, are good for one of those chances
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: against where like they give up a breakaway and I
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: guess so you can say that it was a partial
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: breakaway because of the effort there by Norris, but like,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: if not for him, Cowen has a really really good
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: shot at ending the game, probably does end that game.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: So Norris could have ended the game, didn't and then
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: was able to help save it there. That's big. Those
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: are the types of plays that obviously don't show up
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: on the score sheet, but those are the types of
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: plays that you get from a player of Josh Norris's
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: caliber and the speed that he has, because I don't
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: know if many other forwards at the end of a
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: shift could make that play.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Nope, And I almost want to see like when guys
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: carry it out into the zone, I will almost be
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: like basketball, or if you take it back over a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: certain point the other team, like you just get called
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: for a whistle and things like that, because it's just
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: getting pretty ridiculous in my opinion, with the way teams
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: are just kind of ragging the puck in overtime. But
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: that's a discussion for another day, I guess if we
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: want to have that debate. But we got a couple
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: of fan comments here. The fact that we had to
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: go to a shootout to beat the Maple Lice worries
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: me from Chris Parker, Are you kidding me right now?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Says when these things change, it's like an iceber flipping,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: dramatic and seemingly all at once. Also Wolf stood on
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: his head, but Lyon was better and good game for
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: both teams from Roger Matthews. So thank you to the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: fan comments for that one. And then in the shootout,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you know, Jack Quinn gets the winner, Tuck gets the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: insurance marker, Lion makes all three saves. Got to be
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: pretty pleased with that again. You know, yes, you don't
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: want to go to a shootout to be a Matthews
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: list leafs, of course not. But the fact that they
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: get the two points. You know, I don't think we're
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: really complaining at this point.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, you'd obviously like that game to end
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: in regulation. But you got to give Joseph Wall credit, Like,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: if not for him, this game doesn't go to the shootout,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: like at five on five. In this game, for the
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: most part, Buffalo was in full control, but Wall made
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: a couple of really big saves to get Toronto a
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: point there. Like Unfortunately, just because they're season's over, players
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: like Wall are still going to do everything they can
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: to try and win games. And that's kind of what
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: we saw tonight. I have was it a perfect game
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: from the Sabers, No, but I don't have This was
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: a much much better showing than what we saw Thursday
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: night against the Washington Capitals. And I still think that,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: you know, lynd Gren stole two points so the other night,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Wall was able to earn Toronto a point tonight because
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I thought Wall was even better than the way Lynd
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Grin was. And yeah, you don't love to see it
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: go to a shootout, but at the end of the day,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: two points is two points onto the next one. Big
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: California trip coming up. This is where we are now.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: We're in the middle of a division race here. You
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: don't have to love how the game looked, but take
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: the two points and just go on to the next one,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: especially when this road trip is is pretty gettable. Vegas
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: isn't anything special. You know, Anaheim is not the best
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: San Jose and is obviously young. But you just saw
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: that Buffalo was able to kind of control play there
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: and then you have the Kings like it. This is
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: another big gettable trip where you want to be going
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: into it on a win. Don't care how you got
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: the win. To glad they got it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Yep, couldn't have said it better myself. And again they
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: got some important games coming up here, but they pick
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: up that victory here on home ice against the Leafs.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: We'll move forward here, actually before we move forward us
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if you wanted to mention anything about
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the first power play unit tonight, because I know, you know,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: but the Sabers power play has been very hit or
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: missed this year. The second unit ends up scoring their
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: their one goal tonight, so technically zero for three for
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the top unit. Anything you want to mention there. I
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: know it's been, you know, a topic that the Savers
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: have really tried to rectify and hasn't been necessarily fantastic.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: No, the power player this sucks. It's uninspiring. It's I
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: don't care what the numbers say. The numbers say it's
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: for the average you watch the power play, it's not
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: the average. They are able to score because of the
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: players that they have on there every now and then,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: and they're still you know, they're good for a great
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: play every year and there. But it is one of
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: those things where this is like a pretty easy, like
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: cliche to say this, but I think it's one hundred
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: percent true with the Savers. I am more confident when
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the second unit's on the ice, and that should not
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: happen when the top unit consists of the guys of
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: like Josh Norris, Josh Don Cage, Thompson Rasmostaalian like those
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: are four ubert to players, and then Zucker is a
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: really good power play player like you should have confidence
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: in that unit. It's not a talent issue. I don't
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: know what the heck it is. I assume it's coaching,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: but then the second unit is coached the exact same way.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Also books God of Times, so I don't know what
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: it is. But the first power play is not good.

