Buffalo Sabres vs. Toronto Maple Leafs | NHL Livestream (Live Reaction) – 3/6/24
okay ladies and gentlemen yes hello everyone hello hello hello it’s your boy dog we missed you Sawyer Middle set traded I know I created the thumbnail like last night and I of course all of you saw I made it public this morning I did not think Casey midad was getting traded but here we are but uh more importantly though Cal is back with us he is here tonight for the Sabers lease stream Cal how are you doing it’s good to be back I’m feeling way better uh we had quite quite a rough stretch there you know still not completely normal but I’m feeling a lot better um and i’ just like to say we did get our merch in today so as you guys see here Nar call William matar proud partners with them now so uh check them out uh don will have a shirt as as well coming up within the next couple weeks so be on the lookout for that but yeah it’s it’s been an absolute absolutely hectic day chaotic day for the City of Buffalo first of all let’s let’s talk about this before the game starts Casey middle stat big one for one swap things you barely see ever in the NHL nowadays one for one I know we all look at one for one we think Shay Weber PK suban and that whole shebang but yeah even swap there I think both teams you know got what they were kind of looking for again it’s tough for Colorado giving up a a young Prospect not Prospect but you know young upand Comer like that with that being said getting Casey middlestead is definitely going to help them on their quest to try to win the Stanley Cup this year and then from the Savers point of view it just doesn’t look like the Savers had any interest resigning Casey middle to a long-term deal which is probably what he would have wanted so I think it works out for both teams and again who knows maybe you end up signing Casey midat in the future in a free agency period because I think he does have you know that relationship with those guys so yeah I think overall a lot of people are saying Buffalo won this trade uh but I do see a lot of Buffalo homers very sad that Casey midad is gone which I will agree with that it’s gonna it’s going to be tough not having Miss I’m really sad I explained in my video I so this is my third thing now for the channel today had a video on the Sabers then Brandon Bean decided to go off we’ll talk about that real soon and then now the live stream but I I repeat what I said in the video um I’m really disappointed to see Casey go I’m very very sad I I was one of the Casey’s biggest supporters I thought he was a really good player for this team and I’m just really disappointed that he’s gone although I am somewhat excited for Bo bym I’m I’m happy to see him in Buffalo I’m happy to see as well that we finally have a top three core now and I’d like to see one more defenseman added to that pot but the sabes Decor I think is starting to look really solid absolutely is and I mean that that side is absolutely stacked I know they’re interchangeable everyone can play left and right on defense it doesn’t matter but I mean you look at that side you have Dalene you have samelson you have power and now Byam I mean this is an absolutely stacked decor and that is exactly what this team needed I think defense clearly was our biggest need in the off season Kevin Adams goes out there Clifton Eric Johnson neither one does the job I think Clifton has had some up moments he’s had some decent moments so I guess having Clifton in the next season isn’t too bad I I you know as a third pair defenseman I won’t mind him too much uh but as a second pair defenseman it just doesn’t cut it and I mean we’ll see what happens the rest of the way but I I think the Savers are fully ready to throw in the towel here at the trade deadline I think Eric Johnson pretty much gone kyak poso pretty much gone I’m gurgenson might be gone and hey I mean I didn’t expect Casey midat to get traded so you never know what Kevin Adams is going to do he could do some more Blockbusters on Friday we’ll see what happens but I truly think this offseason is when Kevin Adams truly has that you know Big Move big slate lined up where he’s GNA make those big signings big trades to get us to that next level which is something he didn’t really do last offseason yeah and uh he did say did he I saw the Buffalo News article this past week about Kevin Adams talking about a retool um not necessarily a rebuild but a retool and we’ve already started to see that and it did say in that article yes that this summer it sounds like uh it sounds like it’s going to go crazy and Elliot Freedman just came on on TNT and said that he wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo made another move or two here at the deadline I think he’s referring to Eric Johnson yeah although about kyoso K it really seemed like only one team was in on aoso and and that was the New York Rangers and I don’t know if you I’m sure you saw the news earlier about uh the Rangers acquiring Alex wenberg to be their fourth line or third line wide right winger so I’m wondering now does that take away the market for a postal because outside of the Rangers I haven’t heard any other team really interested maybe Boston yeah again there’s teams like Toronto that always seem to get one or two fourth line you know playoff guys for their push and there’s other teams like that in the league a lot of these teams that are know Fringe playoff teams or you know maybe even lacked in playoff teams already by this point they’re always looking for guys like kyak poo and I get it I get it kyak poso is not the player he once was I think everyone in Buffalo wants him gone to be honest because he’s really clogging up that pipeline of young prospects who should be playing but uh you know it is what it is we’ll see what happens with him I do think he gets traded um I feel like it’s only right I think the only thing stopping him from getting traded to a team even if he’s just going to be a fourth line you know or rotational guy the only thing stopping that is kyoso himself maybe saying you know what I got a family here I’m only on contract one more year how about we just end it this year end it with the Savers and retire we could see that happening but if I’m kyak poo I mean you’ve played in the NHL for how long now go try to get that cup right you know don’t don’t hold yourself back from moving away from your family for a couple months to you know never have that chance to make the playoffs and you know win a cup like that so you know I know he’s been in the playoffs before with the Islanders but you know never really had a a great look at that so hopefully he gets a chance with another team you know because he certainly put his time in in Buffalo and I get he’s getting overpaid but you know he’s he’s one of those guys that I don’t mind it too much just because he brings that amount of effort to the rank every day yeah and uh well other than that I was also reading up about zenis gurgenson he’s been another hot button topic here for Buffalo and I know a lot of people aren’t gonna like it but Cal I’m embracing I’m embracing you for this it does seem like gurgenson may be coming back even next season it does and I mean again I’m one of those guys who wanted like poo and gurgenson gone I mean there are so many prospects on this team this team is so young I get that you want these veterans these older guys to help these young guys come up but right now both those guys are just clogging up that lineup and it’s clear as D what it’s doing I mean you you have guys in the AHL who should have been on the team you know from day one this season that are just not getting the looks I mean Yuri kulick being one of them isack Rosen the list goes on and on Brandon boo could have got a look Lucas rusek and some of these guys you know would have way better production again a guy like Z gurgenson KY like posto they’re not super physical it’s not like they’re helping you in the physical game they’re not really helping you on the offense they’re not very great defensively because they’re so slow at this point in their career I know Zenus Genson has speed when he uses it but overall that just the game speed’s no longer there on either of the those guys more so aoso but you know both guys have great IQ but they they should both be traded at the deadline if you’re Kevin Adams get those guys get whatever you can for him and give those guys a chance to go win a cup with the team and be on their fourth line and play that playoff Style hockey that you know is so different from that regular season hockey we see in the NHL yeah and uh that’s going to be have to be our last word on it both teams are on the ice ready to go TNT cut straight to the action here ilas m sonof in at for the Toronto Maple leags peka Lucan in anet for the Buffalo Sabres and we are off ladies and gentlemen first period is underway between these two teams wow sabes uh put out their fourth line out here early on Robinson sends a pass through the crease gots it its way to aoso now aoso to the point for Bryson his slapper off the end well finds Robinson at the near side post couldn’t get a clean shot off and the maple leavs will get their first touch of the puck here in this game going up ice come the Maple Leafs they’re trying to break in but that didn’t work out come on Eric do something magic here Eric Robinson I thought he’s been really good I’ve been seeing a lot more people kind of warm up to him and uh I’m glad for that Robinson has been a very solid pickup by Uh Kevin Adams since Whatchamacallit since being traded here but anyways leaves early opportunity Brody with a quick one timer onto the net Sabers flipped this one out of the zone to Center rice it’s uh taken down there by Timothy lilligren lilligren a y to Brody Brody trying to go up ice but his pass was off the mark and now Skinner can go back the other way for the Sabers Skinner crosses finds tuck tuck just had that puck loose and Es skates retrieves it again at the end board Skinner Skinner trying to find this or Tage was trying to find Skinner and now tuck collapsing on the pressure in front of the net Toronto gets around it they force it down the ice Dalene is there along with Lucan in with some heavy for checking there cross check right on the back of Dalene there no call Bobby mccan was the one who threw the hit on but the Sabers continue to play here Yoki aru finds Dalene delene hanging on to his own zone now drifts the one off to petka makes a couple of moves before dishing it out to cousins cousins now will throw it to the far Corner first one there is Tyler berzi he’ll lift this one back to Center ice neander on the puck had it stolen away and the Sabers again can try this once more dumping this one in Greenway now on the line with cousins and PKA here tonight Toronto turns it over nearly in their own zone now DOI gets onto it will skate his way with speed into the sabers and throws this one below the goal line Ryan Johnson he had his first point in this building a couple months ago K on a beautiful feed of Jeff Skinner yeah he did and Ryan Johnson’s been one of those guys this year that you know up and downs throughout his whole uh his whole year but overall I think he’s having a great rookie year and here he comes now leading the rush finds Clifton to the outside just over the blue line he goes puts it in there’s ilushin his first action of the game oh hello old friend ilel leushin is there I love that Toronto Toronto fans are trying to make believe that this guy is going to be really good and help them get a cup sorry it’s not that that’s not who he is but yeah not how it’s going to work Benson good job to keep it in at the line now he tries to get a return pass here pass goes through everybody was looking for Owen power all the way at the point he’s got to go out to Center I here now try to squeak this one back on the near side boards but Morgan Riley takes it away for Toronto finds Austin Matthews he’ll peel back to Brody out wide again to Riley he’ll shoot this one into the Sabers end power on the far side Banks this one along for Bryson nearly got coughed up with it now he turns it over Brody was there gives it to Mitch Marner straddles that blue