• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Lindy Ruff as well as defenseman bowem Byrom on the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: show as well with their postgame thoughts. So Austin, as
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: we get into this, we had a couple hours now
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to digest that game this afternoon, a nice two pm
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: game in Boston at TD Gardens, and it sounded like
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a library there tonight if you're a Bruins fan, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: if you were a Sabers fan, and there were a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: fair amount of them in the building, which showed out
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to them. That made the trip to Boston definitely was
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: an exciting one for Buffalo and now they're on the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: brink of having the opportunity to move into Round two
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: on home ice on Tuesday.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, obviously you have to close this out,
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: but tonight's this afternoon's game was the epitome of kind
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: of what we've reiterated all on the playoff preview, on
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: every postgame we've done so far, and it's just quite simply,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: the Sabers are the better five on five team, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: tonight was no different. It was the second period. Honestly,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Boston felt like they were sort of tipping the scales
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: a little bit, but because it was for nothing, it
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: was kind of hard to stress that much over it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: But all all any stress that could have crept into
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: your brain was just completely eliminated by the way the
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Sabers played that third period, because the first and third
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: period was just all Buffalo the entire time, and it
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: honestly was from the jump the first the second, the
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: puck drop, that just buffalo was on them and they
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: did not let up. They were relentless on their fore check,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: the same exact formula to how Game one went, but
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: they beat Swayman early, and they beat Swayman often, which
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: just didn't happen in Game one.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I think the Blade Crew could have beaten that Bruins
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: team in.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: That first period with the way that they looked.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I know a buddy showed up to him who was
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: at the game Bruins fan, and.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Let's just say he was not pleased without it went.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: But you know, I was not expecting them to come
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: out with a first period like that, to be able
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: to have such a dominating performance. I know Lindy Ruff
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in the off day sort of talked about that game too.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: He didn't he didn't really want to come out and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: say how bad that they played in the most but
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: after they responted with that Game three victory, he went
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: back to Game two and said, we really just didn't
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: play well in that game and just didn't didn't feel
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: like they deserve to win. So it seems like ever
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: since that happened, the Sabers have been a different team,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and they've been able to score obviously in the first period,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: which was nice instead of having to wait to score
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: into the third period like they had been in the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: first previous couple of games. But just to me, a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: perfect first period on the road that you would want.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And Lindy Ruff as well, we'll hear from him later
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on the post game, So that might have been the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: best first period they played all season, which is something
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to say because they've played a lot of good ones
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in the second half.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it just it felt different the way
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: this game started. Like, like I said, from puck drop,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: they were in on swimming early. Often there was I
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: think it was like a minute or two in that
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: scrum when Tuck and then they thought they scored, but
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: the net came off and there's like a pile in
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: front of the net. They were in his grill early
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: and often they were four checking again, using their speed,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: using their four check, not letting Boston draw them into
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: the bull crap that we know Boston likes to pull.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Even later in the game when Boston tried to kind
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: of sort of get it going, Buffalo kind of for
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: the most part, just walked away from it. It was
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: this wasn't a game where the Bruins could use their
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: antics to their advantage. This was a game where Buffalo said,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: we're gonna play our game, We're gonna do what we
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: do and nothing you're gonna like, you're just not gonna
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: be able to stop us. And they were right, it was.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: There was nothing the Bruins were gonna do tonight aside
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: from Swaymen having one of us like a Swayman asque game,
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: and that didn't happen, and the second that Swaymen got beat.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, obviously it was four nothing after the first period,
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: but I think you know, once the Dome goal went in,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: which hilariously is not a power play goal, even though
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: it was as the power play expired, once that one
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: went in, you're like, holy, they got two by Swaymen
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: in the in the first period. Like that is a
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: huge relief for the Sabers because not only did they
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: beat them early, but they gave themselves a cushion. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: like we've been saying, like I've been saying, is the
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Sabers score in bunches, and that first period was just
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: nothing but bunches. And what it takes a lot to
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: overcome a four gold deficit. The Sabers were in a
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: four gold deficit in Game two and it's deflating to
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: be down that early. So I know Boston had some
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: pushback in that second period, but there was nothing that
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: they were gonna do that was gonna stop them. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: when Lyon was tested in that second period, he was
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: up to the task.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Only the Toronto map Leaves can blow that big of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a lead in Boston, so well we'll let them do that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: But sorry, and just a shot there.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: But I mean I was talking to myself saying, if
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Swayman didn't start this game, it could have been seven
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: or eight nothing at the end of the first period.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, like legitimately, as crazy as it sounds,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I know, he gave up four goals, but like Swaymen,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: it could like you said, it could have been more.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Swaveen made some key saves in that first period, Like
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: I say, he's been their best player. No one from Boston,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: like I said, I know, there was push back in
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: the second period, but no one from Boston really showed up,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: no one was threatening. I think it was two shots
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: by the end of the first period. Maybe they were
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: credited with a third. I'm not sure, but it was
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: it was no more than three. I think it was
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: two plowed four goals. Like yeah, just a demoralizing first
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: period for the Bruins. And honestly, from a Bruins standpoint,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I'm a little shocked that Swayman was in there at
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: the second period, not because of anything bad that Swayman did,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: but I don't know. I would have pulled him, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: they didn't. And I don't know what he was John
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: he was John at someone as he got pulled. I
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: don't know what that was about. I don't know if
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: he was mad he got pulled, orf he was mad
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: that he got pulled earlier, if he was just straight
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: up yelling at the team in front of him, like hey,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: help me out here, because there was no help Buffalo.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Like I said, they were on them early and often
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: in that first period, and that set the tone. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: it basically just again like I said, when this game's
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: at five on five, the Bruins are not on the
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Sabers level.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: I think so. I think you're right.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I think Swayman was trying to wake his team up
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: as he was leaving the ice because they they just
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: did not show up to play in that first period,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and then the Sabers were all over him. We're not
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: gonna sit here and talk about the Bruins, but I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: did find it interesting that Hagens was not in the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: lineup today and they put Rikle in the lineup.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Didn't work.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought that was I thought that was a
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: that was a tip, like that was a move that
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: actually probably helped the Sabers out. Because I don't know. Again,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: I'm not talking about the Bruins Hagens may have not
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: produced anything, but Hagens was an annoying player and he
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: was doing his job properly, so I thought that move
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: actually made them worse. But yeah, this was just as
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: demoralizing as Game two was for Buffalo. I think this
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: game was even doublely demoralizing for the Bruins because there
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: was no fight back from the Bruins. Say what you want.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I know it was the last six minutes of the
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: game of Game two, but Buffalo showed some fight back.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Brunes didn't show anything. The closest thing they got to
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: fight back was Zora being a scub bag and trying
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: to take Dolly's head off for no reason. Not for
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: no reason, we know, Dolleds. It gets under your skin.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: But like at that point in the game, good for you, Bro.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And for for Boston, Like that was a pivotal game.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Now you go down three to one, Now you go
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: on the road. You've got to win two road games
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and a home game in a row. That's gonna be
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: tough to do. But yeah, I just I expected a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: lot more from that Bruins team. And I don't know
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: if it was just the Sabers being that good or
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the Bruins being that bad or a combination of both,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: but that first period was was pretty much all she wrote.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Let's let's quickly touch on the lineup here, Austin and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: as I try to switch things around here, just give
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: me one second.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: So you know, Norris is still out of the lineup
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: for Buffalo, Kozak was in there. We're still without Carrick
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: as well. No changes on the defensive pairs as well.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Timmins has been the sixth defenseman in all four of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the games. Still, No, we haven't seen Mets, so we
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: haven't seen Castle Ring. We haven't seen Sheen, probably won't
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: see him ever. But Lion got to start again after
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the after the big win in Game three as well.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Anything catch your eye there about any of the lineup?
