00:22:50The cloud shot
00:22:52Rolled up off the back glass
00:22:54Jack I couldn't get it out
00:22:57Here's Connor Timmons
00:22:59Break wide
00:23:00Too far in front of Tuck
00:23:02Owen Power
00:23:03Badgered at the point
00:23:04Sent it in behind
00:23:06And Dobish played it
00:23:08The six goals given up
00:23:09By Dobish華
00:23:10Saturday night
00:23:11By far the most he's yielded
00:23:12In the playoffs
00:23:13Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok.
00:23:13He had given up four goals only
00:23:15once in the previous 12 games.
00:23:21You're right Ray.
00:23:22Marty San Luis didn't seem
00:23:23concerned about the wear and tear
00:23:25on his goaltender.
00:23:26He talked about how they've been
00:23:28very careful really have not
00:23:30spent much time on their feet or
00:23:31on the ice in the days in between.
00:23:36That's a that's a little
00:23:37different for a goalie.
00:23:38They usually like to get out
00:23:39and get a few touches a few
00:23:41fields on the ice but Buck got
00:23:44turned over to Slavkovsky.
00:23:47Bowen Byron played it ahead.
00:23:49Zach Metz is out on defense as he
00:23:52plays in his second playoff game.
00:23:54He entered in game six for his
00:23:56first playoff game ever at age
00:23:58twenty seven and wound up scoring
00:24:00a power play goal part of the
00:24:02eight goal onslaught one shy of
00:24:04the Sabres record for goals in a
00:24:07playoff game.
00:24:08That's one of those curiosities
00:24:10the Sabres have a way better record
00:24:12when he's in the lineup than when
00:24:14he's out.
00:24:15Played in forty three games in the
00:24:17regular season.
00:24:19Was with them down the stretch.
00:24:21That puck got to the net front.
00:24:23Krebs couldn't send it on net.
00:24:25He repositions and starts the
00:24:28entry.
00:24:30Played around.
00:24:31Greenway couldn't get there for
00:24:33Buffalo.
00:24:34This is the fourth line now.
00:24:36Krebs was the first line left wing
00:24:38with Thompson and Tuck is now the
00:24:41fourth line center.
00:24:43Only rough said Thompson's played
00:24:45quite a bit of wing.
00:24:46Not fifty percent of the time this
00:24:49season.
00:24:50But he estimated between a quarter
00:24:52and a half of the season he's
00:24:53played on the wing rather than at
00:24:55center.
00:24:55I think Josh Norris becomes a real
00:24:57important player in that
00:24:58alignment.
00:24:59He's got to transport the puck
00:25:00through the middle of the ice.
00:25:01So Thompson can get free to shoot
00:25:03the puck.
00:25:05Here's a chance down low.
00:25:07Quinn stopped by Dobich.
00:25:09Quinn didn't have a goal in the
00:25:11playoffs.
00:25:12Then he scored two.
00:25:14In game six.
00:25:16Both on the power play.
00:25:18Texier's pass behind his target
00:25:20Deneau who has the only goal the
00:25:23game is first since April 7th
00:25:25late in the regular season
00:25:26against Florida.
00:25:28Here's Texier.
00:25:30Took a body from power.
00:25:32Deneau sends it back in deeper
00:25:34glove down by the Frenchman
00:25:36Texier.
00:25:37At the line.
00:25:38Gouley up the wall didn't get
00:25:40very far comes back to Gouley.
00:25:41He was looking for a tip and
00:25:43didn't get it.
00:25:44Now it's Hudson moving to the
00:25:47slot.
00:25:48Gouley played it quickly.
00:25:52Gouley room again.
00:25:54Long Wrister kicked out by
00:25:56Lukanen.
00:25:57Ozone time for Montreal.
00:25:59Hudson cross eyes broken up by
00:26:01power.
00:26:02Helen is ahead for Dome.
00:26:04Off for Quinn.
00:26:05Back out in front for Dome.
00:26:07And Dobich stuck his stick out
00:26:10and a big collision.
00:26:11Gouley and Dome.
00:26:12Gouley went down to the crowd
00:26:14like that.
00:26:15Cross it comes for a shot.
00:26:17And a great stop by Dobich as
00:26:19Connor Timmons.
00:26:21The defenseman went charging
00:26:22toward the net.
00:26:24Buffalo D very aggressive in the
00:26:26offensive zone and going down low.
00:26:29Samuelson handed it off for a
00:26:31tuck blast.
00:26:31Hard off the back wall.
00:26:33And covered by Dobich.
00:26:36Good chances for the Sabres and the
00:26:38crowd comes to life.
00:26:44The Sabres best push in this first
00:26:47period over the last couple of
00:26:48minutes.
00:26:49Helenus finds Quinn in tight.
00:26:52Two goals in game six.
00:26:54Quinn looks for another.
00:26:55But Dobich spreads out to make the
00:26:57pad stop.
00:26:59The Stanley Cup playoffs on ESPN are
00:27:02presented by Geico.
00:27:03It feels good to have a winning
00:27:04team.
00:27:05It feels good to Geico.
00:27:19Back in Buffalo.
00:27:21Rasmus Dahlin had one of his best
00:27:22seasons following a summer his
00:27:24fiancee Carolina had a life saving
00:27:26heart transplant.
00:27:27Carolina told me she's doing great
00:27:29now and she's just so proud of
00:27:30Rasmus.
00:27:31She said he's finally getting the
00:27:33recognition but I've always known
00:27:35this about him.
00:27:35He's hard working.
00:27:37He's loyal.
00:27:37He's kind.
00:27:38And he finally gets to show that on
00:27:40this stage in front of all of
00:27:41these people.
00:27:44And as a result of all of that
00:27:45Darlene won the three finalists
00:27:48for the Masterson Trophy for
00:27:50Perseverance.
00:27:53He and his team have been through
00:27:55a lot.
00:27:56Very slow start to the year looked
00:27:58like they were heading for 15
00:27:59years in a row out of the
00:28:00playoffs and then a remarkable
00:28:01turnaround.
00:28:03Lindy Ruff says they met the
00:28:04challenge every time they've needed
00:28:07to.
00:28:08And hoping they'll do so again
00:28:10tonight.
00:28:10Meanwhile Montreal has not lost
00:28:13back to back games in these
00:28:15playoffs.
00:28:15Hoping to keep that intact.
00:28:17And win their second game seven
00:28:19in as many series.