  Speaker 1: fan polls to get to. But let's quickly do an
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: update here from the injury standpoint, and that'll be brought

• 33:05
  Speaker 1: missed that one game against Washington. The Sabers said that,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: you know, he was doubtful for that game, ends up
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: being ruled out. They lose to one. You know, maybe
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: give him a maintenance day there, because they've got they've
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: had so much depth right now to give Tuck one game.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: He did return tonight. Samuelson obviously didn't play. He was
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: doubtful coming in again day by day sort of maybe
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a maintenance thing. And Tanner Pearson recently acquired, got into
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: one game and now he's out with a lower body injury.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Colt Nellis will not be dressed taking a maintenance day.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Lucan In was the backup for Lion tonight, and then
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Connor Timmins returned to practice, which was great to see
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: for after he had a very significant injury and recovery.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: So hopefully you get to see him back in the
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: lineup soon. But I don't know if there's anything you
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: want to touch on from the injury report, Uh not
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Percent, but I will say this, uh, just reading from
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Fairburn kind of plays into Timmins here. Rough said, Zach
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Metsa was really good. Deserves to be in the lineup
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: for how well he's played. So that is something to
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: monitor going forward because I don't think any of us
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: thought Metsa would be in the lineup after the trade deadline,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: but to hear Ruff say that he deserves to be
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: in it might throw a little bit of wrench into things.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Especially and Tesla ring was healthy scratch too, Like that's obviously.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like one hundred percent. Mesa was awesome tonight
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: and really when he's in has been good. So it
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: is that is something to monitor going forward because I
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: think that again, we could talk about the game and
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: all the stuff, the injuries and things like that. I
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: think most people the last two games are just like please,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see Stanley and Shed anymore. And
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: hearing Russsey Metsa deserves to be in the lineup makes
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: me think that we're probably not going to see that pairing.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Anymore, right, And I know because Samuelson was out, you
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: know that's that's a regular spot as well.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Right, yep, Samison was out. I mean if he had
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: a maintenance day and was doubtful for today. If you're
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: following the Tuck timeline, I would stand to believe that
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: two day, three days from now, because I don't we
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: don't play until Tuesday. I would imagine Samuelson's back, and
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: like you said, he's He's clearly a regular in the lineup.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: So that would mean if Metsa deserves to be in,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: he's going in for shn Or Stanley and based off handedness,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: and again nothing against Luke Shen Stanley, I expect to
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: be in the lineup every night, something to monitor.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Like to me, Shen's like your eighth defenseman at this
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: point on a regular night with kessel Ring and.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Honestly ninth once Timmins is healthy, right.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: True, yeah, right, Which if they value Metsa too, like,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that's what me.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting something to definitely keep an eye
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: on going forward. But I'm also glad to hear Lindy
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Ruff say that because I do agree. I think Zach
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Metsa is kind of proven. He's the very least he's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: an NHL defenseman.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: He had a couple of opportunities a score tonight too.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, he's he's a very smooth skater. Him and
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Dollan were a lot of fun when they were on
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: the ice together.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Good stuff there. Let's move forward with our fan
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: polls tonight. They're gonna be brought to you by Wild
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Those out of Repair helping customers stay safe and confident
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: on the road in nagres Is twenty twelve in honor
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: of the late William Robert Hunter Austin Willa will cool.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: You go through the newcomer poll first, because this from
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: a few days ago, and then we've got two poles
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: about tonight's game. This first poll for you guys listening
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: in audio, I'll read it off. How much are you
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: looking forward to watching? The newcomer pole. This was my
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: sarcastic poll this week of Logan Stanley and Luke Shan
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: from the Jets possibly playing together again on the third
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: defensive pair, which they did end up playing tonight. This
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: was from a few days ago. Excited, indifferent, never want
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: to see again and Stanley but with another partner. Never
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: want to see again was seventy four point six percent excited.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I think that was some smartass responses on that one
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: at fourteen point three, and then Stanley with other partner
