• 1:36
  Speaker 1: six points up on Tampa Bay four top spot in
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the Atlantic Division that will be remains to be seen,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: but regardless of that, the Sabers will hold at least
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a four point lead in the division going forward. We're
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: gonna hear from head coach Lindy Ruff're gonna go over
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the scoring summary, the highlights, and we'll get connected with
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you guys and the fans out there what you thought
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of tonight's game.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So with that said, as.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Always, we're gonna start off with our game stats tonight,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: which are brought to you by Janel Flooring.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: If you think you get a better deal anywhere.
• 2:05

  Speaker 1: to begin your quality flooring project today. Shots on goal
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: thirty two to twenty seven in favor of the Sabers.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: They actually outshot a team for once, even though that
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem to hurt them right now, but they do
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: outshoot the Kings in this game thirteen to six.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: In the first.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: They down thirteen to seven in the second and have
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the advantage twelve to six in the third period, which
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: was a thirty two to twenty seven score in their favor.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: The faceoff percentage the Kings dominated, and Lindy Ruff will
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit later in his postgame.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: He was not happy with the Sabers being able to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: win draws tonight.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It was very disappointed there.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Sixty five point five percent for the Kings in the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: faceoff dot Buffalo only nineteen oh fifty five for a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: thirty four point five percent on the dot. Buffalo was
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: one for one on the power play tonight, King go
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: one for three, Sabers two for three on the penalty kill.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: That's good sign there with the power play getting on
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the board again. It was a lucky bounce, but again,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: when you're playing well, sometimes you get those bounces, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Rasmustalin did, which we'll talk about a little later. Block
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: shots sixteen fifteen in favor of Buffalo, giveaways eleven to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: ten in favor of the Kings or I guess the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it's not a good thing for them to lead in it,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: but eleven ten in that department, and then the Sabers
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: had seven takeaways to the Kings four hits twenty seven
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: fifteen in favor of the Kings, but a hit by
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the Kings led to a Sabers goal, so that that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: really doesn't mean anything either. So those are our game
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: stats tonight. Uko pek Lukening got the start for the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Sabers in this game tonight, going back and forth with
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Alex Lyon. Colton Ellis was the backup tonight, so Lion
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: gets the gets scratched there with the Sabers still running
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: with that three goalie rotation that has seemed to somehow
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: play out well in their favor all season long. But
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: with that said, we'll get further with our scoring summary tonight,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: which is brought to you by the Nagar Employment Health
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Center helping people find work in the Nagaragient since nineteen
• 4:06

  Speaker 1: at EHC DOTN dot C to fund your next work opportunity.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Today and the Kings got off to a one nothing
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: lead in this game. Power play goal from our Temmy
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Paneren his twenty fourth goal the season for Monse Copaitar
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and Adrian Campe that was to give the Kings a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: one nothing lead ten forty eight, but midway through the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: first period, and that's where we stood until almost midway
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: through the well. I guess one one fourth way through
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the second period, but the Kings led in this game
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: for the first twenty four in ish minutes of this game.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Our Temmy Paneren gets the power play goal to get
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the Kings on the board, and the Sabers started to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: pick things up in the second period as they've done
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: all season long, one of the best, if not the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: best second period teams in all the national hockey being
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: able to make adjustments, and it was Tage Thompson getting
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the Sabers on the board first with his goal. That
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: was big for the time for the Sabers to be
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: able to get this game all tied up.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Crabs, let's it go, Thompson. Tage Thompson, it's one.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: One Peyton Crabs and Mattia Samoson get the assists on that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Tage Thompson marker at the four h five mark, he's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: able to get the puck with the Anton Forresburg got
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to start for the Kings, not Darcy Kemper. He's able
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to shovel it in with with Forrestburg down office pad
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and is able to shovel that thing in right on
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the left left doorstep there, right on the goal line.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So good, good job for Tage Thompson getting his team
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: leading thirty six goal of the season to get that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: game tied. And after two periods of play it was