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: No, I mean, the lineup being the exact same is
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: the way it should be. There's no reason to even
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: try and ticker with it. I mean, we'll obviously we'll
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: get into it when we talk about Lenny Rush's postgame
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Glad to hear that seems like co Zach and Zucker
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: are fine, because obviously one of those two going out
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: would me a lineup change has to happen. But I
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: just think the way this lineup is constructed, adding in
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: a guy like Kozak and Oaceland nothing against Norris had Done,
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: because Norris and Done are also pretty quick skaters, but
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: like these are just two quicker, more relentless guys on
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: the fore check. And that's basically been the formula for
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: the Sabers all series is when their fore check is
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: going and they're not trying to, you know, run you
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: through the boards. Not that's the same. They're not physical,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: because they are physical, but when they're not purposely trying
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: to run you through the boards, when they're just on
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: you at their forecheck and they're just like that Bensing
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: goal was perfect, perfect example what I'm talking about. Doan
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: forces a turnover because he's just hounding the puck carrier.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Benson grabs the puck, takes it to net scores. That's
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: the mentality that they have and the way this lineup
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: is constructed. Nothing again, nothing against Norris and Done. I
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: think Oceland Kozak are better suited to play that style
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: than those two are. We'll have to see what happens
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: when Norris is health because, like we talked about after
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: the postgame, rough did say, day to day. We don't
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: know if it's a typical when your rough day to
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: day or if it's a real day to day. But
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: if it truly is day to day, Norris is coming
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: back in and I don't know, things can happen. But
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: through two games, there's no reason to break up that
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Benson Oaceland Don't line because yet again they were your
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: most effective line today.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Are you gonna put Josh Norris on the fourth line?
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, the other option is crabs, But look at
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: we talked about who's a breakout player who's gonna cement
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: themselves as a reputation player in this playoffs and not
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: one of us obviously mentioned Peyton Krabbs. The dude has
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: five points in four games.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: And he scored the opening goal tonight and got what
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: I'm saying.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: It's not like because my go to was always just
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: put him at the fourth line center. That's the role
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: he's comfortable with. I'm one of his biggest supporters. No
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: way I could have seen him being an elite playoff
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: performer and that's what he's been through four games. Yeah,
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: But I honestly, it's a question of where do you
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: put Norris when he's back, because I don't think you
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: can break that line up.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Either six defenseman Josh Norris, but like he's a perfect
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: compliment to Thompson and Tuck right like on that top line,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Like he he's perfect, Like you think of guys like
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Benson and Doan that sort of do that the same
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: type of job that Krebs does, right, and he gets
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: rewarded tonight with the opening goal, which we'll get into.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: But it's like it's a great problem to have if
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Norris is back, But at the same time, it's like,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: then then you don't really want to change up any
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: of the three lines because they've they've all been been good,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and even the fourth line, you know, with Kozak in
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: there and Done moved in for one game as well.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: You know, if Krrick was healthy, he'd be the fourth
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: line center. So there's a lot of jockeying for position
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: right now in that forward group. But again, it's a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: good problem to have other than saying, you know what,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: guy from Rochester are gonna have to try to throw
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: into a playoff game like this, like the Sabers, they're
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: in a good problem to have.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: I think, yeah, And like I said, like the last
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: two games this lineup is not a single forward in
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: this group has really stuck out as like a negative.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, the fourth line kind of got their teeth
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: caved in a little bit today, But what do you
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: expect right like you're up for nothing. You kind of
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: just that second period, it felt like everyone on the
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Sabers kind of just went into shell mode. But they
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: quickly turned it around. So I mean, there is probably
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: that is probably the tweak is we're moving one of
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: those players when Norris is healthy. But as for right now,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: like you said, these this is a good problem to
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: have when you're talking about where it is your eight
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: million dollar projected second line center fit into the lineup
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: when when he's healthy.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: The Sabers power play is something that continues to despite
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: it being approaches. Is they've got zero goals on seventeen
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: power play attempts in the fourteen game or in the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: four games, excuse me, but they have fifteen goals. So
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I know that there was a change today. We saw
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Jack Quinn get moved to the second lineup of the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: power play. We saw as Oaceland Get moved up to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the top unit as the other defenseman with Dahline on
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: that unit with the four forwards, it still continues to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: be over. I know technically the second unit scored right
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: as the power play came to an end with Josh done,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but again, what do you see in there? And and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: again the second the second unit looked better to me. Again,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and we've been saying that unfortunately for a while.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I saw a tweet two days ago from twenty
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: three Sabers on Twitter, and this tweet blew my mind.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: This is about the Sabers power play in the month
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: of April. They are second in power play expected goals
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: for that means they're generating the second best in terms
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: of quality on the power play, which just does not compute.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: But they are in the month of April and they're over. Yeah,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: they're over. And I like the idea of adding Ocelan
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: to this top line. Like I said, McLeod to Doan
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: was a great pass by McLeod. It's hilarious that that
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: doesn't count as a power play goal just to continue
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: that street because it was basically as soon as the
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: power play expired. Much like Game three, I thought there
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: were bright spots like it definitely felt like it was
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: a little bit better, but it's just those like we
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: say it all the time when it's bad, it looks
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: like pee wee level hockey, Like it's the same thing. So,
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, just it feels like one of those things
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: where until they break through, it's we're probably gonna deal
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: with us, and then once they break through, maybe the
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: one a little bit of a tear. Quite funny that
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: the only goal they gave up was a shorthanded goal.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: It's like the power play. The power play was on
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: the ice when they got scored on, which is just
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: so Sabers.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And poor Alex Lyon.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Ryan Miller, the Ryan Miller shut out today.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and Lindy Ruff was not happy about that
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: they weren't able to kind of close that o for
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: him in the final minute. Just you know, you're they're
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: short handed to five minute power play. Yeah, the Bruins
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: have mailed it in and you can't even finish off
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: with the shutout.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: But yeah, if you're gonna nitpick and me upset about something,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: I don't blame Lindy Like at that point, Lion probably
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: earned the shutout, especially the way he's played his two starts.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Pretty wild that that's what we're complaining about. Is uh
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: broken in the last forty second. But let's move forward
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: here quickly go over the game stats tonight, brought to
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you by J and L Flooring. If you can get
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: a better deal anywhere else you don't know Jack, check
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: them out at channel flooring dot com or visit their
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Nagra Falls location to being a quality flooring project. Today,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: let's quickly go over the scoring summary. Shots on NET
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: thirty five twenty four in favor of the Sabers in
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that first period. It was it was pretty wild the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Sabers being able to have I think the shot attempts.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: At one point we're twenty one to four in favor
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: of Buffalo.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: The shots were eleven to two when the when the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Bruins called their time out, and it was three nothing
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: at that point. So just just craziness from the Sabers
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: on that end. And they're still they were zero of
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: thirty six shots in the first period coming in. They
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: got four on nineteen in the first period today, So
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of great stuff there as
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: far as the shots there. You can see the giveaways,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the takeaways, everything there, anything that sticks out to you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: there from from your always favorite the game stats.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean at the first period, like I said,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: was just straight up dominant. Like if you look natural
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Statric has the five on five shot attempts at thirty
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: two four for the Sabers and thirteen thirteen against, which
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: is a seventy one percent shot share or shot attempt share,
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: and I should say, which is just crazy. Like again,
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: aside from Game two, it felt like the Sabers started
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: strong in three of the four games and they were
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: just not rewarded in the first you know, games one