line throws one towards the net it’s nice save by Lucan and the rebound or the wrap around by Matthew n also stopped by Lucan and Sabres take the puck now can go back up ice with Peyton Krebs who you expect to see in a more expanded role with Casey middl gone yeah he’s he’s going to definitely be your third line center now so no more complaints about that which is good and if Don Granado doesn’t do it then oh I wonder what his beef truly is with KBS yeah it’s the new Jeff Skinner to his Ralph Krueger yeah exactly tono trying to go back up ice they have all three of the first shots here in this game Marner gets dragged down fans kind of wanted to call half-heartedly though as we move on referees were like nah I’m good oh now we have a whist I think for a high stick though so played it with a high stick so we’ll get a whistle there but uh Toronto looking pretty good here early on sabr not having not much of an offensive uh offensive shout here Kell yeah are you watching on HBO yes okay I am I’m behind on TNT so I’m gonna try to log in Max okay Max Max Savers win the face off they’ll throw this one into the Toronto Zone uh tuck is first one up on the four check but he miss misses the puck Toronto trying to get this one out on the near side boards Conor Clipson doing a good job pinching down there but Toronto will get it out now yarn crook trying to go forward with speed he finds tarz tarz almost got around Ryan Johnson he did a good job to brush him off now he throws it to the front of the net nearly turned it over there that could have been really bad for uh Buffalo but Tage has it Charlie what’s going on yes KY uh our stud should be playing the lines one through three fourth line gurgenson and vets are okay I don’t know Don really Don Granado really seems to like those fourth liners those fourth line bums not sure why Tage throws his one into the torono Zone Simone benois benois trying to go through Center his pass misplaced finds cousins cousins trying to dance his way into the Toronto Zone turns the puck over now Toronto gets the puck back they finally get their way up ice but they also turn it over Greenway looking for a little thread pass through the middle it’s turned over neander in on the far side didn’t take the shot shot peels it back to the line leushin barely kept it in now the Sabers looking for that Breakaway pass but it was just outside the reach of PKA and will come back for a nicing so we have a whistle there Cal how far behind are you it’s it’s a good amount but I’m I’m getting on Max now so we’ll get it we’ll get it going yeah I don’t know if you saw the last stream I had to do it all on stream East because uh oh and I forgot that NHL Network existed and that was the Sabers jet game was on NHL Network for out of toos one of the worst things ever created Toronto wins that off yeah Toronto wins that offensive zone face of cousins now trying to break out of the Zone here after stealing it back Sabres do but only get to the Center Ice Line before Toronto squeeze it squeezes it back from them nce dumps this into the Sab corner with speed beats out Yoki aru there can’t beat out gurgenson though gurgenson has it along the near on the far side boards gives it to Bryson Bryson turns it over behind the net Sabers steal it back again it’s aoso the captain he could get traded flips it forward to a fellow trade candidate gurgenson he falls over as he pushes this one below the Toronto goal line Savers now on the back foot here as Riley moves up ice Riley Banks this one to The Far Side for Mitch Marner Marner peels trying to Center this one to Austin Matthews and Marner gets decked on the play now the Sabres have some space going back the other way but Eric Robinson turns the puck over try to go between the legs of the defenseman now he has it again on the backhander after the turnover but that one did get all the way through to Samson off and Toronto can get this one out of the zone now power at Cent turns it over but Toronto again turns it right back over Krebs trying to for check his way there Bill’s cleaning house tonight to get under the cap yeah and uh we’ll talk about all what we think about the bills moves at the first inter Mission most likely whenever we have our first chance here but Krebs trying to get off the ice turns it over neander down the far side but he skates over the puck delene Has It Centers this one to Jacob Bryson Bryson now moving up the ice with speed finds Benson Benson now to Bryson ushers this one to The Far Side for Krebs Krebs now to the point a quick shot off the B and boards to Krebs Krebs battling trying to get to the front of the net he cannot verzi does a good job to beat him out to that one and there’s Victor Olson hello Victor we oh boy he’s playing tonight ladies and gentlemen with Casey middle Al Lucas r not up from Rochester yet uh Victor Olson is playing a hockey game for the Buffalo Savers Greg what’s going on Toronto gets this one down the ice not far enough for an icing Johnson immediately throws his one up the boards two Center ice for Alex tuck tuck drops it for Tage Tage makes one move makes him another man miss goes up The Far Side finally has to beat out leushin and leushin wins that battle now Tage took a tumble behind the play but Toronto keeps on moving now here they come mccan up the ice throws it to The Far Side for yarn crook yarn crook his pass picked off by Buffalo and look at Jacob Bryson moving up the ice with speed here’s Bryson Down The Far Side throws this around to looking for Jeff Skinner but had it picked off by John tarz still no shots on the board here for Buffalo almost eight minutes into the game so don’t want to see that yeah that’s that’s great that is absolutely great I mean again can’t score if you don’t shoot the puck and uh the Sabers have had plenty of games where don’t get enough shots on they’ve also had the opposite of you know you can recall that Dallas Stars game kind of right after the All-Star break where they put 40 something shots on and scored what one goal fun Toronto will throw a long range rer all the way in on and it will be gloved down by Lucan so at least Lucin has been able to get settled into the game but uh it appears to T TNT maybe go into a commercial break here yep they were they we good I don’t think I’m going be able to get into max we’re get like 20 seconds behind but we’ll make it work yeah K will be able to get a second look at everything poor guy yeah hello Victor my old friend I’ve come to talk to you again good old Victor yeah there’s there’s there there’s a guy who we thought should have been traded three deadlines ago right Cal yeah I mean Victor Olson one of those guys that just seems like they they can never get enough for him right they can never get you know as much as they want and every time he starts playing good they hold on to him too long yeah yep and uh well we certainly did that he had 28 goals last year that would have certainly seemed like the time to do it unfortunately no nope not possible but yeah Sabres are really struggling here getting any shots on and any pressure in the offensive zone so hopefully they get a TV timeout and Don Granado can do his thing but K there’s another thing we haven’t really mentioned so far tonight and I seen the chat started lighting lighting up his name Lindy Ruff yeah now that’s an old friend right there that truly is it I mean Lindy Ruff again he’s I believe 64 years old now um he could definitely be a a potential potential guy for the Buffalo Savers I know in 2019 I believe it was he was on channel 2 news and said he would be very open returning to Buffalo that obviously didn’t happen when the Sabres decideed to hire Ralph Krueger they hired a soccer coach over Lindy Ruff so do I see them hiring Lindy Ruff again probably not I think I probably see them sticking with Don Granado next year unfortunately or fortunately again ronado is put in a tough spot this year and again I I do think some of the some of the fault goes on him but when your GM does nothing and you know your team is expected to outperform last year which every single player had above goals expected above points expected I mean they they couldn’t miss last year so you knew you weren’t getting the same production this year as you did last year I think this season pretty much is as expected um from a from a Outsiders view but we’ll see what happens again if they fired uh Granado and hire Lindy ref I won’t be mad I won’t be complaining I think that’ll be cool but I do think there are a lot of other names that will be available too so if Granado’s gone I think the Savers are going to have quite a few good op and I don’t really think you could go wrong unless you hire another soccer coach well Terry has done it once he could certainly do it again hey I know Rex Ry is still available why not go football go the other side yeah yeah Rex and Rob man of the bench I mean I think the biggest thing too I mean if you could get if you could get Lindy Ruff just in the system that would be huge for the fans again maybe an assistant coach maybe you know part of the front office I think that would be sick um yeah I see truth talking about Matt Alice Matt Ellis is I know he’s the genius that Drew up that overtime winner and you know all that they couldn’t stop giving him enough not not a great assist they couldn’t stop giving him credit it’s like every single bad thing is it’s on us it’s on the players the players when something good happens it’s all Matt it was all Matt that was all him but the Sabers finally have some offensive zone pressure here they get a shot off it I don’t think it made it all the way through to Samson off but now post to trying to cut towards the middle of the ice nearly did so before neander stepped in and broke that play up and now the Toronto can go back up byce but a risky pass nearly picked off by Genson Toronto lucky to survive after that one Puck goes behind the net Lucan in is there gets some help from own power takes a heavy check there from Max DOI don’t like him he’s a fun funny funny little guy and uh the Sabres can go up ice Rob Ryan assistant yes he should there’s oh Bryson with a long range shot barely missed on the tip by gurgenson Sabers still don’t have a shot on goal though it’s over halfway through the first not not not even one we have it in the far Corner though it’s ol said what can Mr Vo do nice play to step out of the corner with the puck gets it to Krebs now to the point but turnover there committed by Ryan Johnson Toronto now with yarn crook H yarn crook can slow things down as they all get some line changes here so here comes yeah we’re playing Toronto and I mean you think of Ryan Reeves and I mean what what do we think about um you know fighting every day because obviously the Rangers got this young kid who um you know made it his mission to fight everyone he could in the first couple weeks and I mean I think that’s sick I think you know I don’t really think it really shows toughness or all that or you know but but I think fighting is a massive part of the game of hockey and I think you know it’s kind of a lost art so I I was definitely a fan of it but you know seeing his face after a couple of those fights just absolutely puffed up I mean is it really worth it I I don’t know how to feel about fighting as we go to a commercial break I I I I don’t think it’s worth it every night every single game now if you want to do that in the playoffs go by go ahead the Rangers are going to be in the playoffs and it seems like met Ry has played himself into a playoff roster spot just for some sheltered fourth line minutes where he can go screw some people’s some people up um but I don’t know if I’d like to see it every night in the regular season he’s he’s only been in the league for about two weeks now and his face is just like you said puffy up it’s black it’s bruised it’s you know he looks like an oldtime fighter and uh I don’t know it’s just if it really changes the game I guess but I I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary yeah I mean I like the chippiness and all that but if you’re just fighting a fight not really worth it at this point um I mean we’ve seen some of those fights where those guys you