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a one to one hockey game. So the Kings, obviously
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: as the home team here, they've gone to overtime almost
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: as much as anybody else in the National Hockey League.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: They probably thought, after forty minutes being tied one one
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: with the Sabers team, Okay, here we go, maybe we'll
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: be able to sneak at least a point out here.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But it's Sam Carrick, and wow, what a run this
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: guy has been on.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I just got to pull up a tweet because I
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: saw it from Jordan L.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Barber, Sam Carrick's fifth goal in eight games as a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Saber again. Just wow, what a what an acquisition he's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: been for Yarmokika line and a guy that when you
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: saw the return when when they traded the pretty decent
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: mid round pick to the Rangers, he thought, Okay, what's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the deal here? This guy's a fourth line center. But
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you know he's been him and Beck Mallenstein have been
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: incredible with their their contributions on the fourth line, not
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: just doing the heavy work but also contributing on the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: score sheet. And Sam Carrick, Wow, what more can you say?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Is fifth goal in eight games as a Saber. But
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: this was all set up from Zach Benson taking a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: hit to make a play run down hard.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Then the Savers take two to one league.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Zach Benson cut down the right wing and got absolutely
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: hammered on the half wall by Joel Edmunds, but again
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he was able to get the puck down to Sam
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Kerrick who cuts down the right wing and is able
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to pot that thing in over top of Anton Forstbury,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: He's kind of did a nice little cut towards the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: net there being able to pick the puck up off
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of Benson getting absolutely rocked and the most well earned
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I guess assist he's gonna get in a long time
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: for Zach Benson. Just one of the Sabers most noticeable
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: players tonight and he's able to get his twenty fourth
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: assist of the season. Zach Metsa also started to breakout,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: getting it up to Zak Benson. He gets the secondary
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: assystem to play, but Sam Carrick's ninth goal of the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: season gets the Sabers the lead at two to one
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: there at the eleven to twelve mark of the third period.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Midway through the third they get that game in their favor,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: that they've been trailing the entirety of it, or haven't
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: been leading, I should say, on that backhand shot from
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Sam Carrick again, just a really nice play cutting towards
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the net, picking up that loose puck. Zach Benson goes
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to show how tough tough his nails, that kid is
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't let that size differential bother him and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: he's able to, you know, perfectly make a make a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: play there and help the Sabers get their first lead
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of the game, and they would hold on to it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Let's get later about him. Just over a minute later,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: actually it was Rasmus Dallen taking a shot on the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: power play because it was actually challenged. That Karat goal
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: was challenged by the Kings for a possible offside. It
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was ruled that it was not offside, so that means
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: that Buffalo goes to the power play for la getting
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the penalty for delay of game on the failed challenge
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and Rasmus Dallin kind of cuts down to the hash
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: marks on the right side, takes a shot. It hits
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: off of a defender in front an LA Kings player.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It looks like Jason Zuker might might have touched it,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: but he does not. He was animated about it that
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it was Doleen's goal. So Zucker standing in front of
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the net where he usually does on the power play
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and causing some havoc, but goes off of two LA
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Kings players in past Anton forsbrigs.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you gotta be lucky to be good. Dallein again saved,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Dorkberg gets close and the Sabers a power.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Play good here they lead Drew one or good to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: be lucky as well. Rasmus Dahalen's fifteenth goal the season.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: They take the assists away on it because it went
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: off a couple of Kings players on the way in.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: He gets the power play goal there for the Sabers,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and again that first unit has been very criticized for
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: their lack of production. But I guess on that play,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you gotta you just gotta accept that sometimes a bouncing.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Here here and there will go in.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And Dleen has been playing really good hockey lately for
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the Sabers and gets rewarded there with a with a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: bank shot off of of of a Kings player and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: into the nets. So Dahleen is able to kind of