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: and three, and tonight they were rewarded four times. So
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: it kind of felt like they hit it like tonight
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: more than ever. They earned it because that first period
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: was arguably one of the best periods of hockey they
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: played in a long time. And for it to be
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: you know, nothing like Tuck ended up getting on the
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: scoreboard page, had a good game, but for all the
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: goal scorers to be you know, a guy like Krebs,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Done Benson, a Byron who's been on a tear and
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: then now I's teining like those guys scoring five and
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: the six goals like that is huge. And if it's
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: something that continues to happen throughout the rest of this
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: playoff run, like, the Sabers are gonna be a really
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: hard team to play against, because we've said it before.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: They're getting these with Tage Thompson only scored in the
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: first game. You know, Tucks had a couple of goals
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: here and there, but for the larger like, for the
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: most part, it's been their their depth helping them out here,
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: and that's the formula for a successful playoff run.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: And they went into a shell.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: As you kind of mentioned that second period they got
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a shot ten four, but other than that they pretty
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: much dominated the game. They scored two goals in the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: third period as well. So you know, you can look
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: at the face off percentage. It went to Boston. They
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: won forty of sixty draws. But we know the Sabers
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: have been a bad face off team minus Sam Carrick
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: all season long, so it's nothing new. And despite that,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and despite the power play being what it is, they're
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: still winning games. So again we can nippick little things
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: here and there, but we'll move forward to the scoring summary.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by the Nagra Remployment Help Center helping
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: people find work in the Naga region nineteen eighty three.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Checkout throughout the day job board at EHC dot and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: DOTC to find your next work opportunity today. And yeah,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: as we mentioned on the open, Peyton Crabs gets the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: opening goal four to seventeen mark at the first period.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: On the turnover again, the Sabers create a takeaway on
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the Bruins turnover with the puck on their stick, they're
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: able to get that near the blue line. Thompson tuck
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: creates that finds Thompson and he goes in on the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: two on one and you want taatee Thompson shooting more
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: times than not in that scenario, but he passes off
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to Peyton Crabs and makes no mistake to beat Jeremy Swayman.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: And what a start on the road for the Sabers
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: to get the lead.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess said, just an all round great play
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: like that's the that just goes to show you the
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: four check, right, the four check put pressure on the
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: boss' team. They forced the turnover. Crabs gets to puck
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: on the slot and you know, getting nitpicky for a
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: team that loves to overpass. And the guy who gets
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: this puck on the stick and missault like that. Peyton
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Creb is not known as a shooter There's just a
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: great shot, a great finish by him, and he's, like
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: I said, he's he's been on a tear these playoffs.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: Kind of of like I said, Tage hasn't scored since
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: the second game, but he's had an impact each and
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: every game, saying with Tuck, Tuck's been getting on the
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: score sheet though. But just a great way for the
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: first line to kind of set the tone and open
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: up with the scoring here, because it it was it
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: had a snowball effect, like the way that they were
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: playing early on truly did have a snowball effect. And
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: I think the first three shifts by that line, there
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: was quality chances on every single time that line stepped
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: on the ice. So all around, great goal and just
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: goes to show that the Sabers playing their style. You know,
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: people called it river hockey, whatever the heck do you
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: want to call it. That's the way they play all year.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: We use our four check, We forced you into crappy
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: spots and we take the punk away from you and
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: then we finish. Granted, Peyton Crebs is the guy I
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: expect to score from the slot there, but that's what
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the Sabers do.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I think that was the sixth goal already in the series,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: where the Bruins had the puck on their stick and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the Sabers created the turnover, and we're able to get
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a goal when the Bruins were trying to break out
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: like it's been. It's been a relentless fore check by
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the Sabers and the Bruns haven't been able to handle it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: No, they honestly can't. And I we said in our
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: playoff preview, I thought that's five on five. The Savers
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: were the better team. I didn't think it was gonna
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: be as lopsided as it has been so far this
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: series in terms of five on five. But just shows
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: right here why don't feel like the Bruns are a
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: good team. I'm not saying anything bad about the Bruns
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: at all. This series as far from over, but it
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: goes to show why the Bruns were a wild card
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: team compared to the Sabers who were the division winner.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And then Josh Stone just continues to be a dog.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Took a massive hit open ice, looked like but made
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: sure he was okay. Luckily he was just shook it
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: up a little bit, goes back out there, hits Tanner,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Janeau knocks him over and then as we mentioned earlier,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the second unit comes through late on the power play
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: as it expired. You know, great pass from the from
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the wall from from a cloud finding Josh Doone going
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: right to the net, going hard into the crease and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: redirects that one in past Jeremy Swayman to make a
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: two nothing buffalo and wow, like just just a relentless
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: shift from Josh Stone. And we've seen that all season
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: long from him. But that's why he's such a fan
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: favorite with not only the fan base, but also the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: guys on that bench and.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: On that goal. You know, like two guys don't getting
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: the goal and the Cloud getting getting a point there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: I think we're two guys that absolutely have earned it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: The way they played these playoffs. I think, you know,
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: Doanes had some doones, had some highs and lows. This year.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Mostly it's been good, but there has been there's been
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: a couple of stretches where he was quiet there. But
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: to see that type of shift that just perfectly encapsulate
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: what Doan is and why the Sabers love him and
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: why fans have become so endeared by him because he
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: is just as Zach Benson says, a dog on a
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: bone and for him get to the front of the net.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: You know that was Charlie knackeboy covering him too at
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: the front of the net, and he's able to tip
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: that puck by Swayon, which is huge. And McLeod getting
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: the assist, I think is big because he's earned it.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: He's been really effective in these playoffs. He's been he's
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: one of Buffalo's best setup guys, one of the best
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: peer passers. So two guys that earned it there. And
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: like I said, when you go from it being a
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: team that is not scored in the first period to
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: getting two, that's huge. That goal probably would have been
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: nice if it was two seconds earlier and it actually
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: counted as a power play goal, get that proverbial monkey
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: off the back, but it wasn't. But honestly, it's funnier
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: this way, and it's just couldn't have happened. Like you said,
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: the way that mackaboy kind of took done out for
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Doan to be able to come back and get that
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: tip with macaboy, all of them kind of poetic in
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: a way.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean for McLoud you had talked about
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: him being one of the sabers better players through the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: first three games, he just hadn't shown up on the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: score sheet. But that was a perfect encapsulation of what
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: he can do and why the second unit's been looked
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a lot better because number seventy one has been the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: center on that unit. So when you've got Josh Done
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and Zach Benson as the wingers on that power play man,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: those guys are going to be pesky around the net,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: and Josh Done was the recipient of that one to
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: make it two nothing Buffalo. And then, just when you
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: thought it couldn't get any better or worse if you're
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: a Burns fan, Benson and doan on the Ford check.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Shocker there, Benson goes to four hand backhand and the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: puck goes five hole on Swayman to make it three
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to nothing, but Buffalo. Boston calls their timeout and at
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: that point shots are eleven to two Buffalo and they're
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: up three to nothing.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Speaking of relentless four checking, speaking of dogs on a bone,
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: this has kind of been the theory with Benson and Done.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Not theory. This has been the theme with Benson and
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Don all year long. This is what they do. Don't
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: relentless backtrack four check because it was in the offensive zone,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: but prevents Boston from breaking out because he's hounding the
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: puck carrier. Benson picks up the puck, takes it right
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: to the front of the net. He gets by a
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: sway man. Honestly, I think again the broadcast made it
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: seem more questionable than it was. But when Stern called
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: the time out, like the broadcast on teen, he kind
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: of made it seem like he was thinking, oh, do
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: we got to take a look at this challenge here?