know I mean you’re on ice right you could slip and boom right on your head you see that Whiplash that you know that’s honestly probably the scariest injury you can get from a fight is falling down and having your head just slam into the ice so that’s definitely something that they’ve tried to weave out of the game but I mean I think it’s still a massive part of the game when you see these two teams you know I’m not talking you know Savers and leafs but let’s say that it was actually a rivalry again and both teams were doing good and all of a sudden you know you got guys going back and forth shipping us back and forth and you see these guys you know unfortunately you only see them what four times now but you know back in the day it used to be what eight or nine yeah I mean those those games were some serious serious uh just absolute you know craziness because you know you’d have some of these fights some of these guys would fight every time they’d match up that is what made hockey fun and unfortunately you don’t have that with the new schedule and the way it works and you know you get those Calgary Edmonton rivalries that are cool and all but I mean what they see each other twice or whatever and then all of a sudden you’re done so it’s not as fun as it used to be but also I guess it is more fair all right sabes after that defensive Zone face up try to go into the Toronto Zone but it results in a two on the other way here comes Yar crook with a shot they redirected on goal and Lucan made the stop both times good save by him Savers trying to go up ice it’s the fourth line out there love to see them getting a lot of minutes here in the first period with zero shots on goal nice love that you love to see it okay that two on was brutal from Yoki har you just got blew by yeah and that wasn’t even a fast that was yard crook of all people it was C Cali yard crook not necessarily the the fastest guy in the league right now but Sabers trying to go up ice here’s Tage hangs on to the puck on near side corner Tage trying to generate some space gets it to Skinner Skinner looking for tuck but well actually it’s kept in at the line power his pass through the high slot almost found Tage now Matthews has it stripped for him oh come on that’s not off sides tuck thought it wasn’t either he was it was about to be on two-on-one Sabres you thought would were about to get a shot on goal but no the referee calls it back for an off sides and now TNT doing a little profile here on bow and Byrum who just of course everyone knows if you’re sa fan bow byon the defenseman from Colorado who just got traded here uh in exchange for Casey middle rip Casey rip my thumbnail as well um yeah but shots still favoring Toronto 6 nothing but generally these matchups they’re always entertaining folks but watch out turn over here bruzi looking cross ice with that pass had it picked off by Greenway now Greenway with some difficulty here gets it off the near side boards gets it out of the zone as well and the Sabers looking to generate some speed the other way here comes Greenway a wi to petka why is PKA looking for that pass not necessary and now Greenway has a stick how up there totally tied up by William legon and now we got a whistle there along the end boards and it’s it’s because Sam son off’s mask is off and he’s kind of hunched over in a little bit of pain it looks a little woozy there not sure exactly what happened but Sam sonof currently talking to the referee we’ll see what happened on this replay if T oh yeah I saw it from the from the front view here Greenway and one the least players there kind of bumped into him a little bit as they went into the corner and The Mask just popped off it was Max domy I believe who got the the who came by and cliffed him with a stick yeah looks like he got hit with a stick in maybe the neck area no I actually I don’t know don’t looks like a shoulder maybe either way he got Twisted look like stick blade got up on him there yeah yeah last Casey in blue and gold thumbnail yeah exactly truth it’s unfortunate but it is what it is Rip case definitely sad but you know it again it is what it is it’s a business and you had to break up the want oh they want to be here group because it just didn’t work this year right so I think that was a statement by Kevin Adams and you know you get you get a guy that fits the Bold he’s young high potential lots of speed eager on offense so we’ll see if it works out for the Sabers but again if they weren’t going to resign Casey middle set you had to trade them because you’re not going to give them away for free so that was what they decided to do yep and uh the Sabers I don’t Jordan greenw is chilling there but Donan turns it over in his own Zone under serious pressure from David camp Camp along with mccan now behind the net McAn gets taken down fans again wanting a call they I think they want to call in almost every single hit that their guy falls down from but there’s Maan battling with Yoki aru Yoki aru fishes it to the corner gets it to cousins but he can’t get it out of the Zone Riley now below the goal line to mccan or Noah Gregor excuse me that’s not McAn Noah Gregor to The Far Side there reev sitting in front of the net now the Sabers turn it over what why are we going for the Breakaway pass when no one’s there why are we doing that guys Jordan Greenway get on the same page pal God you’re useless 6 and a half minutes left in this first period still no shots on net for Toronto they are controlling the game at the moment folks but I wouldn’t say it’s totally domination here’s Matthews to Mar behind the net you just saw it yeah great pass there yeah I just look this this is going to how it’s be all this is how it’s going to be all night K’s going to be laughing at something dumb the Sabers do yeah but anyways Sabers In Their Own Zone here the first line for Toronto trying to put on the pressure here Clifton now up the near side boards can’t get it out second try he will gets it just across that blue line legon for the leaves fishes It Forward hands it just behind Clifton Clifton has to go back for it goes cross ice what are the lines Krabby with petka uh I think right now it’s uh Benson no looks like Benson’s now going off the ice I can’t Bon Olson yeah they’re making a change I don’t know right now it’s Benson Ola and Krabs say that was out there when I was watching but Toronto now and there some that’s Robinson it’s a gurgenson Oso and Robinson right out there but Robinson nice feed inside to Oso he steps back outside lilligren puts on some pressure now he Center to gurgenson his shot just go went wide at the far corner now Bryson down low to Robinson makes a corner goes to the front of the net poster with a couple wax headed now centers this one again goes to the Far Point move tow drag by Johnson is shot stopped by Samson offs finally a shot on goal gurgenson now to Bryson nice move at the Blue Line Bryson now peels it back another shot tipped just wide Samson off I think maybe a got a piece of it Robinson here fishes it all the way to the point Ryan Johnson now plays it downo to poo three shots in fact for this for fourth line here aoso now trying to Center this one he’s drawing a penalty as well Sabers are going to go to the power play Johnson with another long range effort on Samson off that’s easily patted away Sab somehow still maintain control of it Toronto guy just had his Li stick totally lifted there so the Sabers control play here with four shots on that last shift so never mind about the Sabers getting dominating the shot count and now finally the Savers throw this one into the Toronto Zone samsonoff touches up on it and the Savers are at the first Power Play opportunity of the evening I did see who got the hooking call there looks like uh was it lilligren yeah it was Timothy lilligren yanked back on the uh the gloves of Oso easy call in the end for the referees and the Savers are going to the power play when they return from a commercial yeah I just saw the Sabers turn the puck over there to have the Leafs touch up and I don’t know what T is doing they come across and he just Chucks it in there it’s like they didn’t even want possession there but yeah Sabers power play has been goodly lately I and you know that’s something we haven’t really been able to say all season uh but all of a sudden it’s kind of heating up so we’ll see if they can continue that looks like Tage Thompson’s getting a little more healthy you know starting to put that one t on a little more which is certainly helping the power play to say the Le absolutely uh Greenway cousins JJ Tage Skinner tuck yeah the old line the old crew Getting Back Together uh why the heck is olon playing Charlie mainly because the Sabres do not have any more forwards I I don’t think Rado cuz Lucas rusek he did get called up but remember that Toronto is two hours away from rochest or two hours away from Buffalo which is an hour away from Rochester and I think rusek got called up at like 6 or 5 so there was nowhere it was not even going to be close for rusek to be able to drive to Toronto my guess is that the boys will drive back to Buffalo or maybe fly to Buffalo and they all fly to Nashville together either way he’s going to meet him in Nashville that’s what I think will happen so maybe on uh tomorrow actually tomorrow uh yep we can see Lucas Rusk back in the sabers Jersey if the my camera’s G to go off here for like two seconds and we’ll be back oh my God Cal oh my God forehead yeah no now you’re invisible Cal you you are talking on the peripheral peripheral no one can see you they can only hear you poor guy anyways well Cal does that Sabers Sab back onto the ice here getting ready for their first Power Play opportunity of the night I will say i’ I kind of crapped on the fourth line here early in this game but they did good there they got three shots and goal and were’re able to draw a penalty so really excellent shift from Kyle poosu in particular and they maintained the puck for a good amount of time too after that penalty was drawn so yeah great great shift and uh ladies and gentlemen I give you our gamely or nightly moment where the Sabers lose the face off immediately on the power play and Toronto throws it back down into The Zone and here we go with the drop passes yes one there was two Tage to cousins Tage now gets it to Dalene across a tuck tuck to the front of the net bouncing there Samson off’s goingon to have to cover it up and make the save took a deflection off a marner’s skate I believe so almost had Samson off fooled there Sab somewhat close to a uh goal there I know samsonov hasn’t had the greatest of Seasons here for Toronto I remember that n93 game did you go to that game k no no I was not there I know a couple my friends that went to that but anyway Sabres lose the face off here Toronto throws it out of the zone two Center eyes for Tage Tage now giving it to cousins he drops it back for do now inside the Tage who tries to make a move turns the puck over gets it right back again though at the Blue Line crosses it over very slowly here here’s Tage on the near side boards Tage still has it Banks this one off the skate of Skinner Skinner now to D but he haded his stick lifted there by neander Sabres are forced to retreat again cousins trying to go across that blue Lane he does he gets some space blue sweaters around him though cousins forced to turn back now at the blue line hold it in buddy no he cannot great and now it’s a two-on-one short-handed maybe for Toronto nope Camp is all alone here does the spin arama move out oh he undressed alen there and uh well Camp couldn’t get a shot on goal But Here Comes Tage Thompson with speed back the other way Tage to the boards though cut off from his an angle to the net puck now in the near side corner cousins digging away at it Toronto now gets it out one final time 30 seconds left Sabres knowing them they won’t be able to get back into the Zone I really we have some breaking news uh the Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms with quarterback Mitchell trabis no so that is confirmed so the the Bills news continues and yeah we’ll we’ll be able to talk about that later in the Stream but that happened all right