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: get that insurance marker for the Sabers. And then later
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in the game, speaking of getting rewarded by the hockey guys,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: as Dahalen was there, Zach Benson for that earlier play
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that he made on the the Sam carricle where he
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: got rocked by Edmondson, gets the empty net goal. Josh
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Norris gets it up to him, Beck Malenstein the secondary assist,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: but Zach Benson's eighth goal of the year and the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: empty net winsome.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Time for Norris, empty net the game and Benson scores
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the Sack Benson Benson four.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: To one, Buffalo for to one winners over the Los
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Angeles Kings on this night, a great road victory for
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the Sabers again, just continue to amaze a lot of
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the Sabers fans out there. Thirteen game road points streak,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: twelve wins in the last thirteen games since the break,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: ninety four points, once again tied to top the conference
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: standings with the Carolina Hurricanes has been incredible to watch.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And for the Sabers, you know it. It was a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: full team effort tonight. You know Sam Carricks and Zach
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Benson's Uko Pek Lucan in in the net stopping twenty
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: six to twenty seven. You know Tage Thompson chipping in.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So they were getting contributions from everybody up and down
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the lineup big blocks tonight for Zach Metza with two,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Logan's Stanley with two, Mattia Samson with a pair of blocks.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: You also had Josh Norris with a pair of blocks
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: as well, Quinn Mallenstein, Auslin talk Don, all these guys,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Sam Carrick, Jack Quinn all chipping in with blocks in
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this game for the Sabers when the Kings were pressing.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So a really top to bottom team effort tonight. And
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it's going to be hard to pick a player of
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the game, but we'll get to that a little bit later.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: But again, the Sabers win this one by a four
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to one. Final Let's get to Sabers head coach Lindy
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Ruff with his postgame comments, as always brought to you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: by Wild Bills out of Repair, helping customers stay safe
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and confident on the road in Niagarsins twenty twelve in
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: honor of the late William Robert Hunter. Here is Lindy
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Ruff following his team's four to one victory on the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: road and their three third win in a row on
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: this western road trip.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: What did change?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Were you doing well? I thought their compete was better
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: than ours early on. I thought the first ten minutes,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: the first period, they won more of the fifty to fifties.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: The faceoff circle, we were terrible, you know it, So
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: now we're chasing the puck around. But I thought they
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: came after us as hard as they could, and they
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: had the edge for a while. And we talked about
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: teams being ready for enough. I'm not getting taken for
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: granted the way we've been playing. There's teams that want
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: to try and knock us off. We've got to be
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: ready for it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So how did you put it? Though? As they said,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you caused a lot of.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Competed harder, got the pucks quicker. I thought we got
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: over pucks and not a real uh hard answer to that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: It's just you got to get into into people. When
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: you do that, you can win the battle.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: It seemed like, oh, empower is really on his game
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: with the breakouts and the puck possession.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: What do you like about his game?
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I thought he moved it well when he went back
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: for pucks. I thought he was able at times to
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: skate away. I thought sometimes physically use his size to
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: get away from people. But I thought a lot of
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: his reads on whether to move it quick or by
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: just a little bit of time, we're really good. You
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: talked about cart going to the net with authority, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: we've seen that this year from Allenstein had some great goals.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Those guys aren't there to be offensive players. So what
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: does it say when your fourth line is thinking about
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: getting chances and putting puck in the net.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that line has done a great job.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I mean you look at Carrick's got five goals with
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: us now and the plays they made, even the you
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: know Mel's big block with the with the goalie out
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: which allowed you know, Benson to get his goal. We're
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: getting a great effort from all. You know, all four
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: lines where you know, if there's a line, if there's
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: a line that's struggling, maybe uh, you know, another line
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: can pick up the slack.