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: There was no need that was just straight up, we're
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: getting our teeth kicked in and I need to call
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: it time out. And honestly, like I said, how Doan
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: and McLeod deserved a reward? Benson is one hundred percent
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: of a guy who also deserves a reward for you know,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: he has been that pain in the ass all series long.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: He can tell he's already under the skin of the Bruins.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: And for him to get that goal and also be like, hey,
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: not only am I going to agitate you, I'm going
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: to bury you by putting the puck in the back
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: of the net. Huge moment for Benson and one of
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: the like Doan Benson should absolutely be a fan favorite.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: I think he's more becoming a fan favorite. I think
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: it took some time for people to come around on
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: him because he's so small and the production wasn't there.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: He's the type of kid that is built for the
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: playoffs with his play style, and pairing him up with
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: a winger like Josh Dolt, who plays in an exact
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: similar style is just a match made in heaven. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: for them to combine on that goal and for both
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: of them to have the games that they had today.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Love to see that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Zach Benson's easily becoming my favorite Buffalo Saber, not just
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: because he's a shorter player. Got to love those short
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: guys that have no fear, and not just because he
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: has the same last name as my favorite NASCAR driver.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: He's been fantastic and maybe that number change from nine
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to six some more jerseys.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: I still hate that, but the kids, the kid's working
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: at it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, And isn't it poetic that the Sabers are
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: sort of developing their own Brad Marshan here in this series,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: when the Bruins obviously have had Brad Marshan, you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: being a menace to other teams for the last decade
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and a half.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: One hundred percent. He's he just you could just tell
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: with that dopey smile he's got every time there's a scrub,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: it's it's so frustrated. It's frustrating to watch. But thank
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: got him a Sabers fan because I'm like, yeah, that
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: would piss me off too.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he wants to be hated and bowed in thirty
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: one other buildings. I love that mentality from Zach Benson.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But then shot attempts twenty one to four. At that point,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Swayman comes up with a massive cross crease save on
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Benson that made it for nothing. That was, you know,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Swayman's best save of the night. But then just shortly
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: after the Sabers four check, once again, Byron takes the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: cross crease pass and fires it from the left circle
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: for nothing. Buffalo Boston has two shots as Brought and
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Quinn were sort of tied up beside the net. The
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Bruins were sort of arguing that at first, but it
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: was I mean, if Swayman was mad at anybody, should
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: be mad at his own guy, because he shoved himself
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: in to Jeremy Swayman, He's what shoved them, Jack Quinn
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and I should say, and it's four nothing Buffalo at
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: that point, and uh wow, just what a dream start.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And and TD Gardens was was a library tonight?
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was. It was interesting because a
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: part of me did panic for a little bit after,
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: you know, Stir making the comments after last game, like
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: all the Sabers are hacking Swaymen and all that stuff.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: And when I saw Swayman kind of get tied up
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: and had to dive across when the goal went in,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: I was like, why did Swayvemn fall? And then once
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: they showed the replay and it was clearly because of
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: the Bruins guy, I was like, Okay, there's nothing to
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: worry about. But Bo and Biram, I mean, what else
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: can you say about the way him and Op? But
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Byron is a step above Ope right now. But the
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: like Byron has been might might be a stretch to
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: say the best player from the Sabers of these playoffs,
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: but it's definitely not a stretch to say he's been
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: the best defenseman and the points are coming and it's
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: the way everything else is producing. But Byron is a
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: guy that looks like he's been on a Cup run before,
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: and that's huge for Buffalo because he's he's been awesome.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: We're seeing glynn Is of the Colorado Bowen Byrom when
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: they went on that Cup run, right and you know
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: when when Byron came here, you know, interestingly enough for
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Casey Middlestat, who's now playing on the Bruins in the series.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: You know, there were times where that Bowen Byram might
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: have not been a Saber. There was trade talks, you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: at the end of in the summer last year, and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: was he going to be a long term solution for
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: this team. But he's really picked it up and it's been,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned, probably the Sabers' most effective offensive defenseman
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: in the series, you know, just you know, breaking records
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: as well or tying records, I should say for for
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Sabers defenseman. I'm gonna pull that up right here for
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: you guys watching on on video. You guys are listening along,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I'll read it off to you. You know, players with
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: points in the first well, I guess I didn't have
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Bowen Byrom's up here. But Byron's goal makes him the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: only skater in franchise history to register and assist in
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: his first four games of their playoff career. So wow,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: just uh, you know, I guess that's an own power
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: stat so I'm messing up here. But the Peyton Krebs
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: stat as well, Sabers players with a point in each
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of the first four career playoff games Danny Gahre and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Peyton Krebs. So just u crazy to see some of
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: these Sabers coming through with the accolades that they've had
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: so far in four games.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. And I'm really happy for Power too,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: because I know he's obviously a very polarizing player. I've
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: I've liked him a lot in these playoffs. I know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: maybe a game one or two, they're Game two, no
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: one really everybody was bad. Just it is what it is.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: But for the most part, from a broad standpoint, I've
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: really liked Power in these playoffs. Like I've said that,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: I think him and Byron have been their best pair.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: They should be the number one pair of the way
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: that they're playing right now. So for Byron to step
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: up the way he is and kind of Power to
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: be producing the way he has been producing is huge
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: for them. Like we know their defense is they're bread
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: and butter, especially that top four, And I think I
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: thought power was really good this year. The production just
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: didn't meet how good he played, in my opinion, and
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: through four games in the playoffs he's producing I think,
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: you know, a couple of times throughout these he could
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: have had a goal. Unfortunately, he's just not a really
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: good shooter, doesn't have a hard shot. He would be
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: the first one to say that. We all know that.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: But I think he's been really affected and playing with
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: Byram has has taken has really allowed him to kind
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: of flow freely in these playoffs. And just like I
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: said earlier, none of us had Krebs as a as
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: a guy who's going to break out and make an
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: impact these playoffs, and he's on the score sheet. He's
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: been one of their most impactful forwards.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: And then getting quickly back to the rest of the game, here,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Arbitson took a hit. He didn't return for the Bruins,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: who's been one of their more effective forwards in the series.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: So that's obviously a big loss for them going forward.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: No scoring in the second period. Third period, the Sabers
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: got goals for Malenstein and Talk just about a minute
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: apart to make it six nothing.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you want to mention anything.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: About those two goals, but it was four nothing at
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: that point.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, just with the mallenstangle. Just in general,
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: the way that that line played Game three and the
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: way they played game four, good for them to see
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: them get rewarded and on the score sheet because they
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: definitely earned it it. Like I said, they were a
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: lot better in game three than they were tonight. But
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: for a guy like beck Bellenstein, who also has become
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: a fan favorite with the way the style that he
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: plays for all like the shop blocking work that he does,
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: the physicality that he brings, the penalty kill work that