Sabers with the power play winding down KBS with a shot nice blocker save by Samson off now in front Greenway with a one-time great save rebound is in the net maybe samsonov had it on the line aoso thought it was in the net no they’re going to wave it off no no goal it was a behind the back feed from Greenway ooso sitting all alone in front he put it straight on goal and Sam sonov must have gotten a piece of it and just looking back on that KB shot that shot was labeled for the far Corner Savers coming oh so close to getting their first of the game wow yeah but mitell Mitchell triski I missed you hello why are we getting all of these bombs again huh is this necessary it’s going to be a it’s going to be a fun year for the bills that is for sure let’s take a look at this replay here let’s see I mean I posto seemed pretty convinced it was in at first and T is not going to show us replay okay y just uh lost right over it yeah good job production team yep okay that was fun just keep well we have the referees actually over on the near side Press Box it looks like yeah the referees are going to get the headsets on this may have they’re going to look at this yeah and TNT has still refused oh no here we go now we got a replay of it we’ll get a replay so aoso was camped out in front here there was a the shot from Samson off that was way earlier in the play though guys can we can we speed it up a bit speed it up speed it up come on okay now keep in mind the replay Center is in Toronto so any call that is made is 100% bias yeah but there’s there’s the overhead angle nothing conclusive there the inet angle nothing conclusive also there I don’t think they’re going to give this one k it’s very unlikely unless we have a clear shot of the uh puck in the net but we just don’t have any maybe on the line maybe inside on that along that post if we get another angle to front there yeah I mean you can’t really see anything from the angles they shown so far um but it’s still in an official review the referees are looking now oh here they come out to Center ice now we have a no goal yeah as expected no goal from the referees there just wasn’t anything conclusive yeah but a poster really did think he was in and Sams he was in the net there was there was a p there was a argument for it but there just wasn’t any conclusive angles of the puck fully across that goal line but here we go sabes right off the face off send another shot towards Samson off and you know for having almost 16 minutes of no shots on goal they’re suddenly up to Aiden they’re out shooting Toronto so once you look at that here comes Toronto into the saber Zone that high shot wide of Lucan and Puck dribbles all the way back to the point here bruzi slides it down low to tarz tarz just missed it now but he gets some help there I think that was Yar crook yarn crook though couldn’t beat out the pressure and now the Savers can go back up ice Robinson trying to feed it forward to a streaking aoso and Genson couldn’t get any farther though than tarus on the near side boards dalen lets his one go into the Zone he gets hit there by berui but Dalene coolly steals it back from him but he can’t get out of the Zone neander on the far board good pick there by Robinson and now he gives it to cousins cousins with speed up the near side or up The Far Side excuse me goes across the Blue Line before he hasn’t stripped off his stick rally for the leafes turns it over to PKA PKA finds Greenway across the blue line has it shoots it nice easy save for samsonov Bryson now into the Toronto Zone Bryson on the far side just kind of whacking away at that getting that one down low for cousins cousins trying to get out of the corner plays this pass to the point across to power power holds passes it again to Bryson his shot def flect just wide of Samson off Greenway again on the near side boards has it can’t get away from Riley though and Riley is going to fire this one out of the Zone here yeah but the Sabers have nine consecutive shots folks so they have started to turn it up after that second TV timeout only 30 seconds to go here in this first period Sabres are starting to wake up tonight they survived an early Toronto onslaught now hey they’re still in this game and at least they’re not trailing Cal yeah I mean that’s one of those uh stats that we seen to see every single night right the Sabers are always losing one- nothing within the first couple minutes of the game and the Sabers are a very bad team when they do not score the first goal so good to see that the Sabers are going to get out of this first period knotted up at zero yep and they will that’s the end of one folks score remains nothing nothing shots in favor of Buffalo 96 Greg random question is the camera in the goal in the same spot for every team yes yeah well it’s mainly just there in case there potentially is an angle sometimes the goalies aren’t that deep but when the goalies are that deep into their own net Yeah It’s just tough to really see where the hell that puck truly is because it could have been in we just don’t have an angle of it nothing conclusive yeah that’s a tough one too because in the NFL you have that pylon cam yeah that you know it’s easi it’s outside the field of play I mean technically it’s in but not really in the NHL you can’t put a camera in the post can you I mean maybe in the future you could put a small camera inside of the post right on that goal line but right now nothing like that really exists that would be protected in that post and you’re obviously not going to have an exterior camera on the net that would get broken within you know a couple minutes so yeah uh yeah not really any any real way to implement a quote unquote pylon cam in the NHL but you know they try they have some different angles I think they could do a better job they probably could but I it’s just not feasible but do you live in Buffalo well K I know you live in a certain spot in Buffalo would you like to give every your address please yeah yeah I’m I’m I’m near the the Buffalo area Don is not right now but uh I will be this next week we’ll be coming back home yeah uh May every once in a while oh yeah may may go to one of the Savers games next week been looking at that sa Detroit game next Tuesday night yeah that one apparently I have I might be able to get discounted tickets with some fundraiser that someone I don’t know so I might be at that one as well but we’ll see what happens there while I’m in NASCAR they put cameras on the track so they definitely can make small Crazy Ones yeah I they do do that uh you know under the asphalt or you know concrete whatever they use depending on the track in NASCAR I know you can definitely put one in then put you know a small glass pass over it it won’t really affect it I just don’t know how that would work in the NHL um well will they do something like that in the future I almost guarantee it but right now the technology just isn’t there and the NHL always seems to lag behind um other leagues a little bit in in the form of technology so I I wouldn’t get your hopes up that anything like that is coming in the future yeah but K what what did you think about the series in that first period did you like it did you hate it why would you rate it I mean I I’d give it a solid B if we’re GR in it uh I I thought they got out to a slow start which you know we’re used to seeing it seems 80% of Savers game start off very slow for the Savers then they started to get it going and you mentioned that fourth line really seemed to get it going I mean they got those three four shots right off the bat uh on that shift then ooso Dr the penalty has a chance Greenway has a chance and all of a sudden the power play kind of lets him down but also nine straight shots to end out that third period so you know Toronto gets those six early shots and buffalo gets nine shots and that was one of the tamest uh you know NHL periods I think we’ve seen all year and I’m not complaining that’s the game the Savers want to play You’re without Casey middle stat tonight um so I guess you just kind of got a coast in this one and it’s a it’s against Toronto too so I fully expect it to be like five to four at the end of the second but right now super tame game and you know it is what it is and I think the Sabres are completely fine with that yeah typically and we even saw it earlier this year 93 then 64 uh during the first meeting between these two teams in Toronto um Tage really has had a less than spectacular year to be honest yeah I think everyone has but the fact that he’s still not he’s he’s only producing at a 50 point pace and the Sabres are still 500 imagine if they were producing at offensive rates they were last year and they also you could put together the upo goal tending master class that he has had since January God ah you you put this version of UPL on the team last year and they are that team is Unstoppable but unfortunately you can never have the two together right it’s always something this year of all things it’s the offense that’s not producing enough and you know the defense is still very weak which is unfortunate but I think that’s something Kevin Adams is going to clean up and I think his job relies on cleaning that up in the off season so I I have faith in Kevin Adams I think they’ll they’ll do a lot in offseason and potentially some some uh preludes to what they’re going to do uh tomorrow or Friday starting with dumping off some of those old guys like we talked about but you did mention I I know these NHL intermissions are quite long so we we have a lot of time to fill you did mention you know some stuff about the bills and the bills had a day let’s just say if you saw Casey middle set was the biggest news of the day you didn’t see what the bills did because they decided to release an eighth of the team out of nowhere no one expected you know today to be the day uh nothing really you know stuck out to us but I mean I let’s go in chronological order of when stuff happened today so Casey M Stack is done we already talked about that trade we thought of what you know what we think of that so far it’s kind of you know a future deal right we’ll see what happens with that deal but right now we don’t really know how to feel first things first then you know then the bills released Jordan puer I mean not really shocked but kind of out of nowhere Jordan pyer has been here forever I mean he’s he’s been with this team you know started right you know at the end of the drought got the team out of the drought with that Tyrod Taylor team and absolutely lit it up you know for for the last seven years I mean this is a tough one to see happen but with Micah Hyde being gone I think we could have kind of saw this one coming so that Dynamic safety Duo one of the best safety Duos in the league for the last seven to eight years is now you know completely gone in Buffalo how do you feel about that one um I briefly mentioned in my video but I I am I’m happy for what all the contributions he’s had he’s one of the best bills safeties in our entire franchise history that’s not that’s that’s not up for debate that’s a fact him and Mah Hy came here as backups and were able to light it up for seven straight years are you kidding me for most teams that doesn’t work but for him it did they took a risk they came to the Siberia of of the NFL and they made it work and for them I always be grateful for them for that but like you said it wasn’t very shocking that they’re gone now that both Hyde and po are probably gone or definitely gone um they look slower they weren’t making as many good tackles last year and there was one play in particular it was really early in the season it was week one uh against the New York Jets where Bree Hall has a big 80 yard or 70 yard run or something from their own 10 and you just saw this guy burn Jordan puyer it wasn’t close puyer appeared to have the wheels just completely fall off in that one moment there and it led to a huge run and eventually Christian benfer had to come back and make the game or it’s touchdown saving tackle uh so I think the time was right to move on now and I’m glad they did the problem is now who are you going to replace with them because Taylor R I