  Speaker 1: There was Sabers head coach Lindy Ruff on the Wild
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Bills out of repair postgame, really happy with the way
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Sam Kerra competed tonight. He thought they were terrible on
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the faceoff dot But again we're picking at small straws
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: here for the Sabers being able to come away with
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: another victory here twelve in their last thirteen and again, yes,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the face offs sixty five percent to thirty four not
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: good enough if you're the Sabers, But for them to
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: be able to get their first lead midway through the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: third period, essentially, that was big, big for the team's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: confidence and just showing that how much resiliency this team
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: has even when they're down, you know, even into the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: third period, this team is not out of it. And
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: they continue to show why they've been the best team
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: in the National Highey League since the beginning of January
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: on on quite the streak here for for the Buffalo Sabers.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And it's again is.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I keep saying on this I'm running out of words
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to kind of describe what we've been seeing from this team.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It's just been so so fun to watch and if
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you're if you're a fan of the Sabers, wow, you
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: got to be.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: You got to be pretty excited about with the the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: potential of this team is.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And now it's now thirty three six and two, well,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: thirty two six and two, excuse me, best forty games
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: stretch in the NHL since the Red Wings in nineteen
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: ninety five ninety six. They've been on a historic run
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: right now that we haven't seen, you know, in basically
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: thirty years. So congratulations as Sabers on that mark. It's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: been unbelievable to see what the Sabers have been able
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to do over their last forty games. It's it's been fun.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: It's been fun to cover this team again since since
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: that late November stretch there, I thought we were going
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: into another sort of rebuild type of season and yeah,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the Sabers just decided yet so much for that. But
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: regardless of that, we're gonna get connected with our fans
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: as always, brought to you by the Niagra dentri Clinic.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Creating natural smiles in the Niagara region for over twenty
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: five years. Our poll tonight was who was the Buffalo
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Sabers best player in their four to one road victory
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: tonight in Los Angeles. Make sure to give us a
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: follow on X that save where semantics get in on
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: our fan polls for our shows.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Ucopec Lucanan in the net.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Forward Sam Carrick, forward Zach Benson, or defenseman Rasmus Dalen.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: At the time of this recording, Ukopec Lucan is leading
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: this poll at fifty three point eight percent with his
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: great performer stuff in twenty seven to twenty eight. Sam
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Carrick with his goal there is thirty eight point five percent.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Zak Benson's actually at zero. I would expect him to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: be a lot more. He would be my player of
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the Game tonight for the sacrifices he made in this
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: game and in all aspects. And Rasmus Dallen seven point
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: seven percent just continues to make the polls every single
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: night because he plays such good hockey. But we're gonna
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: give it to Lucan in tonight Player the Game Honoro
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: mention to Sam Krrick. My personal is going to go
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to Zach Benson just for the type of play that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: he made that led to the Sabers go ahead goal.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: There that that's a play that again it will show
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: up on the score sheet because he got the assist
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: on it, but even if he didn't, you know, just
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: a warrior play for Zach Benson to be able to
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: sacrifice himself for the better mine of the team and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the buy and the belief that these guys have in
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: each other. They just really enjoy each other and it's
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: really you know, that saborhood brotherhood that they keep talking
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: about is alive and well within that room. So with
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that said, again, hopefully you guys enjoyed another After the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Horn Sports cast here a little bit earlier of an
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: addition because it was a four o'clock local start in
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles, so we were able to get this one
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: out a little bit too quicker than we were the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: other night when it was a normal start in San Jose,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: which was you know, ten o'clock local time, ten thirty
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: here in the Eastern time zone. So able to get
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: this one out for you. Th Thompson in the building
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: was named first Star with his one goal. Sam Carrick
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: was second Star. Lucan In was third star, but I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go the other way around. I think
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Benson, lucan In, Carrick would be my
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: three stars in this in this hockey game, the road ahead.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Buffalo plays in Anaheim tomorrow to close out the four
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: game roady. We'll see if they can sweep it, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: we'll see them back on home ice on a Wednesday
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: against the Boston Bruins. Going to be a fun one
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: there as always again. Buffalo ninety four points in the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Atlantic Division, leading that now with thirty seven or excuse me,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: forty regular regulation and overtime wins. They improve their away
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: record on the year to twenty two eleven and three.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: They're twelve their last thirteen. They've won four straight. They're
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: nine to one in their last ten. What else can
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you say other than point percentage. They are first place
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in the Atlantic Division with Carolina. So it's I look
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: at these standings every single day when I record these shows,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and it keeps amazing me.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Ten points up.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: On Detroit for the last playoff spot, eleven if you
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: count the New York Islanders, who are at the time
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: recording is playing in Montreal. Which is a big game
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: within the standings there as well. But with that said,