00:28:21They lead one to nothing.
00:28:23Phillip Deneau the goal for the
00:28:25the Canadians out in front.
00:28:27What a stop.
00:28:28Rebound and another one.
00:28:29Couple of chances for Caulfield.
00:28:32Montreal saying that one went
00:28:34straight out of the rink and
00:28:36Buffalo will be penalized here.
00:28:42UPL tested again.
00:28:45Buffalo number six minor powering.
00:28:47Delia game.
00:28:49No argument from Benson as he went to
00:28:51the box.
00:28:52They just wanted to get the puck
00:28:53away from the net front.
00:28:55Montreal's chance is with their 51
00:28:58goal score Cole Caulfield.
00:29:00Dead center.
00:29:01Caulfield tries to go low glove on
00:29:04Lucanen.
00:29:04Lucanen beats him here.
00:29:06And then this is a really quick
00:29:08reaction as Caulfield goes to his
00:29:10right and Lucanen goes to his left
00:29:13to take that away again.
00:29:14There's Benson.
00:29:16He's just trying to swat it away
00:29:17as you mentioned.
00:29:17He ends up clearing it over top of
00:29:20the glass in the Montreal power
00:29:21plate.
00:29:22Was one for three in game six.
00:29:24They get a first chance here.
00:29:26Demidoff has become the hot
00:29:27shooter goals in back to back games.
00:29:31There's seven for 25 in the
00:29:32series.
00:29:3328% Suzuki didn't see traffic coming.
00:29:36It was tough.
00:29:37Now Ryan McLeod who led the NHL in
00:29:40the regular season with five
00:29:42short handed goals.
00:29:45He's out there killing the penalty
00:29:46with Tucker with three shorties in
00:29:48the regular year.
00:29:49Buffalo has not scored a man down
00:29:51goal in the postseason.
00:29:54Suzuki wound up getting it back to
00:29:56the line and now it's in deeper
00:29:58slap Kofsky Hudson cross ice for
00:30:01Demidoff.
00:30:02And that's blocked off power and
00:30:04back to the red line.
00:30:07And a minute twenty two on the
00:30:09power play for Montreal.
00:30:12Demidoff had their power play goal
00:30:14in game six when they went one for
00:30:16three.
00:30:17Slap Kofsky has four leading all
00:30:21skaters in these playoffs.
00:30:25Hudson.
00:30:29Demidoff sent it down for Slap Kofsky
00:30:31across for Suzuki.
00:30:33And it carried into the corner.
00:30:35Demidoff back for Hudson who had to
00:30:37reach for it.
00:30:38Not very big five nine hundred and
00:30:41sixty two pounds.
00:30:42One of the best players in the
00:30:44NHL.
00:30:45Fake the one timer.
00:30:47He's been a infrequent shooter
00:30:50particularly lately.
00:30:52Six minutes to go on the period.
00:30:54They'd love this cross crease pass if
00:30:56they could get it set low.
00:30:58There it was.
00:30:59And then Demidoff fell down.
00:31:02And the puck wound up at the red
00:31:04line.
00:31:05Hudson trying to return quickly.
00:31:07Marty Sanlui changing part of the
00:31:09power play unit.
00:31:11Twenty seconds on the man up and a
00:31:12shot for Bolduc just on.
00:31:17Now Hudson Slapkofsky heads off so
00:31:19they're men short in the offensive
00:31:21end for the moment.
00:31:23Out in front it comes and they
00:31:25score.
00:31:28Zach Bolduc.
00:31:29A power play goal on a two nothing
00:31:32Montreal lead.
00:31:38Bolduc second to the playoffs he
00:31:40came over in a trade in July for
00:31:42Logan May U.
00:31:43And you mentioned Sean the
00:31:45Canadians only have four guys on
00:31:47the ice because they're changing.
00:31:49Suzuki wins this puck in the corner.
00:31:52That's the second puck battle that
00:31:54Montreal's won that's resulted in a
00:31:57goal.
00:31:57The first one led to the goal by
00:32:00Deneau.
00:32:00And much like Demidoff shot on the
00:32:04power play in game five or in game
00:32:06six.
00:32:07Bolduc makes it two nothing on the
00:32:09power play goal.
00:32:10And the Bell Salter up in Montreal
00:32:13gets to cheer again.
00:32:14It's a two nothing Montreal lead here
00:32:17in the first period.
00:32:19Both power plays have come to life
00:32:21Montreal now seven for its last
00:32:24seventeen a man up.
00:32:27And that is the first power play
00:32:29goal in these playoffs for anybody
00:32:30other than that first five unit
00:32:32twelve power play goals.
00:32:35And the first for Bolduc his third of
00:32:39the playoffs.
00:32:46Western Conference final matchup is
00:32:48set and the Golden Knights and
00:32:50Avalanche will begin on ESPN
00:32:51Wednesday night at eight.
00:32:53Game two of that series also on
00:32:55ESPN Friday at eight.
00:32:57TNT will have the entire Eastern
00:32:59Conference series starting
00:33:01Thursday.
00:33:02From the point sent by Darlene
00:33:04through Govish into the corner.
00:33:07Walked by Benson try to walk it
00:33:08out in front.
00:33:10Darlene back for Byram trying to
00:33:12shed Anderson.
00:33:14Dobson defends on Darlene.
00:33:15Darlene down low.
00:33:17They crowd the net.
00:33:19Fairback Darlene wound up in the
00:33:21net.
00:33:21He's still in the net.
00:33:22And here's a breakaway for
00:33:24Texier.
00:33:26Texier.
00:33:27Stop.
00:33:28By Dobish.
00:33:30Using all that six foot five
00:33:32inch frame to stretch out and
00:33:34make a right pad save.
00:33:36Now two breakaways in the game.
00:33:38You cannot beat these goalies
00:33:40around their feet.
00:33:41The puck's got to go in the air.
00:33:42They're just too big and too
00:33:44quick.
00:33:44Great stop for Lukanen.
00:33:46Dobish is 6'4.
00:33:49UPL 6'5.
00:33:52Dobish will leave it.
00:33:55For Gulley.
00:33:58And it's played in from center
00:34:00ice by Jake Evans who's been a
00:34:02standout in this series.
00:34:07Back of the line.
00:34:09Heleneus sends it ahead.
00:34:10It's a two on one.
00:34:12Zucker.
00:34:12And a great sliding play by Carrier to break it up.
00:34:18Zucker tried to slide it across and Carrier broke it up.