don’t think is the answer not your long-term answer you’re GNA have definitely not I think you’re going to have to draft the safety and I think you’re going to have to get one in for agency and they’re opening up a lot of room CU we look at the next move another defensive back San Neil gets released this one again kind of a surprise I mean you look at a guy like San Neil great special teamer that is that’s a sha mcder likes that’s his bread and butter right so this frees up 2.88 million not a ton of money but you know the bills are so restricted because of that Von Miller deal and you know some other ones but mainly that Von Miller deal they got lucky with the c you know going up you know a substantial amount this year but still they’re they’re in a tight tight race there so Saran Neil kind of a shocker um Deontay Hardy um not so much a shocker but again one of those guys that just didn’t pan out Brandon Bean thought it would help out a little more than it did you save 4.3 million on that move it is what it is then we get into some more bigger Shockers I mean you know the the next two uh let’s let’s talk Von Miller real quick restructures deal uh thank you Von Miller for doing that um completely reworked his contract uh I I think he owed that to the organization with all those allegations that threw the team off and just you know his inability to come back uh you know you know hope you know we all kind of hoped he came back a little sooner than he didn’t he really didn’t do anything when he did come back so you know good on V for restructuring that deal and helping the team out a little bit you know kind of acknowledging that he’s making a lot of money and can afford a little to help the team out especially with the way he’s been playing but let’s talk about this other release Here uhuh one of two massive surprises Mitch moris I mean Mitch Morris end end of the season impressor he said don’t worry guys I’ll be back then you know we see Bates gets traded and we’re like okay this confirms Mitch Morris is back you know we’re going to be fine I guess not so it looks like David Edwards is going to slide into that you know potentially starting offensive line maybe you move mccovery in the center I I I I don’t know exactly what the plan is there but Mitch Morris you know again he’s getting older he’s getting slower he’s got a concussion issue you know probably his best interest to stop playing football but you know he was G to come back and he’s one of those guys who’s kind of like poyer the heart and soul of the team right I mean people look up to him people uh you know love playing with him love playing for him on that offensive line so what’ you think of this one Mitch Morris I mean out of nowhere um there were some rumors right about maybe if you’re really the saber or the bills were that desperate for cap that they would cut him or restructure his contract now when the news actually rolled in that he was getting released I was extremely surprised just like you but I see where they’re coming from my only concern now is that the bills are going to feel tempted to draft a center in the first round I’m really scared about that I don’t want them to do that I would hate that and I saw someone put breaking news oh no we have breaking news more breaking news from the Buffalo Bills we have another sign uh the bills have resigned safety Taylor r a three-year deal worth 14.5 million now okay so there’s backup safety that you’re G to have locked up for three years that is 4.8 million a season not super bad but uh you know I thought Taylor rap had a decent year but again he’s probably not a starter right so that’s that’s a lot of money for a backup but at the same time I mean I think I think we all expected Taylor rap to be one of those guys uh that was going to be back there just hopefully not a starter uh let’s let’s touch on the the last one before we get more breaking news to talk about because it seems like every two seconds the bills are doing something today uh you know Matt Hawk uh the punter we resigned or we signed him for a year so that probably means Sam Martin’s going to get released uh you know coming off that injury and had you know good second half of the Year super bad first half year we’ll see what they do with that maybe just a camp body kind of weird to send hack so so early though or Hawk um but yeah the last surprise of the day so far uh travius White gets cut and this one saves the team 10.2 million um and you know it it will also come with 6.2 million of dead cap but you know saving the team a lot of money I think it’s the right move travius white his second major injuring he he wasn’t the same player after the first one so I can only imagine how much worse he’s going to be after the second one I wish him nothing but the best absolutely love Trey white I know all of Buffalo does but you just can’t be paying a guy coming off that type of injury for the second time that much money and you know he might not even be ready for Camp might not be ready for the first couple games of the year it just it just didn’t work out the the bills were too restrained with the cap to let travius white kind of you know sit on this roster and not play you know whether it’s a week whether it’s 10 weeks whether it’s the whole season it just couldn’t happen so they free up a lot of money there what do you think about this move ah I’m so conflicted on the one hand when tray is healthy he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and with him a fully healthy trade a and a fully healthy R Douglas those are two of the they make up one of the best quarterback Duos in the NFL they will they would have had trade not been injured two seasons in a row but the problem like you said two straight season ending injuries you don’t know what kind of player you’re going to get on the other end of that and he’s at this point is in his career being paid 16 mil I don’t know but he’s one of the first guys again that came into Buffalo he was part of that new core so it’s just really sad because a lot of people have gotten attached to Guys Like Him guys like puyer Morse uh not the Deontay Hardy No sarano even too these are a lot of guys who the saber or the bills made as Cornerstone players and now was just going down the list of people you’re mentioning do you know how many of these guys were team captains at some point in their Bill’s career you look Jordan puer is or was Saran Neil Mitch Morris travius white that’s four of your captains gone so and I mentioned in my video I’m just just I’m wondering are the Bills rebuilding are they retooling what’s the plan here because I know you have to get rid of all of this you have to get rid of all the dead weight cap get younger get healthier get faster I I appreciate that approach but I’m just wondering in the short term especially for next season I really would hate to see the bills waste a year of Josh Allen yeah you you absolutely cannot and again I’m a firm believer that any single year you have Josh Allen on this you’re a Super Bowl Contender and you know some of the things Josh Allen can do just by himself alone just just puts the team in that situation that being said I mean you got to go for it while he’s here because we saw what happens when you don’t have a QB like that and you could have you know you could have a guy like I I don’t know the list goes on and on you know TR edell Owens Marshon Lynch uh you know Percy Harvin um lesea McCoy you could have one of the best defenses in the league like they had under Rex Ryan and before that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a quarterback and you have a quarterback finally you have a franchise quarterback you have a top three quarterback in the league consistently year and year and year you have to go for the Super Bowl and I think it you know sea mcder said it’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of w and I do agree with that you know as curs as this team and city is it’s going to happen right I mean it can’t not happen this Josh Allen is too good not win a Super Bowl he’s too good of a quarterback to not at least get lucky one of these years but again got to put a good team on the field for him yeah and I feel like this is just going to be a season where Shan goes to uh he goes to Josh and is like hey buddy you’re going to have to put a 35 to 40 points every single game it’s going to be one of those years pal the defense is going to be in a retool kind of season and I think that sooner rather than later the defense did have to retool you knew at some point point that this hide and poer thing was going to happen I kind of f Brandon Bean last year for not taking a safety higher than he did and starting to look ahead to this cuz you knew the time was ticking on hiy and por especially after that Bengals playoff game it was clear they weren’t the same two guys that we first got used to when they came to Buffalo and for Taylor rap you thought maybe he could be the starter no last year nah I I I I didn’t see with rap I think he’s a good backup I think he’s fine in a rotational setting but not in a starting not as a starter you could have a guy like Mitch pisy yep ah oh all my yeah that’s I mean there’s teams in the league every single year that you know what do they say oh we’re a quarterback away and you’re in purgatory if you don’t have a good quarterback it’s not even worth doing it I mean look at these Super Bowl teams when the last time I a Super Bowl team you know or a team on the Super Bowl without a good quarterback I mean you look at Nick Foles Maybe maybe Nick fos I mean you you go back down the line I mean you got Tampa Bay a long time ago there’s you know there’s there’s some teams in between there but most of the times it’s the teams with the best quarterback you know that that’s going to be or you know a top five quarterback at least that ends up winning it all and that’s just you know it’s the most important position on the field I mean it’s it’s plain and simple everyone wants to be quarterback when they’re growing up because you’re in charge you’re the guy that’s you know making the decisions and it stays true all the way to the NFL and I I don’t know what these owners and GMS don’t understand I mean trying to win games without a quarterback if you don’t have a quarterback might as well just skip a year and get that number one overall pick which you know we do see see teams do that but for for how long did we see the bills not do that you know just be content with a middle of the road guy and that’s why we had the drought and you know they tried they got some younger guys you know how many Cardell Joneses did we have over the years EJ manuals all that all those type of players that didn’t pan out you got to get a stud and if you don’t have a stud quarterback it’s not going to work out the bills have had two eras where they’ve been truly phenomenal teams and Jim CI very good quarterback and Josh Allen who honestly you know I didn’t see Jim Kelly play live but I mean from the looks of it Josh Allen’s a much more athletic and a you know a better quarterback overall so you know you you put Josh Allen in that era with you know Andre Reed Thurman Thomas I don’t know if you’re losing a game so yeah yeah and uh maybe the bills actually finally do make this the year where they go find a supporting cast for Josh Allen Stefon Diggs disappeared in that second half of this past season he disappeared he was flat out gone and he did not show up he had a lot more drops than normal not our typical Stefon Diggs and uh but folks that’s enough of the bills for now we’ll get back to them in the next intermission TNT going straight to the game here no warning I love it when National broadcast do that I when I was watching the ESPN Plus game against uh Tampa was that I don’t remember which game it was but they just no warning whatsoever they just jumped straight to the game yeah okay yeah there we’re in commercial break but we’re going to cut mid playay the first or the second period so yeah yeah my my second just started so I’m about 14 seconds ahead of you Buffalo Bill Super Bowl season starts on the 13th I went to Jim’s house in 95 after the Jets game oh really nice it’s