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: was eleven point one. Are you pretty much in that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: boat as well?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I'm in the Stanley with another partner. Never want to
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: see to me, that's those two are interchangeable because I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Stanley's going to play. Stanley's going to play. They traded
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: for him to play, you know. But yeah, I don't
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: want to see those twos to play together again. Like
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: in theory. No, not even in theory, because nothing against Lucien.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: It's just at this point in his career he's in
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: that negative. It's just by the nature of how his
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: career has progressed and how his game has kind of deteriorated.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: It's nothing against him. With Stanley, we know what he brings.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: We know he's gonna cost the Sabers at times because
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: he is uber aggressive, both in his physical play and
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: his desire to jump up into the rush and skate
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: the puck. Because he does have that element to his game. Ye,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: he's he's so aggressive and not the fastest a foot
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: that we know it's gonna cost him. But guess what,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: that's where a partner for a guy like Stanley will
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: help counteract that, either a partner who will allow him
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: to do that or a partner who will take the
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: puck away from him. And for Stanley, I don't know
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: a better partner. I didn't mind him and kessel Ring
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: in the first game. Was it perfect? No? But I
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: did not mind them. They did not really do anything
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: that I was like, this, this thing sucks. The second
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: he was out there with Shen not good. And we've
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: seen that for two games now.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Kessel Rings a lot more mobile than Luke Shen and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: that's just pretty self explanatory. I think if you shelter
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Stanley's minutes and put him with a guy that has
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of mobility, can he can be effective in
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: this lineups Metsa, there you go.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Worth a shot. I mean we got it with this point.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Anybody other than shn really Yeah, yeah, like every other
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Sabers defenseman I think is mobile enough to be able
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: to maybe Timmins, I don't know. I haven't seen him
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: play enough.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: As of especially especially coming off a broken knee.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, like again, we know the deficiencies in Stanley's game,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: but he brought an element to this team that Yarmo
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: wanted to add. With a big, bruising defenseman. But if
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: you shelter his minutes, put him with a good defenseman
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: that can move, not a thirty seven year old that
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: might be one of the slowest defensemen in the National
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Hockey League. Logan Stanley can be a productive defenseman in
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: this lineup. So hopefully that doesn't happen again. Maybe it
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: was just to give shen an opportunity to go up
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: against his old team. I have no idea, but regardless
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: of that, I think Stanley with other partner is is
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: pretty much the self explanatory answer on that one. So
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: we'll move on to the next fan pole here, pull
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: it up real quick homestand poll. So this next one is,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: how would you rate the Sabers five game homestand with
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: victories over Nashville, Tampa, Bay, San Jose, a shootout victory
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: over Toronto, and that tough loss to the Washington Capitals.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Very successful, somewhat successful, good and bad. Very successful seventy
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: five percent.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you are anything but very successful.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: You won every game but one. MC. Let's not get
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: too far ahead of ourselves here in Buffalo in sports
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: in general. You just said Nashville, Tampa, Bay, San Jose, Toronto.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: You went four and one on a five game homestand that's.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Very successful, right, and you almost got a point in
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: all five.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very successful.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I really wanted somebody to put good and bad. I
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: just I always put these these outlandish answers sometimes just
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: to see if somebody does bite on him. But yeah,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I think going four four and one, you could almost
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: say four to oh to one because what they were
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: a minute twenty away from getting a point against Washington.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Considering where the Sabers have been the last fourteen years,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: pretty successful home stand So that one's pretty self explanatory.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: And the last poll tonight Player of the game options
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: were Jack Quinn, Alex Lyon, Owen Power, Rasmus Dallen. Again,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: this poll is still ongoing, so uh, this was fifteen
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: minutes ago before we started that. I took the last
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: screenshot of it. Alex Lyon is winning at forty four
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: point one percent, Jack Quinn and Rasmus Dallin are tied
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: with twenty two point one, and Owen Power was last
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: at eleven point one. What are your thoughts on this one?