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: he does, for him to get rewarded with a playoff
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: goal definitely good for them. And then, just like I said, Tuck,
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: that top line has been awesome and you know, aside
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: from like a they're doing more than just scoring, which
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: is really good. But it's also good for a game
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: like today to see you know, all of them get
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: a point because Tage didn't get a point on the
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: first goal, but he did get an assist on the tuckle.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: So to see all three of your top line get
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: on the score sheet in a big win is huge
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: because much like you know, the theme of this episode
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: is these guys earned it, and that feels like the
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: way that Tage has been playing. He set the tone
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: in game one and he's been doing everything. So for
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: him to continue to produce points and a guy like
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Tuck to score is big. We'll see what it means
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Tuck's contract demands because a big playoff run from him
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: could have an impact on that, as we know, but
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: that's talk for another day right now. It's just good
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: to see literally fowards one through twelve producing.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean six different goal scorers tonight for the
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Sabers and just the rest of the notes that I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: had for tonight's game, Kozak and Zucker. As we'll hear
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Lindy Russ say later, they both left the game, but
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: more for precautionary reasons that neither of them came back.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: If it was a close game, we might have seen
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: forty eight and seventeen back on the bench. Danny Gear
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: had points in seven straight playoff games. He's now Byram
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and Owen power now up to four, so they're creeping
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: up to Danny Gear for Sabers history in that sense
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: pretty crazy that two Sabers are trying to catch a
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: franchise legend like that in the same playoff run, and
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: then just that stupid penalty from the Zadorov in the game. Like,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: if I'm a Bruins fan, I'm really mad about that,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: whether he gets suspended or not. To take a five
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: minute major with less than three minutes left in the game.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I know you want to make a statement for the
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: next game, but cross check and Dhalen in the back
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and taking a five minute major is not going to
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: help anybody on your team.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: I don't even know if that was about making a statement.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: I think that was just a door off being Si
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: door off, you know what I mean, Like I don't.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: It's the NHL, so I'm not gonna sit here and
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: expect any supplemental discipline on the flip side. Also, wouldn't
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: be surprised if if there was but just a boneheaded play.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: I know earlier in the third period, Castilick kind of
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: felt like he was going to try and get something
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: going to He was kind of john. They were a
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: little bit of a dust up there. Nothing ever happened,
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: but that zador Off moment was the only moment where
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: like it was like the Bruins are trying to be
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: the Bruins, and at that point in the game, it
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: was so late in the game and the game was
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: so out of hand, it was just like, Okay, cool,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: he's That's just who he is, right, Like, honestly, the
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: way the Door has played these playoffs. Don't want him suspended.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: I want him in the lineup because he hasn't been good.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: It's almost like he's still playing for the Buffalo Sabers.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's helping Buffalo a lot. Yeah, glad to see
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: nothing actually bad came out of that, Like Dollings, Fine,
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: was it Janou who hacked Tuck over the back of
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: the legs late earlier the third period? Two, Like you know,
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, a couple of dumb things like that, but
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: nothing totally out of hand. It's just one, it's playoff hockey.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: You kind of see this type of stuff happen all
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: the time. And two, this is who the Bruins are.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: This is what the Bruins want to do, and it
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: was probably just annoying that they couldn't really be effective
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: at it until they were down six to one late
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: in the third period.
• 34:30

• 39:16
  Speaker 1: game four at TD Gardens that we can be renamed
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: TD Library after tonight's game. Except for the Sabers fans
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: that were that made the trip, shout out to them.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: By the way, there was a there was a couple
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: of let's go Buffalo chances tonight and for the Sabers
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: fans to travel all the way to Boston and be
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: able to go into a hostile environment like that, like,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: good on them. The fans that have been waiting a
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: long time, I'm sure, but to have a strong contingent
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: on the road is always a good thing, I'm sure
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: for the team absolutely.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: And for anyone, you know, if there's any Bills crossover.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: Dalton Concaid was that games three and four feels like
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: he's gonna need to keep going to games until this
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: team loses because two and zero on the road with
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: him in the house, I think when Buffalo lost that
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: third second game, fans would are probably just go split
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: with Boston. The fact that they were not only able
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: to win both in Boston, but to win both the way.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: You know, Game three wasn't a convincing win, but they
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: controlled the game at five on five and it was
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: a big win. And then to respond to that big
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: win with just a pure you know, the lack of
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: better words part of my language felt the ass game
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: like that, it was. It was awesome to see fans
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: on the road, you know, the Rollerblade guys following the
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: team to Boston, like it's it's the type of stuff
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: we've been waiting for for literally fourteen years, and people
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: are finding out how how truly good the fan base
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: actually is because we have a good team to cheer
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: four now.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: And I saw Montreal had their own and I'm like,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: come on, guys, like you clearly copied the Sabers, Like
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: let's let's let let's have something else original here in Montreal, Like,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: let's let's come up with something better.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: You're an original six team.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: You don't have to copy the Buffalo Sabers on their
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: their Blade crew. But maybe if they met in the
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: second round, we could have a tilt between the two
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Blade crews out front.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know if if that would.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Be legal or not, but anyways, game stats or player
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: stats from from the rest of the game, we talked
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: about Bowen Byron met at nauseum just being a fantastic player.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: He was a plus three tonight goal and one assist.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: You also had a Owen power being a plus two.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: For those Owen power haters out there, you know, suck
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: on that one for tonight. As John Gibbons would say
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: back from his Blue Chase days, Peyton Krebs had a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: goal and assists plus two. Uh, Alex tug gol and
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: assists plus two. Josh done a goal and assist as well.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna give him a de facto power
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: play goal even though the Sabers are still over on
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the power play. And maybe this just needs this to
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: be a thing if they're gonna go on on a
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: run to the cup, maybe they just never can score
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: a power play goal.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean again, when we if you know, depending
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: on how the rest of the series plays out, when
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: it's time to do a recap of the first round,
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: no matter what the result is, that power play will
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: be a point of discussion. But it is a very
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: funny bit for the Sabers right now in this first
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: round to just not score out the power play but
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: so keep winning games.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: And the player stats in the series we talked about,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: you know, those guys leading the way, you know, Alex
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: talk with six points Peyton, Krebs, boem Byrom Tage Thompson. Like,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: they're getting contributions from a lot of these guys that
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: they need to right now, and it's been it's been
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: really fun to see just the amount they've scored sixteen goals.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: But it's not just like Tage Thompson scored twelve with
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: the goals and he's just.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: Been carrying the Sabers exactly.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that opening game was a was a legendary performance
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: from from Tage Thompson in the comeback. But other than that,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the other three games, it's not like it's just been
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: number seventy two and nobody else. There's been balanced scoring
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: throughout this lineup.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when her said, like I said, you're getting contributions
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: in one way or another from four is one through