00:34:27After Bull Duke made it 2-0, it's pretty clear Buffalo's starting to fall into a hole.
00:34:32They can't give up too much more.
00:34:35But Thompson turns it over.
00:34:36Texier makes a strong move.
00:34:38But Lukanen's able to spread out as you mentioned.
00:34:42He's so big and long.
00:34:43He's going to go way across.
00:34:45Texier's got nowhere to go.
00:34:47It hits the side of the net.
00:34:48And Carrier sliding across to take that from Zucker.
00:34:52Zucker's already committed to the pass.
00:34:54He actually had Dobish open up wide.
00:34:56There was room between his feet.
00:35:01Series of fast starts.
00:35:03Two more goals in the first period tonight.
00:35:06In the previous two games, the two teams combined for five goals in the first period.
00:35:14Touched in by Josh Doan.
00:35:16He was held off the score sheet without a point in game six for the first time in this series.
00:35:24Bull Duke, the power play goal, his third goal in the playoffs from Suzuki and Hudson at 14-29.
00:35:33That's eight assists in this series for Hudson.
00:35:37And 12 in the playoffs.
00:35:40He said he had a lousy game won and that he would be better.
00:35:43He hasn't gone a game without a point since.
00:35:46All eight points now in this series in the last six games for Lane Hudson.
00:35:52Only Jack Geichel has more assists in these playoffs.
00:35:55He's had 14 for the VGK.
00:35:59Cage Thompson and Alexander Carrier.
00:36:03Thompson wins it.
00:36:04Using his long reach at 6-6.
00:36:07They continue to battle.
00:36:09Benson came in to try to help.
00:36:11And Boulder threw a hip into him.
00:36:14Down at 2.40 to go in the period.
00:36:172-0 Montreal.
00:36:19They scored six the last time they were in this building for game five.
00:36:25Thompson blocked up high by Bolduc.
00:36:29Played back in by Thompson.
00:36:31And Buffalo will change.
00:36:40Matheson.
00:36:4232-year-old veteran defenseman.
00:36:44It's driven in by Carrier.
00:36:46And they'll get a new deep here on.
00:36:48Will the Habs.
00:36:49Now Quinn.
00:36:53He got stood up by Gulley.
00:36:55Gulley not afraid to throw the body around.
00:37:0141 hits in the playoffs for Gulley.
00:37:04Only Jack Eye has more.
00:37:06Which is impressive given that Jack Eye only plays eight and a half minutes a game.
00:37:10He's not out there.
00:37:11Well he's out there.
00:37:12He's not out there to stick handle.
00:37:17I sing the call.
00:37:18A mock cheer from the Partisans here in Western New York.

00:37:34Little nervousness you can sense in the building here.
00:37:3718 minutes in a 2-0 Montreal lead.
00:37:40And the fans looking for something to cheer for.
00:37:45Team just 2-4 at home in the playoffs.
00:37:49Both teams have been much better away.
00:37:52Despite the fact that they have two of the most raucous fan bases.
00:37:57Loudest arenas in the NHL.
00:37:59This one's quiet right now.
00:38:01Josh Doan went right through Matheson.
00:38:04Tuck pointed off the far wall.
00:38:07Evans broke it up.
00:38:09But Tuck got it back.
00:38:10Darlene wanted to wind up for one.
00:38:11But Lane Hudson was there.
00:38:13Tuck put it on net.
00:38:16And now Ryan McLeod.
00:38:17Back for Owen Power.
00:38:19That hits a number of sticks.
00:38:21And winds up in the left wing corner.
00:38:23Played by Doan to McLeod.
00:38:25This is the second line now for Lindy Ruff.
00:38:27With the changes he made prior to game six.
00:38:31Under a minute to go now in the period.
00:38:332-0 Montreal.
00:38:36Alex Newhook got blasted.
00:38:38By Jordan Greenway.
00:38:43Played in by Evans.
00:38:45Demidov on the 4-check.
00:38:47Power emerged with the puck.
00:38:49Now Peyton Krebs still without a point in this series.
00:38:52Here's Malenstein.
00:38:54And the play is offside.
00:38:57The crowd does not agree.
00:39:01In game seven against Tampa 15 days ago.
00:39:04The Canadians had two goals on nine shots.
00:39:07They've got two on 11 here in Buffalo.
00:39:11A late first period lead.
00:39:172-0 Montreal.
00:39:18Less than a minute to go.
00:39:20In period one of game seven.
00:39:22Time for game drivers.
00:39:23Brought to us by Geico.
00:39:25Small moments create big moments here in a game seven.
00:39:29Josh Anderson will create this goal with his work on the 4-check.
00:39:32He pushes Byram off the puck to get good puck support from Texier and Gouli's shot.
00:39:39Hits Dano and goes in.
00:39:40And Suzuki wins the puck battle.
00:39:43Look what Mattias Samuelsson went.
00:39:45He went behind the goal line.
00:39:46He thought the puck was going to be reversed there.
00:39:48That one step that he took behind the goal line.
00:39:51Opened up the pass lane clean.
00:39:54To Zach Bolduc.
00:39:55And he made it 2-0 on the power play.
00:39:59Dano's goal.
00:40:01His first in the playoffs.
00:40:02He was the only Montreal skater who played in every game of these playoffs.
00:40:06Who did not have a goal.
00:40:07Now he has.
00:40:08His 10th career postseason goal.
00:40:12With a 12-year veteran.
00:40:15Played in 76 playoff games now with his appearance tonight.
00:40:20Buffalo trying to get it loose with time for a shot.
00:40:27And.
00:40:30They're not going to be able to do it.
00:40:33Good work by Carrier.
00:40:35Made a couple of the big plays in that first period.
00:40:38And.
00:40:39Dano and Bolduc the goals.
00:40:42Bolduc was on the power play.
00:40:442-0 Montreal after one in game seven.
00:40:47Here's Steve.
00:40:48Thank you Sean.
00:40:50Texier.
00:40:51Carrier.
00:40:52Messier.
00:40:54All getting it done.
00:40:55All getting it done.
00:40:56All getting it done.
00:40:56In the first.
00:40:57In the first break.
00:40:58Back with PK and Mess.
00:41:00Montreal.
00:41:00You got the memo.
00:41:01Yeah.
00:41:01White sneakers.
00:41:02What happened to you?
00:41:02I got the Gweedies on kid.
00:41:04Rugger Gweedies.
