00:00Yeah, I wonder, we talked a little bit about this.
00:03Do you have a thought on, like, how they might react?
00:05If they clinch tonight, like, is it, like, it's not champagne and ski goggles, right?
00:13No, no, no.
00:13Right?
00:14Like, no, right?
00:15No.
00:15I would imagine they feel like a team that sort of takes after Zucker a little.
00:24Like, he's kind of like the elder statesman.
00:27When he's 33, 32 years old, I mean, he's not even that old.
00:31Because, like, I'm not old, so he can't be old.
00:34Keep it up.
00:36So, like, I would bet there is a moment after the game, if they win and, you know, someone's passing
00:42the belt, like, there'll be a moment.
00:44But I don't know that it's going to be, I would imagine it's not going to be a huge thing
00:49for them.
00:50Just from the sound of Tage there in that sound.
00:52Right, yeah.
00:52Which I think is appropriate.
00:54I think that's how you want them to feel.
00:56You're like, we, you know.
00:57It's different clinching the last day of the regular season and you're sneaking your way back in.
01:02And then it's a real moment.
01:04Yeah, right.
01:05But when you've got seven games to get something done.
01:08Yep.
01:09It's hard, I think, to get too excited about that moment.
01:13But yet, I think from the fan standpoint, this is where the players are so different.
01:19Like, yes, they're carrying the weight of the franchise not being in the playoffs for 14 years, but they haven't
01:25lived every one of those years.
01:26Right.
01:26Very few of them have even lived half of that.
01:29Right.
01:29Maybe even Darlene is the only one Thompson got here that same year or the year after.
01:34Whatever.
01:35There's just not a lot of them that have been anywhere near through what the fans have been through.
01:41Right.
01:41For 14 seasons.
01:44803-0550 is the number.
01:46The drought could be ending tonight with a Sabres win in Ottawa.
01:51There's a sneaky way they can also get in with just a loser point if I think it's Philadelphia and
01:59Columbus, I think, is the other team.
02:02Zach, do you happen to know?
02:04Zach's doing something in there.
02:06If they lose in a shootout, it's Carolina and Philly.
02:11If they both win, the Sabres can get in with just one point tonight.
02:14Anyway, the drought's ending at some point here.
02:17It could be, hopefully, as soon as tonight.
02:19And what does that all mean to you out there?
02:228-0-3.