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: twelve right now, when like that's a huge, huge reason
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: why teams are successful in the playoffs when that happens,
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: and that is awesome to see that it's happening from
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: round one. Like you said, Tage set the tone with
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: that performance in game one, and then you know guys
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: like like Crebs and Tuck have and even Tage like
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: have had big games, but they're getting on support elsewhere,
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: and that is obviously what you want to see. And
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: not only like I said, not only is it one
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: through twelve, but like the defensive chip again, and oddly enough,
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: this is all with Rasmus Dahalin not really doing anything
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: like we If the Rasmus Dallen that we know shows
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: up in these playoffs like that's going to be a
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: problem for the rest of the team or the rest
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: of the league. If the rest of the team plays
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: like this and Dalen elevates his game to the level
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: that we know we could get to.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Dahleen has one assist in the four games, and the
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: saving doing what they're doing right now. You know, Zucker
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: has no points in the four games either, and he's been,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: you know, a key contributor for the Sabers down the
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: stretch here plus six for Tuck, plus seven for Crebs
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: and byrom Byram leading the way on the defensive side
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: with three goals and two assists in the four games.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Just has elevated his game to another level and looks
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: like a guy that went on a deep, deep Cup
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: run with the Colorado Avalanche a few years ago. Speaking
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: of another former Colorado Avalanche, I know we gave him
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: a shoutout in the last episode being Catherine's naive. Connor
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Timmins and Logan Stanley continue to but you know, do
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: their job, and that third pair we we talked about,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: you know, in the playoff preview about the X factor
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: of that third pair needing to be be solid. We
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: talked about could Metsa or kessel Wring get in there
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: as well if Timmins underperforms. But you know, they've been
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: up to the test. They've been blocking shots, they've been
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of good things, and you know, they
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: haven't been really noticeable. And I think that's that's an
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: important thing for a third pair, where they're not you know,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: giving up massive you know breakaways or you know two
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: on one odd man rushes. They're not turning the puck
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: over a lot. Like I've just been impressed by by
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: them on the third pair being able to just do
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: their job.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not only do their job, but like just not
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: tonight necessarily, but like have a significant impact on games
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: like Game one and three, like I said, like a
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: ton of times there, so I apologize for that. Games
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: one and three, Connor Timmins came up with crucial shot
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: blocks on the penalty killed. Stanley and Timmins are a
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: big part of that penalty kill, and the penalty kill
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: has been excellent in the playoffs, like you know, like
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: we had last time. As bad as the power play
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: has been, the penalty kill has been that good and
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: Timmins and Stanley deserve a lot of credit for that.
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: So to the forward, So like from the third pair,
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: going from the biggest concern I think most fans had
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: coming into the series, maybe aside from the power play,
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: to being something that I don't even know if it's
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: a discussion anymore, and what the third pair should be
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: or is going to be. Maybe if they advance and
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: the matchup that they have, maybe it becomes another discussion.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: But right now, the way sixty four and twenty one
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: are playing, have no problem running them out there every game.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah they've been they've been really good. And even saw
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: you know, z the door try to go after Stanley.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: And that's why you bring a guy in like that
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: from Winnipeg, right because you've got a guy like Za
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: door Off running around and even the smaller guys are
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: willing to go after him. But when you've got a
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: guy like Stanley, he's he can go toe to toe
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: with the with the mead heeadlegd is a door of
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: and and we saw that tonight that they had to
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: be restrained near the end of the game.
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: Oh for sure. That again. You know, it's a bit
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: of old school mentality that I think think will always
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: still exist. Is if you have a guy like Stanley
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: who is a deterrent but can also play hockey properly,
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: they will have an impact. And as much as Castilick
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: and those guys are gonna try to intimidate, knowing you
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: have a guy, you know, Stanley Greenway won't necessarily fight,
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: but he's a big, imposing guy. Not like knowing you
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: have those guys who can play that role but also
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: be effective hockey players will help even things up. And
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: the mentality that the Sabers have adopted, we're sticking up
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: for each other, isn't really a question anymore. It's gonna
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: be really hard for guys, you know, zador Off, cast Lick, Janeo.
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: They're gonna do what they do, but it's gonna be
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: impossible for them to intimidate Buffalo, especially with a three
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: to one lead in the series. And that tone was
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: set in Game one when Buffalo just came out and said,
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: we're gonna hit everything through the wall because we're not
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: scared of you guys, and that's that has shown. I mean,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: the only time that the brew was kind of able
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: to physically suck the Savers in was Game two. But
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: it wasn't because the Sabers were scared. It was because,
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: for whatever reason, it just felt like Buffalo was going
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: out of their way to try and show Boston work
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: tougher than you. And there's no more questions about the
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: Sabers being scared basically, and the Bruins they're gonna have
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: to find a new slant if they want to come
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: back in this series.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: So let's go to Sabers head coach well Lendy rough
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: on the wild Bows out of repair post game, helping
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: customers stay safe and confident on the road in Niagres
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: of twenty twelve, an honor of the late William Robert Hunter.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Here's what the Sabers bench boss had to say about
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: his team's performance and going back to Buffalo now up
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: three to one in the best of seven series.
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: Every thing in the maturity of this club learning to
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: play in the playoffs. People on the outside may be
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: wondering about it. You come into Boston and win both
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: games and do it the way you played, and certainly
• 47:51
  Speaker 7: over the last five periods out of the six.
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, like I thought tonight was that first period is
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: the best period we've played all year. Uh, I thought
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: puck pressure, scoring opportunities as well. We moved the puck
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: and got the puck up ice, didn't spend much time
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: in our end.
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: Uh, It's like you said, maybe at that first period
• 48:14
  Speaker 8: in the previous game, not the best period, but these
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: last five are been really solid.
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: And then what need that pressure is just so bet
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: on us?
• 48:24
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's just everybody is a turnover caused by
• 48:28
  Speaker 10: you guys?
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: Why it just sober love.
• 48:32
  Speaker 8: I just feel Paul was like the previous game, you know,
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: we're the next man, was right there on every pass,
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: you know. I think we had good legs, We had
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: good energy. When you have good energy, you get the
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: places our feet were moving. I think that's the biggest deal.
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: Our feet were moving, we weren't standing around. Our anticipation
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: where pucks were going was really good. We were back
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: on top of them, so most of the passes they
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: had to make had to go through us. And we
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: created the turnovers that led to to scoring opportunities.
• 49:09
  Speaker 11: Linda, you mentioned the NHL kind of warned you guys
• 49:13
  Speaker 11: and wanted to hold this series to a little bit
• 49:15
  Speaker 11: of a higher standard. To that end, what did you
• 49:19
  Speaker 11: think of the visitor of play on Dollyen late in
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: the game?
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: You know, I understand the emotion of that, you know,
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: because of the way the game went. I mean, you
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: see that in playoff games. I mean, that type of
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: raw emotion is you know, it's because the player is
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: so frustrated with a game that you know, and there's
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: lots of bantering back and forth inside the game. It's
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: it's not it's not a play you want. I'm pretty
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: sure that if that's a regular season that might even
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: be a suspension. He could have easily broke could have
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: easily broke Rass's arm with the crossheck, I got jam.