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Lion had some very key saves, so I get it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I'm a little surprised it's he's doubling up Jack Quinn
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: because you know, I mean, as simplistic as this sounds,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Jack Quinn's scoring and then getting the shootout game winner.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Thought it'd be a little bit closer. Again, I know
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: there's obviously other people taking votes, but Lyon was good.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was by far and away the
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: best player tonight, but Quinn or Lion, I think are
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: the proper answers. And then, you know, I feel like
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: we could put Dollying in any poll no matter how
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: right plays, and he's going to get a lot of
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: votes just because that's how good he's been.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I was trying to find a fourth person and he
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: had three key block shots.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel we could put Dollien on this pol
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: almost any game, no matter what his game looks like,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and he'll get votes. That's how good he's been.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: The poll at the live moment again not on here,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: it's thirty eight percent for Lion, twenty nine for Quinn,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: twenty five for Dolling. So it's changed a little bit
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: since I took the screen shot, but Lyon wins this
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: poll here. Jack Quinn, you know, coming off that four
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: point game, gets the shootout winner, gets that game tying goal.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: He would have been my vote tonight. Even Art sailed
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: on the two on one that was just hilarious, but
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: more hilarious that they won. If they would have lost,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: maybe we'd be looking back on that and saying, you know,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: what the hell happened there? But an Owen Power. I know,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: you know half the fan base wants this guy. You know,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything negative about the guys,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: you know they definitely don't like the guy. And then
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: that first goal.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: That first goal being oh in Power assisted by Zach Benson.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: You just know there were people in South Buffalo just
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: folming at the mouth, like livid.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: And then when he turned it over for the least
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: second goal, I figured the pitchforks were going to be
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: back out again.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm sure they were.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: So there's it for our fan polls. Thank you to
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: everybody contributing on those. Again, you can give us a
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: follow on Exit Saber Samantics for all of our fan poles.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: You can get get connected with our shows as well. Austin.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Let's as we kind of move forward here, we know
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: where they are in the standings. We know, you know
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: how important these last fifteen games or so are I know,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Beck Mallenstein broke a statistic as well. I don't know
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: if you had any quick thoughts on that. I had
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: this as well, with the fastest skating speed this season
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: twenty four point nine to four. I can't believe McDavid's
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: not first, let alone second. But you know, Blenstein on
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: that really nice goal the other night. Obviously get gets
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: on this poll. But I think Malenstein as of late,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: just in general his play, I think he's brought a lot. Obviously,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: we know what he brings on the gritty side, He's fought,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: but he's he's also you know, generating some offensive opportunities
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: on that fourth line. I think, you know, considering what
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: they gave up for him a few years ago, when
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: we were pretty critical of Kevin Adams were giving up
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: a second round pick for this guy. I think this
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: season especially, he's been able to say, okay, you know
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: what he might be worth what they gave up for him,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: you know, at least in some certain aspects. But I