00:41:05What do you make of that first period?
00:41:06I mean.
00:41:07Montreal played great.
00:41:08Well.
00:41:08Big controversy.
00:41:09Not controversy.
00:41:10A lot of talk about the goaltending for Buffalo.
00:41:12They got down to nothing and a massive save on the breakaway by Texier.
00:41:16I think it really was probably going to maybe give him a chance to win this game.
00:41:19But they go down three nothing.
00:41:21That would have been tough.
00:41:21So I was happy to see Lucan and really.
00:41:23I thought he played really well.
00:41:24Yeah.
00:41:24Didn't have any chance on the two goals.
00:41:25Kept him in the game.
00:41:27Montreal.
00:41:27A lot better on their breakouts on control breakouts and their forecheck.
00:41:31You know Anderson with the big big forecheck.
00:41:33That's going to be key for them is not allowing Buffalo's D to take over this game.
00:41:38We're going to talk to anybody yet?
00:41:39Anybody coming around?
00:41:40Anybody standing by?
00:41:41We're going to go to break first leaves.
00:41:43Let everybody relax.
00:41:44You know.
00:41:45Get settled in.
00:41:46We'll come back.
00:41:46Just waiting for some direction.
00:41:48Some instruction.
00:41:48I got you dude.
00:41:49Here we go.
00:41:5076.
00:41:50Subban.
00:41:51Oh.
00:41:52Oh that's the other 76.
00:41:55Bolducatron.
00:41:56Nobody's calling him.
00:41:58Bolducatron.
00:41:58That's what we're calling him.
00:41:59Coming up.
00:41:59The Expedia first in a mission report.
00:42:01We'll look back at that first period.
00:42:03P.K.
00:42:03Talks to the other 76.
00:42:09Cup playoffs on ESPN presented by Geico.
00:42:13Montreal leading two to nothing after one period in game seven.
00:42:17Philip Deneau.
00:42:18The first goal four and a half minutes in then a power play tally by Zach Bolduc.
00:42:26And the road teams continue to thrive.
00:42:29This is the fourth game in Buffalo.
00:42:31Montreal won two of the first three.
00:42:34And including the first period tonight.
00:42:36They've now outscored the Sabres here at Keyback Center.
00:42:40Fifteen to eight.
00:42:41They have four power play goals.
00:42:46Sean McDonough and Rick Ferraro.
00:42:47We talked about it before the game.
00:42:49Home ice has not been an advantage for these two teams in the playoff.
00:42:52It's really hard to explain why.
00:42:55But Buffalo has come from a couple of goals down twice in this postseason.
00:43:01Including the two nights ago in Montreal when they were down three to one early.
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:04It doesn't really seem like a very good formula.
00:43:06I mean to drop down and have to claw back into the game.
00:43:09I thought there were times where Buffalo was fine.
00:43:12But the start of the game which Montreal was really concerned and focused on.
00:43:16Was more of Montreal's flavor.
00:43:18They forechecked better.
00:43:20They got the early goal off the Anderson forecheck.
00:43:22They get the power play goal.
00:43:23And now Buffalo has to claw back into the game.
00:43:26But it's really important that they don't think they have to do it in five minutes.
00:43:31Try not to give up that next one.
00:43:33But just claw your way in shift after shift.
00:43:37Montreal had eleven shots on goal in the first period.
00:43:40That's two more.
00:43:40They had the entire game seven in the first round at Tampa Bay.
00:43:44When they won two to one despite being outshot twenty nine to nine.
00:43:49Alex Tuck.
00:43:50That's over the head of Dovich.
00:43:52Might have grazed his glove.
00:43:54And the puck squirts free to Alexander Carrier.
00:43:58Break wide it comes to Alex Texier.
00:44:03And it's knocked in deeper by Deneau.
00:44:05Josh Anderson on it there.
00:44:09Matthias Sandilson for Buffalo.
00:44:14Ryan McLeod there to pry it loose.
00:44:17And now Tuck.
00:44:20Backhands it ahead hoping Josh Doe can run under it.
00:44:22Instead it's an icing call.
00:44:25Fifty one seconds into period two.
00:44:27Here's Emily Kaplan.
00:44:29Stylistically Sean this game seven is a lot different from Montreal
00:44:32than their first round against Tampa.
00:44:34But Stefan Robida told me he feels the experience of going through that game
00:44:38is probably why his team looks as comfortable as they do.
00:44:41One area they're watching though is getting out of their own zone.
00:44:43Buffalo's four check.
00:44:44That's their bread and butter.
00:44:45They're very heavy.
00:44:46And they're telling the Canadians guys sometimes you just need to flip it out of the zone
00:44:49and then try to win your foot race.
00:44:51It doesn't have to be a painting.
00:44:53Just move it forward and try and back Buffalo's four check out of there.
00:44:56I thought in game six that was a place where the Sabres just took the game over.
00:45:05Rasmus Dahlin crisply ahead.
00:45:07Ryan McLeod a good stick by Noah Dobson to break it up.
00:45:10Poked back by Tuck.
00:45:13Samuelson moved it with Caulfield approaching.
00:45:16Knocked into the zone by Tuck.
00:45:18Bouncing puck.
00:45:19Handled by Norris.
00:45:21Centering pass by Tuck.
00:45:23It actually wound up on that.
00:45:24Might have been a shot.
00:45:25And it was knocked down by Dovish.
00:45:29Slavkovsky forced back.
00:45:30Plays it around for Dobson but he does not have a stick.
00:45:33And it's nudged ahead by Caulfield.
00:45:38Lohan Byram played it across.
00:45:40Stolen power up the middle.
00:45:41Did not connect with Taige Thompson.
00:45:46Thompson moves it underneath for Benson.
00:45:48Wraparound trying on a free puck.
00:45:50But Norris couldn't play as he went sliding down on the knee.
00:45:56And icing is the call against Montreal.
00:46:02Not surprisingly a chance in the Buffalo end.
00:46:05And Zach Benson's in the middle of it.
00:46:07He's had a really good series.
00:46:08Certainly in game six.
00:46:09Moved up to the line with Thompson and Norris.
00:46:12And he's just such a creator.
00:46:14A small guy.
00:46:15But he's stout.
00:46:17He's got really quick feet.
00:46:19And he's got a nose for where the danger is.
00:46:21So he gets himself into the middle of it.
00:46:23There he creates off the wraparound.
00:46:29Three goals in this series for Benson.