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: Then I got to ask about Tyson Kozak and Jason
• 50:04
  Speaker 12: Zupper noticed they both went to the room during the game,
• 50:07
  Speaker 12: didn't come back, and he sat as update on them.
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: No update, you know, there was talk of them returning,
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: and I said, there's no need to return.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: At this time.
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: Just treat him, leave him in the dress room and
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: just for where the game was at, then you don't
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: get to overlooked the Elk's line at the rock solid.
• 50:29
  Speaker 11: Just just what did you think of his presence in
• 50:31
  Speaker 11: that tonight and what he did?
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I thought there was a couple shifts
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: in the second period. We got caught one in particular
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: where you know, he faced two or three good opportunities
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: I thought the first period for most of the period
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: except for the one, I think he maybe faced one
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: chance in the first period, But he just looked really
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: comfortable and hate the goal that we gave up as
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: a as a group, as a team after how well
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: he's played, But he just he's really confident between the
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: pipes right now.
• 51:13
  Speaker 13: In your experience, which is the added challenge of closing
• 51:16
  Speaker 13: out a series when you have for three wins, what's
• 51:19
  Speaker 13: is it a mental or a physical thing about getting
• 51:22
  Speaker 13: that fourth one that makes it even harder.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: I think that the challenge is the team.
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: That's going to come in there they hit their highest
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: desperation level. I think you saw some of that last
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: night in the Philly Pittsburgh game. You you looked at
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: a game between Dallas and Minnesota, you know, team didn't
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: want to go down three to one. The battle in
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: that game, that's your biggest challenge is your desperation has
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: to succeed there knowing that they have nothing to lose anymore.
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: And sometimes when there's nothing to lose, you can create
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: enough and enough passion that it makes it extremely hard
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: for the team that's trying to close it out to
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: win a game.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: There was Sabers head coach Lindy Ruff on the Wild
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Bills Auto Repair postgame Austin. A lot of stuff there
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: from the Sabers bench boss as always. Video courtesy of
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: x dot Com, Slash Buffalo, Sabers MSG, and the National
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Hockey League.
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: What are your takeaways from what he said tonight?
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, most importantly, the two things that I look
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: at were the updates on you know, cooz Aknzucker and
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: that's big. You know, saying there's no need for them
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: to come back obviously means one they could have came back.
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: That's good. Interesting. I don't maybe I missed it. I
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: don't remember hearing anything about the league warning the Sabers
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: that and the Bruins that this series is gonna be
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: held to a higher standard. So that was kind of
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: interesting that popped up, that perked my ears up a
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: little bit. Kind of does make me wonder if there'll
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: be any discipline for Zadarov, Zadorov, whatever you want to
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: say his name. I would imagine maybe it's a fine.
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: I don't I can't see him getting suspended for that,
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: but I guess you never really know. And then just
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: the him talking about Lion right just lyon in UPL
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: when they've both been good. They've both been really, really good.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: But the one thing I will say is just Lion
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: has that swagger about him that I just don't think
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: UPL has. And that's not a shot at UPL. He's
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: extremely good athletic goalie. He's just Lion's got that psychopath
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: thing that you want in a goalie. So when he's
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: clicking like this, that's awesome to see. He like I said,
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: he wasn't needed in the first period, he was needed
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: a lot in the second and he was up to
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: the task. So and understand why Lindy was mad. He
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: earned that shutout and you know, you give him a
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: short handed goal, it kind of stinks. So I'm sure
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: that's something that will be held there. But yeah, good
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: to hear that they're healthy. And yeah, that bit about
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: them being warned about the series being held to a
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: higher stand that was interesting to me because I don't
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: remember that. I don't remember even seeing that anywhere.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Any quick thoughts on what Andrew Raker of that earlier
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: this week about Alex Lyon, Yeah.
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: That was also weird. What nothing like whatever.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: From the back Andrew Raycroft just coming out. Yeah, it's
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: a comment.
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: Weird comment, not like like, yeah, weird comment. There's also
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: weird weird guy to go after. I don't know, I
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: know Raycrofts, the Boston guy, and you know, Lion was
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: chirping at Bruins fans and chirping at you know and stuff,
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: so maybe it's just putting on for the I don't know.
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: It was weird. It seemed like not that I know
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: I Alex Lyon personally at all, but the little bit
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: that I've heard from talking like on a couple of
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: interviews that he's done, him being around the Sabers doesn't
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: seem like a hatable guy. And arguably, like if you
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: want to say he's a bad goalie, I don't know,
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: the numbers this year would kind of say the exact opposite.
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he keeps winning, so.
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. Weird weird, weird weird.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: So we'll go to our Sabers feature player interview tonight,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Rocky by the Nagrident Clinic creating natural smiles in the
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Naga region for over twenty five years. Here is Boween
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Byron's postgame interview with Dan dun Levy and Rob ray
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: on MSG since.
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: Between periods coming back out for the second Yeah, you
• 55:13
  Speaker 10: know you're expecting to push from the other team, but
• 55:16
  Speaker 10: you know, we just wanted to keep doing.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: What we were doing.
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: We're doing a lot of good things.
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: I thought we just played really fascinate and you know,
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: our forwards is a great job of creating and yeah,
• 55:25
  Speaker 9: it was a lot of fun. So you know, sometimes
• 55:27
  Speaker 9: those games are tough to plan. When you get up early.
• 55:28
  Speaker 9: You got to try to can continue to game momentum
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: and sustain momentum, sustained pressure.
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: So I thought we did a pretty good job of that. Yeah,
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: whatever you.
• 55:35
  Speaker 14: Guys had for breakfast, have it again all right before
• 55:36
  Speaker 14: the next game. You don't wait till dinner time to
• 55:39
  Speaker 14: have it. Listen, you talk about playing with speed, can
• 55:42
  Speaker 14: you speak to the connectivity though with a team. It's
• 55:44
  Speaker 14: one thing to get up ice quickly, one player at
• 55:46
  Speaker 14: a time, remove the puck quickly, but you seem to
• 55:48
  Speaker 14: be doing it.
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: It's never just one guy.
• 55:49
  Speaker 14: There's at least two guys maybe you know, three on
• 55:52
  Speaker 14: the attack there that's helping you make that play at
• 55:54
  Speaker 14: the line.
• 55:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I think it's just something you know, we've worked
• 55:58
  Speaker 9: on all year, you know, the just preach playing fast
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: and getting.
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: The puck up the ice quickly.
• 56:03
  Speaker 9: But like you said, sometimes I can get you into
• 56:04
  Speaker 9: trouble if you're giving it to someone with no support.
• 56:06
  Speaker 9: So yeah, I thought I thought we did a really
• 56:09
  Speaker 9: good job of that. You know, we kind of came
• 56:11
  Speaker 9: up the ice as five and you know, made it
• 56:13
  Speaker 9: real difficult on their d and they and their forwards
• 56:15
  Speaker 9: to kind of contain us.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: Up up the ice.