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: think Mallenstein's played well lately in that that line in general.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: When Kerk got acquired as well.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that was gonna be my broad point is
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Molenstein's been really good this year. But the fourth line
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: in general since the Kerrick acquisition, whether it's been Benson
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: on that wing or Crebs on that wing or honestly,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: even though it was one game, I like Pearson on
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: that fourth line too. It just seems like Kerrick is
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: gonna seamlessly fit in and make that fourth line relevant,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: but like relevant in the way where they're gonna play
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the way the fourth line should be playing. And nothing
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: against Crebs, who I love Peyton credits, but you know,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: as much as Peyton Krebs has that dog and gritting
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: this to his game, he knows he wants to try
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: and give more because he is a little bit more skilled.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: When you have Krick and Maleenstein on that line, you
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: know what you're gonna get and they're gonna go out
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: and do it every single night. And the fact that
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: it's led to offense. I mean, Carrick's got points in
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: three of five games since joining the Sabers, Like that's huge.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Maleainstein scored that beautiful goal against San Jose. He's producing,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: he's a threat. It's coming together, and this is a
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: fourth line that you can feel confident going into a
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: playoff series with Like, I know I can put Sam Kerrick,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Beck Mallenstein on the ice with anybody and I know
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: they're gonna, you know, get the job done. That's huge
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: in a playoff series. Again, I know it's weird to
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: be talking about that because we don't really know what
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: that's like for Buffalo, but it's something that that Kerrick
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: acquisition sneaky, sneaky good by Yarmo at least.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Early on Any quick thoughts on this graphic A sports
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: A head up. It's now thirty six and two since
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: December ninth.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just mean, it's it's crazy. The fact that
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: I pick a number here, it's all surprising. I'll highlight
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: the goal with that ding just to give lucat In
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: and line In their flowers because they deserve it. The
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: fact that they've been this good for this long on
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: a stretch is spectacular. And they've had their works, you
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like obviously lucan In gave up
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: seven in the Tampa Bay game, not great. Line gave
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: up three in the Sharks game, and then two to one,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: sixteen or eighteen shots tonight. But they're just steady. They're
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: steady night In and night out, you can put either
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: one in the net. No, you're gonna get a somewhat
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: quality performance, if not super good performance. That's a debate
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I think we'll have to have later. But it night
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: by night, it might shift to who we think is
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: going to start Game one for the Sabers, which is
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: a good problem to have until it's time to make
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: that decision.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Never thought we'd be talking about that on this show
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: this year, but again, look at at what they've done
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: since the uh, since the Olympic break, you know, only
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: one loss, you know, pretty solid there. Got to got
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: to be pretty pleased with how everything's gone. Again, Yes,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't have wanted to go to a shootout tonight
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: against the least, but it is what it is. They
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: still got the two points. We're really, you know, picking
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: out small straws here to try to find negatives of
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: their game as of late. But you know, any quick
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: thoughts on sort of the stretch after the Olympics, I
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: think it's pretty self explanatory.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Yep. And like you said, I mean, are we gonna nitpick?