a fun little tidbit all right Sabers win the face off they scoop this one out of Their Own Zone Toronto immediately coming back in again and tipping this one past Lucan in Bryson there is with gurgenson gurgenson gets it out of the Zone but Toronto stops him and dead in their tracks right at the Blue Line Buffalo though retains possession will go cross ice with each other and eventually go in the neutral zone up the ice they throw this one past Samson off now as gurgenson behind the goal line here in the far corner with leushin all over him along with LR I miss lbushkin that Tampa go in overtime that’s legendary absolutely legendary never forget the moment my phone blew up when I got serviced that was I don’t know I ever told you the story but I remember I called kale up about 20 minutes after the goal happened I was like Kale did you see it and he’s in and out no uh I’m I’m in the at R deck I saw it on my phone it looked cool what a moment I mean there’s a lot of stuff that happened on that trip up there snowball buing but that’s definitely what I’ll always associate it with driving up there and laush we’re in the middle of nowhere like you know a little bit past I think we’re like an hour north of like Fort Drum almost you know by like I don’t know getting towards the Adon de and yeah that happened but uh yeah I was making that you know I don’t know why this reminded me but when I was making that middle stad video with the sad song playing and the tribute to him uh man all this Bills news and all that I mean the comments were coming in like crazy I must had to screen record Clips like five times every single time I tried I had an alert and I was like all right I got to go on DND and get these clips recorded but I would almost get there and then all of a sudden somebody would comment and uh you know so thank you guys for engaging but um yeah that was that was that was get on my nerves but like oh no yeah but anyway saber’s in the offensive zone here I mean I was saying earlier today brother dictator Nick I was about to get ready with the video I was like Nick I’m about to post and he’s like I think you’re going to have to redo that I was like why travius white I was like what do you mean about trade day he just got released and then you just hear me go no and then slams the door and I run back into the room here to re shoot everything it’s the worst it is the worst and I hate when I I’ll do something and I’ll like procrastinate on it so like I’m like oh I could have had this up so much earlier but I waited till the last minute to get this post up but now it’s not even accurate or now there’s like more news and I got to redo it so that’s that’s kind of where I learned if I if I’m doing something I get it done right away so there’s no possible information that I miss Mike delin who’s is backup center H never heard of him I’m sure my dad has but anyways Toronto coming into the Zone berzi pass um the flex and go out of play he was looking for maxad DOI on that one but yeah uh just a lot of guys is going away actually have I no I haven’t been to Rex Ryan’s house I drove by Rex Ryan’s old house used to know someone that lived in that neighborhood but there’s there’s Bo Barum there’s the video of him he’s oh my God bro is laughing on his way out of the Colorado arena there were rumors apparently they were talk they were talking about a pregame but apparently there were rumors that Bo bym did not want to stay in Colorado he did not like it there now know C uhoh turn over in front Toronto scores will neander turn over behind the net by the defenseman and the Sabers are forced to pay as Toronto gets on the board first it’s neander the other one not ours formerly ours we’ll see what happens we’ll see what happened on that play but leushin threw it in below the goal line there Ryan Johnson had it stripped easy Tic Tac tow to the slot nobody in the world covering neander in perfect shot Luke had no opportunity to make that save and Toronto gets out in front first yeah we take a look at the replay here and yeah I mean behind the net Clifton and Ryan Johnson just not not getting it done behind the net I don’t even know how to explain that they looked at each other neither one got the puck got s out in front neander beat UPL glove side tough play for UPL sliding over there and you know lushan first to celebrate with neander out there on the guys anyways Toronto coming or Sabers going into the Toronto Zone Sabres are going to have to respond some way they haven’t done enough offensively here tonight Reeves trying to beat out that icing he did not and he thought he did so he’s yelling and complaining about it as he has to skape back into his own Zone but just looking at that it looks like B was just kind of floating in no man’s land and when you have two defenseman behind the goal line one player there for Toronto you’d expect them to do a little bit better than that and I know we’ve given Ryan Johnson a lot of passes this season but that goal was not a good look for him yeah no and he you know I think he looked Ryan Johnson looked the best when he first started with the team I think since then he’s kind of been on that downwards trajectory again still good for a rookie season I mean I didn’t expect too much from him uh and definitely want him to play over Eric Johnson but with that being said yeah he’s definitely kind of by a worst player anyways Toronto throws this one back into the the Sab Zone they have the one lead off of neanders 34th of the Season Sabers now trying to tip this one into the Toronto Zone Samson off again out of the net throws this one up the far boards not out though kept in by Dalene Dalene at the Blue Line makes move walks in takes the shot deflects in front of the net Samson off made the initial save Toronto gets to the rebound but they can’t get out of the zone or at least by Yoki aru Matthews now goes cross SI with his pass finds legon that sounds so wrong legon yeah what’ you say about my son uh Here Comes Tage name what a name Tage throws this one on that tuck looking for the rebound Skinner is there now they they turn it over a couple of times n now eventually has it back goes try tries to go up the ice tucked it with a bunch of stick lfts I think someone is spamming his controller now the Sabers looking for that stretch pass off the stick though of Skinner he’ll go off to the bench and there’s William Leeson I I can’t get away from it is there’s got to be a better way to say this he’s everywhere he’s everywhere but here’s leushin turn over off the wall into the high slot there was a shot that was a nice nice save there it was uh mccan Bobby mccan but Lucan challenged it stepped out of his crease made it a very good save for the Sabers Eric Johnson has been on a similar downward trajectory I don’t think he was ever good though I don’t think Eric was ever good even from his first uh from his first game in Buffalo he just didn’t very seem really good in that New York game either they given him just a weird fit with the with the Savers I mean they’re a quick team they like to move the puck fast and he just didn’t fit that mold and I I get the need for you know defensive defenseman and we had to tighten up the defense but just a bad move from Kevin Adams and I know some people will defend the move say ah you know he probably thought he was going to be a little bit better than he is he’s a good Mentor this was the year to make the playoffs you know it’s you know that was a move you should have made the last last year so I I just don’t understand it but it you know that offseason ended up costing the team a uh a whole season and hopefully hopefully they they can continue last year success into next year and you know use this one as kind of a gap we have another shot on goal rebound sits in front for UPL scooped Away by berzi he’ll swing this one back to the point for neander has a goal now drops it back for DOI DOI walking out plays a pass to The Far Side for leushin leushin making some mov moves in the corner now again plays it back to the point for DOI out wide to leushin leushin throws his one towards the net didn’t make it through now he does again it’s not long the near post and Lucan and I think oh again made another save so Toronto starting to feel themselves a little bit here Lucan in having to come up big a couple of times now on William neander Savers desperately need something going forward here at the beginning they cannot wait another 14 minutes in this second to get going yeah you’re you’re G to have to get a fluke bounce um I don’t know maybe you know maybe the fourth line can get it going again like they did in the first but right now it’s tough I know the team’s probably pretty emotional after losing Casey middle set a guy who’s been here for several years so you know you got to take that into account too also some guys on the team that you know probably think they’re going to be gone after after either tonight or tomorrow this could potentially be at Koso Genson at olon last game with the neighbors so a lot a lot of emotions this game too it’s probably difficult to focus so I do understand that point of it and you know it’s it’s a year where the playoffs are pretty much a uh you foregone conclusion that they’re not going to make it so I could definitely see you know emotions running high and since it’s not really a must-win I think guys are kind of more interested in what’s going to happen rather than what’s happening in the ice right now le gay Sun maybe L Strait Sun well we’ll have to see truth we’ll have to see we will see Sabers after that offsides throw it into the Toronto Zone they go in on the for check here but Toronto easily goes by them excuse me gets it out of the Zone power now passes it off to Jacob Bryson Here Comes Bryson up ice through Center throws it to the far side but it looks like the Sabres were off sides thank you Bry for a horrible pass and now Toronto can go back into the Sabers Zone Matthews beating out power to that puck power just kind of laxidasical got to that one now Matthews flips it to the near side corner Bryson gets there first gets it along the boards but not out kept in there by Noah Gregor Gregor stuck out on the ice with Matthews Mar Riley also on the four check surprisingly there now Gregor takes a check along the boards theyve try to find Matthews who’s been the Magic Man and now a Sabers player gets hit up high with a stick right in front of the referee we are not going to get a call for that wo okay it wasn’t it like it was right in front of the ref now a long range shot right on goal stopped by luk and and Savers get get to that one off the rebound and we’ll get out of the ice out of the Zone Legas finds uh his man Ben Wah going forward Beno around the boards to the near side gurgenson just kind of whacks at it gets it high up into the air and out of the zone and finds olon with speed Olson scores Victor Olson returns to the lineup and makes a c with a even strength goal and the Sabers tie it up and one I mean if there’s a Time the start I’m not ready the headline right perfect oh yeah sniped it glove side beat Sam son off he didn’t even move what a snipe from Olson nice breakout pass there too I I didn’t catch you who uh who had the pass down on that end board there but uh yeah I mean uh great time for Olson to score I’m kind of speechless because you don’t see that every day but Olson draws back in the lineup and instantly makes El Leafs pay and oh nice okay so HBO Max is no longer working on my TV Cal this is your stream you still have a feed I got to refresh it just okay well it it sensed my excitement from olon and it immediately froze it could not it could not comprehend that Victor Olson put the puck in the net in the year 2024 it just it could not fathom that thought but anyway we are at Center ice here KBS loses the face off and the B Buffalo Sabers will almost said Bost and I don’t know why but Toronto gets the puck there and they throw it in tarz unable to maintain possession and that puck goes all the way behind Sams sonov Benson down low trying to be a pass like he always is and crbs goes hard into the boards there kind of slipped down uh as the puck gets cleared all the way to the