00:46:33Five in the playoffs.
00:46:34Which is tied with Taige Thompson for the team lead.
00:46:37Power.
00:46:39Rink wide for Byram.
00:46:42He'll lose.
00:46:44Nice pass.
00:46:45Zucker shot.
00:46:46Off the back wall.
00:46:47Jam job at the post.
00:46:49Zucker poking away.
00:46:51No!
00:46:51He didn't have it!
00:46:52And he couldn't get it past Dobish.
00:47:00Little bit of chaos around Montreal's net.
00:47:03The long change meant that Dobson and Hudson were stuck on the ice for almost two minutes.
00:47:08They didn't get up and challenge.
00:47:11And as Byram kicks at this puck, it ends up right at the front of the net.
00:47:15Watch Byram right here.
00:47:16He kicks it off the post.
00:47:17And as Dobish tries to seal it, Zucker is in there poking away at it.
00:47:22But this...
00:47:23That wouldn't have counted.
00:47:25But the next one would have off of Zucker's stick.
00:47:28And Dobish is able to hold it aside.
00:47:30A good start here early for Buffalo the first couple minutes of this period.
00:47:35Norris the faceoff.
00:47:36He won every faceoff.
00:47:37All six in the first period.
00:47:39Montreal controlled that one.
00:47:41Rest of the Sabres went three for eight.
00:47:43And the faceoff done.
00:47:45Benson got a stick on that.
00:47:47Norris flying into the fourth jet.
00:47:49He checks Alexander Carrier.
00:47:51Okay.
00:47:51Benson moved it in behind the net.
00:47:54Ian Norris battled to win the puck.
00:47:56Somebody's lost a stick.
00:47:58There's a penalty coming here.
00:48:00And it's going against Montreal.
00:48:02It's a high stick.
00:48:04It's a four-minute penalty.
00:48:06This is the second game in a row that the Sabres have been down
00:48:10and then received a four-minute power play on a careless Montreal high stick.
00:48:17Now the officials are talking here.
00:48:19They're Wes McCauley and Jean Hébert.
00:48:22Montreal's in one four-minute high stick in under review.
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:26That's going to get taken away.
00:48:27You can see clearly that Zach Benson stick that hits Josh Norris.
00:48:33So the officials who are getting some help from Zach from Philip Deneau, which they don't need.
00:48:40But they're going to go to the headset and the video will show them that this is Zach Benson's stick.
00:48:48Let's bring in our rules expert, long-time NHL referee Dave Jackson.
00:48:52Dave, what's the procedure here?
00:48:55Sean, that's exactly why they have their review and they call a high-stick double minor.
00:49:00They want to make sure it's not friendly fire.
00:49:02They want to make sure it's not the puck or to make sure it's a follow-through.
00:49:05This sure looks to me like it's his own teammate.
00:49:08This is going to be a quick review.
00:49:09That'll be rescinded, I believe.
00:49:12After review, number six from Buffalo is the one that high-sticked and no penalty.
00:49:16Face off outside.
00:49:18Crowd bows but half-heartedly.
00:49:21They've seen replays and they know that's the correct call.
00:49:25So going back to game six, Mike Matheson took a double minor for high-sticking late in the first period.
00:49:31And Jason Zucker scored to make it 3-2.
00:49:34That quickly you can get back into the game.
00:49:36That looked like a potential power play coming up for the save or for the savers in the same sort
00:49:41of scenario.
00:49:42Now you just get back after it again.
00:49:44See if you can get yourself to have this lead here.
00:49:49So Benson has taken the only penalty of this game.
00:49:54It was in the first period.
00:49:58He shot the puck out of the rink.
00:50:00He's the most penalized player in these playoffs by far.
00:50:04With 64 penalty minutes.
00:50:08That's 27 more than Nikita Zdorov of Boston who did a lot of damage in six games.
00:50:14Offside Buffalo.
00:50:19The quest begins with the Buffalo Sabres.
00:50:23Believe in yourself. Believe in your teammate.
00:50:24Go behind the scenes with one team.
00:50:27It's all about this hunger.
00:50:28For each round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
00:50:31Quest for the Stanley Cup.
00:50:32Only on NHL YouTube.
00:50:36Buffalo's strength.
00:50:37One of their great strengths.
00:50:38We just saw Rasmus Dahlin as their defense getting up into the play.
00:50:44Pretty soon you're going to see more of a concerted effort.
00:50:47Byram.
00:50:48Dahlin.
00:50:49Samuelson.
00:50:49Up into the play to see if they can create something.
00:50:54They trail 2-0 in game one of the playoffs in the first round against Boston with under eight minutes
00:50:59to go.
00:51:00Josh Stone put a shot on that.
00:51:02Turned the side by Dovin.
00:51:04Of course they were down three to one.
00:51:06Halfway through the first period the other night.
00:51:07Came back to score.
00:51:08Nice stop by UPL on Bolduc.
00:51:18It's a good stop here for Lucan and an important one.
00:51:22I mean any shot that he faces now is critical.
00:51:24You see him knocking the snow off his jersey.
00:51:27Long flip out pass.
00:51:29So tough for the defenseman to deal with this.
00:51:31This has become a real strategy for teams.
00:51:34Bounce that puck out into center ice and make the defenseman try to make a play on it.
00:51:39There you see the Lucan and save with the left pad off of Bolduc's shot.
00:51:43We saw his shot in the first period.
00:51:44It was a bullet that gave the Canadians a 2-0 lead.
00:51:50Bolduc's had a nice game.
00:51:51Just 23 years old.
00:51:52As Ray mentioned earlier.
00:51:53Came over to trade from St. Louis.
00:51:55He's a Quebec native.
00:51:57You helped me with the pronunciation when we were in Montreal.
00:52:00Toi-Riviere.
00:52:03Yes.
00:52:04Toi-Riviere.
00:52:05I'm going with Three Rivers from now on.
00:52:07English version.
00:52:10Between Montreal and Quebec City.
00:52:12Probably a nice place.
00:52:16It is a beautiful place.
00:52:17It is a great part of the country up in Canada.
00:52:20We see Bolduc who was a first round pick of the Blues and was traded for Montreal's first rounder a
00:52:26couple of years ago.
00:52:27Logan Mayhew in a trade in July.
00:52:30It felt like St. Louis had a redundancy on the wing.
00:52:34When they had Dylan Holloway who had done so well there.