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: But as the team becomes better and becomes a really
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: good NHL team, we're gonna have to nitpick because that's
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: kind of what you do, right, Like, when things go wrong,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: you got to look for what the heck's going on.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: You're gonna look at the smaller stuff. You're gonna look at, Oh,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: they went to a shootout against Toronto. At the end
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: of the day, you still beat them and you're dominated play.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: But that's what happens when you're you know, a good team.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: We're so used to all the negatives and finding it
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: harder to find the positives that we're now going to
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: have to pick on the smaller things. And as annoying
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: as it might be because it's the first year, we
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: kind of just want to sit back and enjoy it.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: We're still sports fans. We're still going to pick up
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: the negatives. And if you wanted to talk, Yeah, the
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: last two games haven't maybe haven't been their best, but
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: when you're you know, when you're eight and one in
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: your last nine, no, nine and one in your last ten.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Because if they would have be Washington, tonight would have
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: been their tenth in a row. So yeah, I mean,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: of course we're gonna find something to pick at because
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: that's what we do. But going into this West Coast trip,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: it's big. I mean, we're we're probably still a little
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: too early to officially clinch, but we got it. We're
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: at a point now where we feel like two or
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: three more wins and we're at a total that is
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: in even if they're not they don't have the X.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Like we win, we get to ninety six points, you've
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: got to feel like, yeah, okay, that's enough.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: And I know the East is still really close right now,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: but you know they're they're sort of pulling away from
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: some of these teams.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And if you look at the standings the way
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: that tonight is gone, we're looking at a team that
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: is Boston and Detroit or the wildcard teams are at
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: eighty Columbus, the first team out is at seventy nine.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: But Columbus won't factor in because they're in the metro
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: right like they'll they'll catch teams in the metro before
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: they catch like before, like the say, like the Sabers
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: would have to get passed by four teams to fall into.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: The playoffs, they'd have to fall into a wild card spot.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: And even that with a we play Boston, Detroit and
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Ottawa on the other side.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Of this break and Larkin's out for two weeks for Detroit.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: So and cop as well.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Yep, those are the top two centers out for Detroit,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: So you gotta like the Sabers outlook. I know Tampa's
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: coming in here in April, and I'm pretty sure that
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: game is going to be sold out after the way
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: the last one ended game of the year, So it.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Could be a game for the division essentially literally again,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: but like this time, like for real, for real.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Right that was almost like the appetizer for what could
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: possibly be a game if there was ever a divisional winner,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: take all for the division game, that would be it
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: right there. That one's going to be an incredible one
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: to watch. And again the standings, Yes, the Sabers got
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: helped out tonight with Tampa losing in regulation to Carolina.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: That was a big one. They had tied it to
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: too in Carolina. I think they won it four to
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong on that one, but.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, four to two for them, and Montreal lost to
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Santa say four to as well. So both teams behind
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: you losing? Oh sure good? Because yeah, quietly, I mean
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Savers have sixty seven games played like they're up there
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: in terms of I mean everyone's going to catch you anyway.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: But the more help you get, the more of those
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: games played don't necessarily matter, especially with the way Obviously
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: tonight doesn't matter because we wanted to shootout, but usually
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: were the Buffalo wins in regulation. They're most in the conference,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: second most in the league. I think only Colorado has more.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: I'd have to see where Dallas is that I haven't
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: checked in a while, But you not only have points
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: on everyone, but you have the tie break on everyone.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're one of only four teams in
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the league that have forty wins. So it's a pretty
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: elite company that they're in right now, with teams like
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Carolina and Colorado and Dallas, as you mentioned, just the
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: best of the best right there. Since we don't have
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: any postgame audio tonight, we're gonna have a post game
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: quote graphic from Rasmus Dolan's comment earlier today, and that's
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: brought to you by the Niagradentric Clinic, creating natural smiles
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: in the Nagara region for over twenty five years. This
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: one made the rounds today on social medias and I
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: just want to get your quick thoughts on it. I
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: know you retweeted it as well, Doleens quote on you know,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: just going out with his teammates, what's what's been what's
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: helped with the brotherhood, And they just go out and
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: drink beers, said Rasmus Doling.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: Always always good option. Can't go wrong going out with
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: the guys and having a couple of pints.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: But it's good that they like each other, you know
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And I think it was Jeff Merrick
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: that put out a quote tweet on this that said