Buffalo and no icing Del touches up behind his net and swings it out to Yoki Haru Yoki Haru all the way up the boards looks like KBS is okay there Benson gets stripped though back the other way come the leaves but not for long great defense there by Dalene who gives it over right in front of the net just missed tarz had a wide open look there and now we going to have a whistle and a penalty and the Buffalo Sabers are headed to the Penalty kill as we had to commercial break so yeah we look at the replay there nander for the LEF Olson for the Sabers getting both teams on the board here in the second but Toronto Maple lefs had to do the power play when we returned from commercial oh yeah this is just great yeah HBO just keeps stopping it’s like they don’t think the game happened after that they were done with the olon goal they were like yep you got that not believe it you know it happens sometimes it happens yeah um I’m going to let it sit there for a moment but in the meanwhile Cal you you have soul talker responsibilities but yeah what a shot from kyoso yeah let’s trade aoso now while his trade value is still high okay yeah get get aoso get olon I mean they both been playing good lately and now you know we’ll see that was a great shot that was an absolutely great shot so um again that that is what Victor Olson can do uh if you’re you know a scout you know potentially watching this game you see that shot you pair him up with the top player in the league and he’s G to score goals I mean we saw it with Jack eel he’s you know that one trick pony guy but if you put him in the right spot he’s gonna he’s got to produc so I I wouldn’t be too worried um if if you know if I’m a scout you know maybe trying to convince a GM to to get a guy like Victor oliv and I wouldn’t be worried about his lack of Defense because he is able to put the puck in the net and when you pair him up with the right guy he could be a deadly player we we’ve seen that before but again on a team like the Savers that needs pretty much every player to be on their game each and every night it’s not going to work out and he just doesn’t blend well with this team that’s fast-paced blah blah blah blah blah you know like a the parck around Olson’s one of those guys who likes to sit and likes to snipe and that’s why he was so good on the power play when he was but yeah we take a a look at the replay here and I mean he shot that from the center dot I mean he was pretty far out there and just I mean just a wicked flick you know wrist shot there and you know you rarely see that from guys on the Savers team I mean how many times do we see guys like cousins spurka just rip it right into the middle of the goalie we see that from my posto get gurgenson all the time too but anyways here we go Alex talk we see that from a lot too but uh oh look at this Jordan greway may have an opportunity shorthanded go into the front of the net that one was saved by Sam sonov and now Toronto will try to settle it here their first couple of opportunities on the power play so here comes Toronto going across that blue line they get it oh actually they lost it and they then a misplaced pass forces them to retreat uh so 30 seconds already gone Toronto has the second best power play in the NHL so Buffalo try not to do this very often Whenever I Call what Charlie says weager to Buffalo but uh oh watch out for Toronto Jordan Greenway another Miss he causes another turnover now cousins to the front of the net that centering pass redirects off a Toronto defenseman on samon off and now Toronto will waste no time going back up ice Neil Ender across to Marner back to neander his shot was blocked by power what a critical block there by op and now the Sabers can clear with 50 seconds to go on the the power play huge block ha I don’t know if you saw it yet I’ll see it in a couple seconds here oh yeah there it is yeah yeah massive block yeah that was that was pretty much oneon-one if that got fast power oh we have another turnover H we almost had another turnover there tuck though the just had that pass go out of his reach hey K what do you think about NHL Edge what do you think about Edge what do you think about Edge IQ I I can’t say I know much about it I know they yeah they they do some tracking over there some speed tracking and all that but yeah oh speed track really checked it out is that so yeah I’m not really into that kind of stuff no n but here oh Toronto going right to the front of the net great opportunity for yarn crook right as the power play expires and uh the Sabers are going to kill that one off pretty decently too had a couple of their own opportunities too but Dalene now going back up ice Dalene crosses the Center Ice Line now still has it takes the shot that one almost fooled Sam son off he redirects that one towards the corner now Brody with the puck behind his own n Banks this one to his teammate David camp and Camp can go up ice now for the maple leafes across the Blue Line throws this one in Lucan in comes out to play with it has it gives it to Owen power power though his pass almost turned over he gets another crack at it he doesn’t he makes that one count he finds gurgenson going up ice gurgenson across the Blue Line finds over power on the drop Pass power steps out to the middle of the ice fakes the slapper now shoots it stopped by Sam sonof rebound goes to the near side boards for aoso he battles away with Ben Wah right then and there Ben W with aoso aoso is having a really strong game can a case to be on a Stanley Cup Contender now Robinson off the goal line now gets a rebound it just went wide Sabers coming this close to scoring on that one next Generation stats with these statistics people can make themselves invisible you know when I when I get on to Edge I really want to make sure no one sees me I just want to do my thing look up look up what I need to look up and get out yeah I like I said I’m not really into that that’s you know that that concept you know yeah tracking player speeds and stuff so I don’t know too much about it but I know some people are really into I think Jaden our fellow comade the third man that’s what he’s doing when he’s not on here he’s always on edge yeah he’s always on edge yeah but anyways ton going back real status statian yeah oh but tuck trying to get out of the saber Zone he turns it over Camp trying to cut through to the front of the net yeah I see the shots on goal don’t you come at me don’t you come at my throw truth I know I know uh oh Sabers turned it over I don’t think yeah Sabers turned it over in their own oh actually they’ll get it out now Tage touches it along to Skinner Skinner with speed trying to cut between the two defenseman if inste gets it out wide the tuck hit tuck shot though def flux off the Stick of Tyler berzi and out of play with 819 to go in the second period TNT with a beautiful shot of the CN Tower in downtown Toronto I’ve been up there h I was just talking the other night I think I’m gonna I’m gonna make an effort to visit Toronto quite a few times for some Blue Jays games this this summer so should be able to explore up there I heard it’s a very nice city so it is I’ve been there before when I was very young but I don’t really remember much went to the zoo um so I generally go at least once a summer yeah I’ve heard it’s fun but yeah you know it is it very much is I really like it there I think it’s a great City uh so why would you rather be on NHL Edge or would you rather be in Toronto oh I think I’d be rather I’d rather be on edge I’d rather be with the edgers yeah it’s a yeah it’s it’s a pretty good platform you guys haven’t checked it out yet yeah I I’ll have to ask Jaden about it though yeah yeah maybe maybe we have an edge [Laughter] stream where we look at highlights and you know track the speed of some shots I’m so glad I’m so glad no one in the chat is understanding this what K what what are you yapping about pal what you yapping on Welcome Back yeah um so yeah it’s gonna be I don’t know it’s gonna be it’s gonna be a fun season next season for the Sabers though I truly believe that and I think it all starts at the trade deadline um again if you guys you know want to want to get breaking news on the trade deadline uh make sure to follow the Instagram uh turn on those noties and have those noties on here on YouTube too because I’m sure we’ll have some videos coming out discussing what the Sabers do or why the Sabers did nothing and we’ll see if they decide to do anything but already more than I expected from the Sabres with that middle stat move yeah there’s Greenway talking to Marty Wilford on the bench about his short-handed opportunities oh Sawyer understands it Sawyer I think you’re too young to understand this but here’s Peyton Krebs off the end boards Peyton Krebs looking for a centering option goes to the net there’s going to be a call coming up here against Toronto Toronto finally well no not not yet delay call coming up against them Sabers are going to go to their second power play opportunity of the game once Toronto touches up on this one as power whips it around to Dylan cousins cousins with lukan in vacating the M vacating the net cousins now will go up ice trying to do it all himself but Lo is the puck and now the Sabers will get that power play all right we I don’t if you saw the Jets game but uh the Sabers I believe it was their last power play of the game when they were up two to one it was like a trip in the offensive zone and it took about 20 seconds for the ref from completely behind the play to blow it dead it was like a clear trip there was no call the crowd was kind of going nuts and then like 10 seconds later it got blown dead like after like two Jets touched it up right I mean that’s just what the NHL referee has become U now my phone for some reason is at 18% right now so after this power play I’m gonna head out and then I’ll be back for for the third oh okay all right yeah we have a very unorthodox stream here tonight but sabes on the power play here having to come back into the Zone after losing it Skinner drops it back to Tage Tage now drops it all the way to the point for cousins across to Skinner Skinner pass back to the point for cousins across again to Dalene download to Skinner back up top to cousins out wi t with the one timer that goes wide now Skinner trying to feed it tuck in front of the net pass and make it all the way through Marner couldn’t clear though Sabres keep it alive there t now trying to go through the crease pass in Ted it for tuck again and now Marner trying to get a short-handed break he gives it to David C C trying to break in with speed but Tage got back just in time to make the play and now the Sabers can go back up up ice tuck with a touch pass drops it back to Skinner Skinner off the boards has it shoots it short angle missed the net and took a weird bounce off the end boards I’m not sure why Skinner is doing that by the way but neander watch out he may have an opportunity going to the net takes the shot that one is stopped by Lucan in with the shoulder there and Greenway now turns it over lean Lander Lane to the net shot stopped again by Lucan in and the Sabers hopefully trying to get speed the other way here they come now poso with The Barbers beats out laush get aosa to the front of the net rebound sits in front Perka but nobody could make it count now PKA to the point power with a shot oh no he took he passed on an obvious shot tried to go cross ice to PKA and that one ends up in the stands unbelievable that the Sabres did not score there leushin being what a chance in front of the nut there h no goalie stick yeah but look at the wheels on Kyle aoso the old man the old it is against Ilia leushin but still that little ster stuff you’ll love to see it and he’s definitely been making a case to be a trade Target these last couple games absolutely yeah totally all right Sabers with another Power Play Or Another face off here which they lose Toronto will knock this one down the ice with 20 I can’t stop burping good lord I can’t stop burping yeah anyways here comes power for buffalo power is going to drop it back to Krebs Krebs now cross Chris crosses with Greenway but Greenway cannot handle the pass