00:52:37And so they moved Bolduc maybe for in a positional thing.
00:52:40He comes home.
00:52:41To Montreal.
00:52:43He's got to be pumped right now.
00:52:45He's got to be pumped right now.
00:52:45Playing in a game seven for really his hometown team.
00:52:48And he's on the board.
00:52:50Wearing number 76 which PK Subban thinks should have been retired by the Canadians but is not.
00:52:57Here's Benson on the move.
00:52:59Drops it off.
00:53:00Norse tough angle shot.
00:53:02Missed the net.
00:53:02The carim goes all the way out to center right.
00:53:05Power to tenants.
00:53:08We're playing again tonight for the most part with five defensemen.
00:53:13Zach Metzer has not seen much time.
00:53:18Here's Tage Thompson trying to spin away from Wayne Hudson who looks like he's two feet shorter.
00:53:25He's actually about nine inches shorter.
00:53:28And it's played out by Kapanen.
00:53:31The door sends it in.
00:53:33Thompson was in the zone.
00:53:35Goes out through the bench door.
00:53:40That puck hit one of the officials went high in the air and it's picked up by Dahlin.
00:53:44They have numbers.
00:53:45The pass back kicked ahead by Hellenus.
00:53:49Now a snapshot attempted by Quinn.
00:53:52He gave it back to Hellenus.
00:53:54The 20 year old playing in his fourth game in a row in the playoffs.
00:53:58His first playoff experience.
00:53:59Dolly lets it go from up high.
00:54:02Sent back in deeper by Hellenus.
00:54:06And poked along to Slavkovsky by Matheson.
00:54:10Now Suzuki who has an assist tonight.
00:54:13His 13th point of the playoffs.
00:54:1511 of them on the road.
00:54:18And now Hellenus.
00:54:23He's been most of the year in Rochester.
00:54:25Don't think he's going to see the AHL again.
00:54:28No.
00:54:29That looks unlikely.
00:54:32McLeod force back.
00:54:34Lindy Ruff has won a game seven as the coach of the New Jersey Devils.
00:54:43That was in 2023 when they rallied from two games to none down to beat the New York Rangers.
00:54:48They won game seven four to nothing.
00:54:50And the first goal of that game was scored by Michael McLeod as the brother of Ryan McLeod playing for
00:54:56Lindy tonight.
00:54:56It was a shorthanded goal which is one of Ryan's specialties.
00:55:02They could use a goal from anybody now to try to turn momentum in this game.
00:55:06Tuck back of the line.
00:55:09And it went out.
00:55:12Power tried to save it but could not.
00:55:16Tuck still pointless.
00:55:18Buffalo goalless tonight and down two to nothing.
00:55:22ABC is home to the Stanley Cup Final.
00:55:3013-52 second period 2-0 Montreal winning ingredients brought to us by Chipotle and
00:55:36Ferraro.
00:55:38Jakob Dovish has won five straight games after a loss.
00:55:42He lost game six.
00:55:43We'll see how this turns out.
00:55:45But in those five games, Dovish has responded with a 940 save percentage.
00:55:51He's been perfect so far tonight.
00:55:53The Sabres have started to press a little more here at the beginning of the second period.
00:55:5812 shots, 12 saves for Dovish so far.
00:56:05One thing if I'm Buffalo and I'm thinking is that if you can get the puck in the zone and
00:56:09cycle,
00:56:10plant somebody on top of the crease, Dovish can get distracted.
00:56:13He's a pretty emotional guy and maybe you can get him to be preoccupied as you pump another couple of
00:56:20pucks at the net.
00:56:23Fire him up to the neutral zone.
00:56:26Chipped out of the rink by Benson.
00:56:31The Western Conference Final begins Wednesday night.
00:56:35Vegas and Colorado, 8 o'clock on ESPN.
00:56:37The entire Western Conference Final will be on ESPN.
00:56:41And our friends at Turner have the Eastern Conference Final.
00:56:46And Carolina itching to go undoubtedly.
00:56:48It'll be 12 days since they last played a game when they host the winner of this game in this
00:56:54series.
00:56:55In Raleigh, 8 o'clock Thursday night on TNT and HBO Max.
00:57:01I can't even imagine how Rod Brindamore has tried to make practice interesting.
00:57:06I know you give some days off, but after a while there's only so many drills in the book.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:11Chance though to get in some rounds at Old Chatham, which is a good alternative while you're filling time.
00:57:22Carolina back to back sweeps.
00:57:25And Colorado has lost only one game in these playoffs.
00:57:29That was to Minnesota.
00:57:31A lot of people think it's a collision course, Ray, between the abs and the Hurricanes,
00:57:36which won their respective conferences.
00:57:38I mean, it certainly appears that way, but you're going to tell those other two teams they don't have a
00:57:42chance.
00:57:43I don't think so.
00:57:44There's a lot of hockey to be played yet.
00:57:46100%.
00:57:47Slavkovsky down low.
00:57:48Caulfield a backhand.
00:57:50Kicked out by Lucanen.
00:57:53Banked back by Dobson.
00:57:56And now Lucanen will leave it for Byram.
00:57:59Went off to a hot start in these playoffs.
00:58:02Goals in three of the first four against Boston.
00:58:05One goal in the last eight since.
00:58:09They've had plenty of production from the defensemen.
00:58:13Their decor leads these playoffs in goals and in points.
00:58:17The backbone of their offense.
00:58:19Maybe they can ignite the Sabres tonight.
00:58:21Norris just runs over.
00:58:24Hudson.
00:58:24He gets back on his feet.
00:58:26Jack Quinn with Benson right in the blue paint.
00:58:29Quinn shot off the side of the net.
00:58:32Norris lost the battle for a moment with Hudson who gets knocked down again.
00:58:39Norris had it taken away by Dobson to Suzuki.
00:58:43And now Dahlin kept it in.
00:58:47Benson poked it along.
00:58:49Back in the line.
00:58:50Thompson.
00:58:51That one deflected.
00:58:52It's free.
00:58:53After it was batted out of the air by a high stick.
00:58:57Which brings a whistle and a face off in the Montreal end.
00:59:02That's the second time this period that Hudson and Dobson have been buried in their own zone.
00:59:08They were out for a minute and forty previously on that other shift.
00:59:12This one well over a minute.
00:59:13Hudson got knocked off the puck a couple of times.
00:59:15He made a good block there as he dove.
00:59:18And as Thompson drags and releases this puck.