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: a few years ago, the Bruins made it mandatory that
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: everybody had to go out and have a drink with
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: their teammate. It's right after the game, and whether they
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: wanted to stay for more than one that was, you know,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: up to them, but they had to at least stay
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: for one drink with their teammates just to kind of
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: have that bond. I guess I don't know if the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Sabers are implement implementing anything like that, but obviously they
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: enjoy their company and it's a it's a close room
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: in there, and that's you know, leading to success on
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: the ice one hundred percent.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not going to sit here and be like,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: oh my god, they're all best friends. But the fact
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: that you have a group that is close goes a
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: long way, especially in years where it was awful to
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: probably come to the rink every day because of how
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: the season have gone. For the turnaround to be this quick,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: having that closeness in that bond probably makes this better
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: and easier to keep. Like because we've all been saying, Okay,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: when's the other shore going to drop one s buffal
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: gonna hit the wall. Well, maybe they're not hitting the
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: wall because of how close they are and how good
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: this is feeling for them. So they're all able to
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: keep each other honest and pick each other up when
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: needed and kind of hold each other accountable because they
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: have that close knit relationship, something we're not used to
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: seeing in Buffalo. Obviously, culture and the savers have kind
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: of not really been two words that you want to
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: talk about because normally it's how bad the culture is.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe we're starting to see the birth of a positive
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: culture for Buffalo because the team is not only playing well,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: but you can tell that these guys enjoy playing Whether
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: they like each other on or off the ice, they
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: enjoy playing hockey together, which is something that was fair
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: to question last year, was do these guys even enjoy
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: playing hockey with each other.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: And you can just see by the response. You can
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: just see the response right, like, how many times have
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: we seen over the last four or five games Tage
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: gets hit, Dalene gets hit and the smallest guys on
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the ice crabs Benson, whoever it is, they go in there.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Norris the guy that has so many injury problems, and
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: tonight when he got in that scrum, I was like,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: oh my god, here are going to go again. But
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: you like to see that as well. Everybody sticks up
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: for everybody, and that's sort of you know what they're
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: having the problem up the QW there Whire Toronto. Like
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: if to me, if Tage Thompson or Rasmus Dalen go
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: down in that same play right now, the entire like
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: line out there right now is jumping goudas And there's
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: no like if ans or butts about it.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: No, it's nds or butts. Like I said, it's crazy
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: how things change in under a year or just over
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: a year since the Nation incident. But that's basically what
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: happens when not only are you guys close, but the
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: season is going well, Like you're excited, you want to
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: be there. You're willing to put yourself on the line
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: because you're having success, and that's huge. It's a cliche
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: and it's easy to say, but winning cures all and
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: the Savers are winning this year, so it makes all
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: the other stuff that much easier.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't said it any better myself. So before
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: we wrap up the show, Austin, is there anything you
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: want to mention about the upcoming the road trip here?
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's going to be tough going out
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: to California right now, it's uh, you know, we'll see
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: what the lineup looks like, if if all these guys
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: are going to be back or not, if Timms makes
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: the trip out west. You know what those depairs are
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: going to look like. If Samison's going to be back
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: in hopefully its commitment the two or three day maintenance
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: by the time they play again on Tuesday will be
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: He'll be available to play, whether kessel Ring gets back
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: in the lineup or not. After being a healthy scratch tonight.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be an interesting Western road trip here
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: late in the season, and it's uh, Sabers after dark.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think has ever been so meaningful.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Timms thing. I mean, I think Ruff said
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: seven to ten days, So that'd be interesting because seven
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: days from now would put us at the Kings game. Yep.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Ten days would obviously be when we return home, but
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: it'll be notable if he's on the trip. I mean, look,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: you got four games, find a way to go to
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: one and one, and I think that's a successful trip.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: But these games aren't gettable. Like I've watched the Ducks
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: the last two games, like when they played Toronto and
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: then earlier today when they played in Ottawa. That's a
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: gettable game. Like they're they're a playoff team, but I
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: watched them play and like they're The Sabers are a
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: better team the Kings. They're fighting for their playoff last
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: so they're gonna be desperate. San Jose also fighting for
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: their playoff lives. Vegas is Vegas, like it every game matters.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: Now there's like we don't have to talk about extra