• 56:17
  Speaker 10: How about the layers of defense you guys got. You
• 56:19
  Speaker 10: guys are going at them, you're buzzing the pock, you're
• 56:21
  Speaker 10: on top of them. If they missed the first guy,
• 56:23
  Speaker 10: you've got a second guy, then you got the third guy.
• 56:25
  Speaker 10: It's so hard, it seems like for the Bruins to
• 56:28
  Speaker 10: get anything going up the ice.
• 56:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, you know, we talk about it all
• 56:32
  Speaker 9: the time when our forwards are for checking and tracking
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: like they were tonight. We're a really good team and
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: we're tough to be just allows. Uh you know dda
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: play aggressive, pinch the walls and really give the other
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: team no time and space.
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I thought we did that to a t tonight.
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: You're playing many to well, you're playing.
• 56:49
  Speaker 14: With a lot of different defense payer or partners rather
• 56:51
  Speaker 14: depending on the moment of the game. But can you
• 56:53
  Speaker 14: speak a bit to how Owen Powers handled this first
• 56:55
  Speaker 14: time playoff experience for him and how at least in
• 56:58
  Speaker 14: our eyes we've seen his game, sure, and we've talked
• 57:00
  Speaker 14: about that in the broadcast a few times.
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's been on real you know it, made a
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: few really good plays with the puck tonight. You know
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: Froz the guy on my on my goal there and
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: then was just distributed it and all night moving his feet,
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: and you know, he's been a blast to watch and
• 57:15
  Speaker 9: then super fun to play with.
• 57:16
  Speaker 10: Bo You've been on fire offensively three goals in this series.
• 57:19
  Speaker 10: Some said here between periods up here that you snuck
• 57:22
  Speaker 10: downstairs to get your picture with the second greatest number
• 57:25
  Speaker 10: four ever to play the game, to Bobby or statue
• 57:27
  Speaker 10: Is that true?
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know, that might be rumors.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Bowen Byram Sabers defenseman on the Niger Denture Clinic feature
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: player interview.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: That audio courtesy of Buffalo Sabers dot com, x dot Com,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: slash Buffalo Sabers MSG and the National Hockey League. A
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: little funny funny clip there with with Razor and Don
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Levy uh with with Bowen Byram.
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: But what did you take away from what he said there?
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: I just like, you know, how they asked him about
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: power and what they've seen from him and getting you know,
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: his partners perspective kind of just reiterate it's like he's
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: he's not like he's playing well. Has he been perfect? No,
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: but he's playing well. He's able to read off Bow.
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: They have a really good chemistry together, and as good
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: as Bow and Byron has been, you have to attribute
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: a little bit of that to how he's able to
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: play off of his partner. And just you know, that
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: was awesome to hear and the fact that we're just
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: sitting here you brought it up is a great point
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: that you brought up early the podcast is there was
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: trade rumors about bow and Byron earlier this in the offseason.
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: The fact that he's still here and the way he's
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: been able to step up is just kind of like
• 58:38
  Speaker 5: it's a crazy butterfly effect, because if Byron's not here,
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know what this lineup looks like. We don't
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: know who's playing that role. Because at times, even throughout
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: the regular season, you know, when Toleen had to step away,
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: or when Doleen was kind of finding himself given everything
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: he'd gone through, Byron was able to step up and
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: be this anchor on this blue line, and through four
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: games in the playoffs, he's he's done that again. And
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: if he keeps doing that, it's totally amount of time
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: before Dahlan pops off and then we're sitting here talking
• 59:07
  Speaker 5: about how dangerous this top four is again. And I
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: don't even mean that as a negative because his top
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: four is still dangerous. But imagine how good this top
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: four is playing when Dallen is clicking and Byron has
• 59:18
  Speaker 5: been able to kind of lift up that slash and
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: that's that's huge for Bronment, it's huge for Buffalo.
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I love that he gave Power a shout
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: out as well.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Just continues to elevate his game, and again that top
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: four has been Buffalo's strength, but also Stanley and Timmins
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: have done a solid job on the third pair as well.
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: So before we get out.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Of here, Player of the Game, he got a lot
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: of options, you know, Bone Buyer, Malex Lion, Zach Benson,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Peyton Krebs.
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: Who are you going with tonight?
• 59:47
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna go with Lyon because I think Lyon
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: was probably well also his player of the Game for
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: game three. I'm gonna gieve Payton Crebs his flowers. You know,
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: we've talked about him a lot today, but we've talked
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: about those other guys a lot, so I'll give credit
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: his flowers for just you know, able to descent the tone,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: start playing like not like the player we thought he
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: was gonna be, because we thought he was gonna be
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 5: a much more skilled guy. But he's been able to
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: adapt that into an aggressive, for checking, relentless type player
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: and now him seem seamlessly becoming a top line winger
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: for the Savers on you know, in a huge playoff
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: series like that, that's huge for Hiaven for him to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: be able to be producing the way he is. Have
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 5: a multipoint night again, tonight, I'll give Crebs his flowers.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and almost forgotten piece in that the Alex Tuck
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Jack eicheltrade right, former first round pick of Vegas. And
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: you wonder, you know, is he considered a bus because he's,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: you know, basically a four checking player. But I think
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Peyton Krebs, you would take what he brings to the
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: lineup and what he's been doing for them in the
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: playoffs as a first round pick, you know what I mean,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Like he's he's fitting well with Thompson and Tuck on
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: that top line left wing spot. And again, he might
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: not be putting up the numbers he put up in
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: junior hockey, but he's developing into a solid, useful National
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Hockey League player, a lot like a Zach Benson or
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: a Josh Stone. Just those types of players are how
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: the Sabers are finding the glue that puts all the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: rest of their core together that we've been talking about
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: for three or four years of when is the score
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: going to break through? These other guys have been coming
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: through being able to fit the rest of the puzzle.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, And just again like a guy who was
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 5: a top prospect, like you said, became the fourth line
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 5: center in Buffalo and never complained once about it, basically
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: adapted to that role, took to that role, no complaints,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: just immediately became a heart and soul type of guy.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 5: For him to now get rewarded with being a consistent
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 5: top line player and to get the points like, that's
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: big for him. And yes I am biased because I
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: am one oft Crebs's bigges supporters and have been since
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: that trade, But you can't prove me. You can't tell
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: me I'm being biased now because he's just straight up
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 5: playing good hockey.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: So final thoughts going into Tuesday with a chance to
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: wrap it up on home.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 5: Ice, I mean huge, right, like you have to, not
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: you have to, but it would just be such a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: big moment to wrap it up in game five. You
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 5: have a lot of momentum coming off tonight. Find a
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: way to just carry that over. And before we move on,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: I do want to say one final thought, not necessarily
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: Sabers related, but Ambork season is done. Be kind of
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: curious to see if anyone gets called up to kind
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: of be like a black a squad for these guys.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: But a shout out to Don Stevens, play by play
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: guy for the Ammers. Last time on the call tonight.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: Kind of sucks that the Amerks were done, but want
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: to give him a shout out because not that I'm
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: some big AMers guy, but it was cool to see
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: him on the broadcast of the Sabers earlier and for
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: his career to come. They want to just give him
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: a quick shout out.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: No, absolutely, anybody in the Sabers system for sure. You know,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: great to see a great career Don Stevens that's lasted
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: many decades comes to an end tonight but gets to
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: leave on his own term. So that's going to wrap