00:59:22It's Hudson's block.
00:59:23The high stick from Dobson.
00:59:26And because he touches it, it's a high stick and the play is dead.
00:59:29Buffalo really had them on their heels in that last shift.
00:59:42Off the face off.
00:59:43Evans played it back.
00:59:45Matheson scaled it around.
00:59:47And wound up out of the rink.
00:59:49And another face off.
00:59:52Buffalo offense event.
00:59:54You see Samuelson pinching down the boards.
00:59:57The Sabres even early in the game, they were running down the walls.
01:00:00Pinching as much as they could.
01:00:02Trying to keep the play in the offensive zone.
01:00:05One thing that Lindy Ruff really liked in game six was once they got the puck.
01:00:11How quickly they moved and started to move the Montreal defenders along.
01:00:15They, he said they skated away from people and created space.
01:00:19And if you think of it, you're trying to create just a couple of feet.
01:00:23So you can receive a pass, make a pass.
01:00:25And Buffalo did it in game six.
01:00:27They haven't been able to do it on a consistent basis here in game seven.
01:00:33They've had the edge in offensive zone time.
01:00:36Haven't been able to get anything past Dovish yet.
01:00:39Lofted ahead by Matheson.
01:00:41Played down by Darlene to Thompson.
01:00:46Now Darlene off for Benson.
01:00:50Centering pass.
01:00:51Norris tried a one-timer.
01:00:53That got denied.
01:00:54And he got held off by Anderson.
01:00:59Thompson trying to take it back from Darlene.
01:01:01He got stopped by Darlene.
01:01:04And now it's Benson.
01:01:06Turn 21 during this series.
01:01:10Newhook plays it ahead.
01:01:11Here's Anderson in a load.
01:01:13And that one winds up over the net.
01:01:15And then Anderson went crashing into the net.
01:01:18And he's slow to get up along the back wall.
01:01:22And not far from him.
01:01:25A brief skirmish that is quickly broken up by the officials.
01:01:29And concern for the veteran Josh Anderson.
01:01:33And Jim Ramsey's the athletic therapist.
01:01:35He's out on the ice tending to Anderson.
01:01:38The Sabres got caught halfway through a change.
01:01:41And Anderson was up clean at the far blue line.
01:01:45The quick up sends him in the clear.
01:01:48Samuelson's coming back.
01:01:49Oh, he just loses an edge.
01:01:52Watch.
01:01:53Watch right here.
01:01:53He's going to toe pick.
01:01:54And down he goes.
01:01:56And right in the midsection he crashes into the net.
01:01:58There's no penalty here on Samuelson.
01:02:01Anderson's already down.
01:02:02And the second Canadian's breakaway missed in this game.
01:02:06In the first period.
01:02:08Texier had one in clean.
01:02:10This one Anderson shoots up over the net.
01:02:1532 year old veteran.
01:02:18Josh Anderson.
01:02:20Physical presence.
01:02:22He was great in that first series.
01:02:24That was the type of series where Anderson was going to make an impact.
01:02:28And he certainly did.
01:02:29There is gritty hard hitting.
01:02:31He has 39 hits in the playoffs which leads all Montreal forwards.
01:02:39Nice pass ahead to Dawn.
01:02:42But he couldn't get through.
01:02:43Caden Gouley.
01:02:44And the puck rolls to Dobish.
01:02:49Gouley's had a good night for the Canadians.
01:02:52He had an assist in that first period.
01:02:54A couple of really good blocks.
01:02:56He's a strong defender.
01:02:58Good skater.
01:02:58Former first round pick.
01:03:00And he angles this out perfectly as he doesn't get his feet turned too much.
01:03:04So there's nowhere for Doan to put the puck.
01:03:08He puts his feet facing up the ice.
01:03:11And so as Doan tries to cut back to the middle.
01:03:13It hits his skate.
01:03:14And goes away.
01:03:16Interesting on that shift.
01:03:18It wasn't.
01:03:19Gouley was on the ice rather with Dobson.
01:03:22It wasn't Hudson and Dobson.
01:03:23As they've had a couple of tough shifts.
01:03:27Suzuki skated it out.
01:03:28It's dumped in by Slavkovsky.
01:03:32Suzuki centers one.
01:03:33And a chance for Caulfield.
01:03:38Three on two for Buffalo.
01:03:40But it got broken up by Kerry at the line.
01:03:42And a quick counter by Suzuki.
01:03:46He tips a pass from Slavkovsky.
01:03:50UPL made the save.
01:03:51He's been solid tonight.
01:03:53Between the pipes for Buffalo.
01:03:55Zucker in deep.
01:03:57Gouley.
01:03:57Passed it off.
01:03:58And then he got a check from Helena's.
01:04:01Played along by Suzuki.
01:04:03Slavkovsky the handoff to Caulfield.
01:04:06Now one's knocked down by Lukanen.
01:04:1051 goals in the regular season for Caulfield.
01:04:15Three goals in this series.
01:04:16Two of them on the power play.
01:04:18At a three game goal streak snap in game six.
01:04:20But he does have points in four in a row entering tonight.
01:04:27Here's Jordan Greenway.
01:04:29Former Boston University Terrier.
01:04:33Malenstein.
01:04:34Taken to the corner by Bolduc.
01:04:37Now it comes back to the line.
01:04:38A long try by Timmons and a follow by Malenstein.
01:04:44Timmons to Samuelson.
01:04:46And that one's frozen by Dobish who didn't seem quite certain where it was.
01:04:53More than midway through this deciding game seven.
01:05:00Buffalo on the short end of a two to nothing score.
01:05:04The two hundred and third game seven.
01:05:07In Stanley Cup playoff history.
01:05:142-0 lead back at Key Bank Centre here in Buffalo.
01:05:17The Canadians with their two goals and many chances of those 16 shots have come from the slot.
01:05:25Here's the game's first goal off the foot of Phil Deneau.
01:05:28The Montreal top line has had several chances from the slot.
01:05:32Cole Caulfield's had three.
01:05:33Lukanen has been exceptional.
01:05:36And on the last shift a really good give and go.
01:05:39Slip Coff.
01:05:40Ski finds Nick Suzuki.
01:05:42Lukanen with the stop.
01:05:43But look at all those blue dots in between the circles.
01:05:46The two goals in between as well.
01:05:48They're getting into the middle of the ice into the house and forcing Lukanen to be sharp.
01:05:55Norris gets tossed from the face off.