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: motivation anymore with the Sabers because every game matters. You're
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: chasing the division. Go have finished this trip above five hundred,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: come home, get ready for business in those divisional games,
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: because like I said, you have Boston, Detroit and Ottawa
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: after this break, not in a row obviously, but looking
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: at the schedule, everyone can see what I mean there.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got Vegas, San Jose, La and Anaheim out west,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: and then you come home. You get Boston Detroit back
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: to back divisional games. Seattle comes in, the Islanders come
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: into town, you go to Ottawa for a short trip,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: and then you're in Washington. So you know, again, this
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: stretch right here, you know, whether they come out with
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: the X beside their name or not, this is going
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: to define their season. I feel like if they're able
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: to close the deal.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the s trip will go a long way to
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: we talked about the divisional Well, you have a good
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: trip here. It puts you in a really prime spot
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: to make that division of reality, because that's that's the goal. Now,
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: if you're a Savers player, if you're a Sabers fan,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: win the division.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: There you go. Austin will leave you with final thought, says, obviously,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I've I've missed Tavignyon. I would have loved to have
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: your thoughts for the trade deadline, obviously with the Savers
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: making a few moves there. But you know, it's just
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: a it's a spot that we haven't been able to
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: talk about on the show in five years, and it's, uh,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited for what's gonna come down the stretch
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: with us in the show and just the team in general.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: It's just it feels like another life, you know, uplifting
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: right now. And again, you don't want to get too
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: ahead of yourselves here, but considering you know, we've always
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: heard that they want to play meaningful games in March. Well,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: these are the most meaningful games they played in March
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: since probably the twenty ten to twenty eleven season. I
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: know that they had that season where they missed the
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: playoffs by one point, but to me, like this team
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: just feels different. And every night going in the expecting
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: them to win is definitely a mindset that I think
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: has you know, just just come across that room and
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: really you know, galvanated their their thoughts in there.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's the expectation that not that they're going
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: to win every night, but every night is like this team,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: this is what every game is now a winnable game
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: for the Savers. It's that's the reality of what this
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: team has been able to put themselves in is we're
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: not looking at the schedule for Oh, this one's this
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: one's gettable, this one will be tough. All the games
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: are winnable, whether it's a tough matchup or not. Like
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: the Sabers win tough matchups. Now, like you said, it's
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: it's been a long time coming. It feels good to
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: not only care about the Sabers but to care about
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: NHL hockey again, because that's kind of been something that
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: has been a struggle for me the last little while,
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Like I haven't really been motivated to watch hockey because
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: why would I. The team that I cheer for does
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: not factor in. Well, now they do, so now hockey
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: is NHL Hockey is now something that I care about.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: It's it's the domino effect of the Sabers being good,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: and it feels good.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Galvin eight is not a word, by the way, it's galvanized.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: But it's eleven o'clock and it's eleven o'clock at night.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: It's eleven o'clock at night.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I could be making.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Up we're making up words here at Semantics.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: We could be out here for for Saint Patrick's Day,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: but you know what, we're here doing the show for
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: you guys. So you got to give us credit for that.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: So that'll that'll galvinate the listener brutal.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: But last last quote or last comment is how bad
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: is Tage's hand? I know he got he was favoring
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: it a little bit there. I don't think it's anything
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: too serious, hopefully not, because we know we missed a
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: little bit last year with that.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen much, but I guess we'll find it.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully not. He's got three days to uh that
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: hand thing.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: I mean he he was the first shooter in the
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: shootout tonight, was he not?
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Just shook it off.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: Listen, We're we're now approaching every game is super important.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Unless I'm pretty sure unless the hands falling off, Tage
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: is going to play until that excess.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Beside the name, Yeah, I think he could be missing
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: a finger and he'd be like, all right, I'm playing right. Oh.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. But that's gonna be it.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Austin appreciate you coming back back on the show. I've
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: missed you on here, and it's gonna be a fun
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: final stretch here. Look forward to to coming on more
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: and doing more live reactions like after tonight. It's definitely
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be a fun, fun playoff push here.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean I evid inspire the fact that
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: we just did an hour long postgame episode obviously one
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: the team is exciting to talk about too. It's been
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: a while, so looking forward to it having some good
• 59:26
