Jeremy, Joe, and Owen discuss yet another strong performance from Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.
Transcript
00:00Lukanen in that, Lukanen gets the win.
00:01I thought he looked like he was as dialed as he's ever been.
00:08He was snapping that glove.
00:11He was snapping the glove and then moving the puck right away.
00:15That was when, I mean, that was late, but when he.
00:18He is Morpheus in the Matrix doing this.
00:21That was Lukanen last night.
00:23He wanted all of it.
00:24When he dropped the puck to Metza on the penalty kill immediately,
00:27like made the save and knew right away where his guy was to drop it to,
00:32like, oh, he's not letting another goal in in this game.
00:36That might have been before it went off Owen Power Skate, though.
00:39That's not his fault.
00:39I might have jinxed him.
00:41That doesn't count.
00:42No.
00:42That goal does not count.
00:43Not at all.
00:44I think that might even not count as a goal again or a shot on goal
00:48sort of towards the same percentage.
00:50I think they changed own goals now or a different thing for just gambling.
00:54But he, man, Lukanen is hot.
00:58He's doing, I think, the exact thing that they hoped he would do.
01:02And he's running with it.
01:04And I think that he is feeling confident.
01:07And that is something that when he is in that zone, he can play.
01:11That guy can play.
01:13And he's got talent.
01:14And it's showing up right now.
01:16No, I'm happy to eat my crow on thinking that he's not consistent enough.
01:21He's playing really, really good hockey.
01:24I mean, Paul's banana.
01:25He's got the stat on him since December 9th.
01:27It's a little higher now.
01:28But 9-22, top of the league.
01:31Like, the guy is playing some really, really good goaltenders.
01:35Yep.
01:36And it's fun to watch.
01:37Last night was, I thought you nailed it.
01:39Like, that was a really, it was an elite goalie game to watch.
01:42Sorokin was great, quietly.
01:44Lukanen was really good.
01:46And they came out on top.
01:48Like, that is what I would expect the series to look like a lot if they end up playing the
01:54Islanders.
01:55The penalty shot was impressive.
01:57So good.
01:58Was it mostly because he actually bit on the first deke?
02:01Yeah.
02:02And that he was able to get back to it anyway?
02:04It almost even looked like he was trying to bait Lee into the movie made because he dropped that knee.
02:11Like, go over here.
02:12I'm going to make you think I can't get there.
02:14I'm just going to grab this edge back.
02:16Make Lee think that he's got you.
02:19Exactly.
02:20And he just like, yeah, no, not a chance.
02:22And perfect, you know, technique to get the edge back and then cover the puck, just smother it.
02:29Lee had no chance to put that anywhere close to in the net.
02:33It was eaten up.
02:34There was no chance for it.