01:06:00One nine out of ten tonight.
01:06:05Big reason why Buffalo has the edge in face offs overall.
01:06:0918 to 14.
01:06:13Thompson and Evans.
01:06:15And both imploring Devon Berg to drop the puck.
01:06:19As is the crowd.
01:06:21Well every time the offensive player moves the defensive player gets to set as well.
01:06:26And that was the delay as Buffalo kept moving.
01:06:29Well Matheson couldn't figure out what to do.
01:06:32Almost wound up as a chance for Benson out in front.
01:06:35Comes back to Thompson.
01:06:37He fanned on a pass.
01:06:38And it's rescued by Benson.
01:06:41Now Darlene.
01:06:43Touched in by Thompson.
01:06:45Benson chases after.
01:06:47Dobish plays it up the near wall to Matheson.
01:06:49Who played it cleanly off that time to Newhook.
01:06:53Here's Evans.
01:06:57Five game point streak for Evans.
01:07:01Came into tonight plus seven in this series.
01:07:05Best on either team.
01:07:06He's been terrific.
01:07:09Benson.
01:07:10Here's Byram with a pass.
01:07:12Elected to pass it into the corner from the middle of the circle.
01:07:15Now Power.
01:07:17Crown wants a shot.
01:07:19They're getting further away from the net.
01:07:21Power.
01:07:22Down low.
01:07:23McLeod.
01:07:24Thompson's out in front.
01:07:26And it winds up back of the line for Byram.
01:07:31McLeod had it hop over his stick and it's poked away by Matheson.
01:07:36Got taken back by Doan.
01:07:39Doan.
01:07:42Surveys.
01:07:43Still has it.
01:07:44Just on top.
01:07:46And that winds up on the near wall.
01:07:48Looked like it had Matheson out in front.
01:07:51Good.
01:07:51Here's Doan.
01:07:52Good pressure for Buffalo.
01:07:53Trying to get on the board.
01:07:54Rebound free.
01:07:56Here's another.
01:07:57And Tuck.
01:07:58Has it handled by Dobish.
01:08:02Alex Tuck has to wonder, what do I have to do?
01:08:07Stay with it.
01:08:09Keep shooting.
01:08:10The puck's got to go for you eventually.
01:08:12Another 90 second shift in the offensive zone.
01:08:16Byram's trying to go through to power.
01:08:19It goes right through the crease.
01:08:20Here's that chance from Tuck.
01:08:22But Dobish is square up.
01:08:24He's got his glove up in a really good catching position to take away more of the net.
01:08:29Tuck wants to go right under the bar.
01:08:31And he takes a look at it.
01:08:33You can only shake your head at this point.
01:08:34It's another chance.
01:08:35And so you keep telling yourself, it's going to go.
01:08:38It's going to go.
01:08:39But the chances will continue to come if Buffalo spends that much time in the offensive zone.
01:08:45Remember, Montreal locks on man to man.
01:08:48The more tired you get, the more gap you give when you're covering.
01:08:52Buffalo started to exploit that.
01:08:55Tuck, one of the few for Buffalo, has game seven experience.
01:08:59That came when he was in Vegas.
01:09:01That very controversial loss to San Jose.
01:09:05Here's a takeaway.
01:09:07Zucker had a hop over his stick.
01:09:09Under eight minutes to go, second period.
01:09:12Tuck grew up in Baldwinsville, New York, just outside Syracuse.
01:09:17A couple of hours from here, a Sabre fan.
01:09:20You know how much he wants to deliver for his team and this franchise.
01:09:26And he's hoping it's not the last game as a Buffalo Sabre.
01:09:29He's an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year.
01:09:32You know he wants to stay.
01:09:33They'd like to keep him if they can work it out.
01:09:36Pucks out of the rink.
01:09:37Seven and a half to go in the second.
01:09:38Here's Emily.
01:09:39Yeah, I actually spoke to Tuck before game six.
01:09:41And he told me that he missed some chances.
01:09:44Some grade A chances early in the series.
01:09:46And that affected his confidence.
01:09:47And he said it just snowballed for there.
01:09:49But he said, I've been in this league a long time.
01:09:51I've been in stretches like this.
01:09:52The only way out is will and determination.
01:09:54And the mantra he keeps telling himself is,
01:09:57what defines you is how you're going to come out of this.
01:09:59What I liked about that last chance, though, was it was inside.
01:10:03Too much of Tuck's game, even though he's got a lot of shots in this series
01:10:07and a lot of shot attempts, have come from outside the dots.
01:10:10If he can get himself inside, he's a big man that can shoot the puck.
01:10:13He's going to become more dangerous in there.
01:10:17Longest point drought of his playoff career.
01:10:19And he hasn't gone six games in a row without a point at any stretch since January of 2020.
01:10:25When he went nine games in a row without a point,
01:10:28well, a member of the VGK.
01:10:31Metza getting a rare shift.
01:10:33Greenway behind the net.
01:10:35Fourth line on for Lindy Ruff.
01:10:37Beck Malenstein back to the line.
01:10:39Metza did well to poke it away from Texier.
01:10:42He was looking to take it away and break away.
01:10:45Crabbs got shoved against the wall.
01:10:48He's another without a point in this series.
01:10:51After he had six in the series against Boston in the opening round.
01:10:55Greenway moved it quickly.
01:10:56Metza sends it back.
01:10:58Greenway trying to wrap around.
01:11:00He got double team.
01:11:01Allenstein out in front.
01:11:03Here's a shot and score!
01:11:05Matthias Samuelsson through the crowd!
01:11:09It's two to one!
01:11:29Oh yeah, this building comes alive.
01:11:32Matthias Samuelsson's shot will deflect off of Josh Anderson.
01:11:37Dobish has got no chance to see it as Jordan Greenway is set up sharp in front of the net.
01:11:45Samuelsson, who has had a career year, takes this puck off of Dobish's stick.
01:11:51His shot deflects off of Anderson and it's in the net.
01:11:55Only Columbus scored more goals from their blue line than Buffalo this season.
01:12:01The Sabres now another D goal.
01:12:04That's 12 in 13 games in the playoffs and Matthias Samuelsson has given these people something to cheer about.
01:12:13His fourth of the playoffs is second in this series.
01:12:16That's a four game point streak for Samuelsson.
01:12:20Nothing hasn't preceded or Leticia Samuels.
01:12:21It's completely capitale.
01:12:21Happy Hour!