Toronto gets to it they will clear the zone for the final time the Sabers will not convert on that power play opportunity good play by Toronto they get back to full strength But Here Comes JJ Peta splits a couple defensemen now walks in trying to leave it there for Greenway but the two of them again weren’t on the same page here’s Krebs behind the net takes a heavy check from Mitch Marner Mitch Marner though still getting under some serious pressure now he throws it to the front of the net first Simone benois benois off the boards not out now he now it gets out and uh goes all the way down the ice for an icing all right well I will take this time to uh exit here I don’t know why my phone is dead but I will be back for the start of the third period all right we’ll see you then kale uh SS good poor kale rip kale oh there’s two of me now fun f fun fun fun fun fun let me get myself off get that off hopefully we see Cal again for the third period and his phone stops being a little stupid all right sabes in their own zone or in the offensive zone Genson loses the face off Oki has been playing like he knows the golf schedule yeah yeah pretty much no Oki Oki uh he understands where he’s at he doesn’t want to leave Buffalo he’s trying to prove to Kevin Adams that he needs to stay the problem is the better he does the less likely that happens oh and apparently no hanin it is likely that he gets traded to the Vegas golden knights doppelganger Dawn yeah pretty much pretty much what that that was me for a hot second there yeah uh but there was a lot of Trades that happened in the NHL today but anyways Here Comes Buffalo L the face up but was able to quickly get it out of the Zone Matthews though regains it at Center Ice drops it to Martin who drops it back again to Matthew n that pass was almost out of his reach Sabres have it they they’re forced to retreat to the four corner they ring around to the near side Dalene trying to make a move around nce he does centers that puck very dangerously I may add but Toronto having to get backos was very young and Youthful that is what everyone said always right Marner keeps it in at the line though Matthews walking towards the middle of the ice or screw it Riley now to Marner Marner with his shot glances off the glove of Lucan sabes can’t get out of the Zone still Riley with the puck on the near side under pressure from gurgenson eventually forces the turnover Yoki aru can get this one to the line Olson Shepherds it the rest of the way and now the Sabres will get it down the ice no icing though as Riley steps out from behind his own net Sabers making some line changes as well neander makes a move now throw this one into the Sab end Clifton on the far side Banks this one off his stick kept in by Ben Wah Ben Wa plays it down low but we have a whistle here ladies and gentlemen looks like an icing call and again TNT is going to go to another commercial break Kyle is gone for certain at the end of the season F farewell Captain Oki I know he’s been here for so long would be a shame to see him go now what a guy though I don’t understand though why the Sabers just basically decline that power play bow BM re can you imagine what it’s like if uh you’re B bow and bym you’re going from a Stanley Cup Contender to the Buffalo Sabers not great not the best oh but yeah folks did you hear about the uh the Mitch moris or not the Mitch moris the Adam Henrik trade going from Anaheim to the Edmonton Oilers and folks we are at 2083 2800 or jeez I you know what should I just stop speaking tonight folks and also by the way why do we only have six likes on the stream huh what’s up with that what’s up with that only six likes bro real quick did we get to see Bowen leave can you pull up the clip if there is one uh TNT briefly flashed a clip of bow and bym seen leaving Colorado’s facilities uh let me see if there’s uh I mean I don’t have it on my screen right now so I can’t screen record it or screen share with you guys I’m not finding anything though there there I’m I’m sure eventually someone will post it to Twitter but he was laughing he was having a good time on the way out me and my dad were just talking about how it must be humility yeah I know well apparently Byron wanted out that’s what I’m hearing Byron wanted out from Colorado he was not going to resign he wasn’t happy there he didn’t think it was the right fit anymore which I don’t know if if you’re Buffalo if you should be concerned about something like that but I’m sure he welcomed a change of scenery and it’s not like he doesn’t know any of the guys on the roster right now I don’t know if you guys saw earlier the picture of him posing with Dylan cousins uh with Jacob Bryson as well so he knows who’s already in the facilities he knows this team already so that’s a good sight to see that he at least will be familiar there won’t be as much uh transition time for him but anyways we return to play here Sabres after that offsides call get it down the ice into the Toronto Zone that Tage has it on the near side boards working off the wall drops it to Bryson Bryson now going cross I to Tage Tage with a shot that one was blocked right off the knee I think of Tyler berzi he gets up a little gingerly there sabes again have it at the point Tage holds fires towards the net rebound by tuck just went wide samsonov was had no no idea where that puck R now Toronto gets it down the ice and that one will be coming back for an icing on an icing bym is not playing now no he was just traded a couple of hours ago I wouldn’t even I wouldn’t expect him to play tonight or tomorrow for Buffalo I’d be very surprised if he played against uh the Nashville Predators tomorrow night but yeah after the Sabers not getting a shot for the first 12 13 14 minutes of the game they have 20 or 19 TNT just took one off the board ah I’ll update it eventually Sabres will will surely get another shot on goal anyways Toronto wins the offens defensive Zone Faceoff they throw it up to Center I PKA quickly gloves it back in and comes in for the Buffalo Sabers he gives it to Jordan Greenway who turns it over right around the goal line I swear to God this guy does nothing for this team yeah no he is not playing here comes Buffalo nice play to get out of that two they go up ice Peta with a shot as he walked towards the slot there and uh well looks like they tried to keep it in at the blue line but Ryan Johnson was just off sides unfortunate very very unfortunate there 239 to go I think the Sabres have really stepped it up here in this uh second period hey we got 10 legs finally let’s go let’s get 15 guys green me though did have a good Rush there cousins with a shot that that one was glanced off but fourth line out here for the Toronto Maple Le it’s Ryan Reeves Reeves putting on the pressure on Ryan Johnson throws him kind of roughly into the boards there but that’s what Reeves does he’s done that with every single team Camp off the ice as he dumps this one into the Sabers end Johnson cooly plays it out looking for the outlet in kaoko look at this guy he’s got some Wheels tonight Koso looks like a well Wellman rested well rested man but here’s olon in the far corner he has the only goal for Buffalo here tonight leaves it for aoso in the far corner now to Robinson Robinson throws this one to the near side boards gives it to Ryan Johnson pinches down from the point Johnson into the corner there guess it to the point for gurgenson gurgenson across no shot yet now it comes from the defenseman there Johnson glances off the toe of Samson off now he tries to get it back again as Toronto Dives to get this one out of the Zone Oki ready to get traded I don’t know if he’s necessarily ready but he did sound like he was very prepared for the thought I don’t think though still emotionally he’s ready to go he has a family here in Buffalo he’s settled down over the last seven years or so so for him it’d be a big disruption over the final couple of months but here’s Toronto getting out of Their Own Zone again tarz to The Far Side for Ilia leushin leushin Banks his one up the boards just across the Sabers Blue Line before Bryson takes it back puts a backhander up there that was weak it was picked off Toronto throws it back right in again and here’s Owen power behind his own net finds Jacob Bryson Bryson near side for Benson with speed Zack Benson across the Toronto Blue Line chips one to the far corner for Peyton Krebs Krebs immediately to the point but nobody was there for Buffalo and now Buffalo or Toronto was looking for too many men as Buffalo was making a couple changes as the puck went over there Sabres again have it in the far corner it’s Tage gets it to Skinner Skinner out in the slot his shot deflected off a knee delene again off the uh Point gets it download to Skinner Skinner for Tage throws one to the front of the net nobody there though for Buffalo and now Marner in his skates he gets it out eventually gets this one into the Sabers corner here Matthews is there with him but Matthews loses it to Alex tuck I know he’s got to chase that cup and I’d love to see him and zus gurgenson they’ve put in their time here in Buffalo for what really they kind of wasted their careers doing nothing in Buffalo haven’t made the playoffs haven’t been able to have a legacy as Toronto throw floats one towards Lucan in Sabres can’t deal with it now a quick shot from the point finds Marner on the rebound throws this one to the front of the net and eventually though we will have a whistle there as the end of the second has arised folks the end of the second has come here as the Sabers and Maple exit two tied up at one oops Yeah there’s seven players on the ice there for Buffalo for a second referees did not call it though fortunate enough for Buffalo so yeah we go into the second intermission both teams tied up at one Olson had the game time go after William neander put Toronto in front oops yeah they they they are they’re they’re they’re competitive still but they’re always competitive against Toronto I just would like to see them do a little more in the offensive zone wouldn’t you okay though yeah so that was a pretty decent perod Again by Buffalo but they really haven’t done anything where I’d say they’ve been the better team so far not really just gota be Cony consistent yeah they have’t in this season so okay then I hope the Sabres can do something better with this give me something better to do because right now they’re still playing kind of a sludge sludgy kind of game no neither team has necessarily gotten out of their grooves here I know neander and the maple Lo did score early in this period but it’s not like they’ve been dominating either and yeah give give give the Sabers credit for playing even with a make a break team in Toronto they certainly do not want to play uh in the wild cards they do not want to face the Rangers or the Florida Panthers again because both of those teams are a wagon this year consistency and poor performance on [Music] faceoffs I wouldn’t disagree with that would not at all I think we need to get a set face off Centric Center maybe probably not I doubt that we get that but yeah the Le had a late chance but we are still tied up going into the third I wonder what the record is for the Sabers when they’re tied after two can’t be much apparently the Sabers feel like their top four is set with dalan power Byam and Samuelson according to the saber report the Sabres will look to move on from Yoki yaru as soon as this Friday if not in the summer I wouldn’t be surprised if Henry Yoki yaru is moved on from consistently not able to win more than three in a row I know when it takes you February until February to do this you don’t deserve to make the playoffs but never mentioned on that Victor olivon goal zus gurgenson had the loone assist ladies and gentlemen so yeah in case you’re wondering that and then NE his only assists were from berzi and DOI can you tell him a little tired Jackson power Johnson or Graham Burton may be the key additions of Center I don’t want to draft to Center though in the first round maybe if you want to trade up into the early second round and they’re still there on day two certainly not in the first round bills need a wide receiver desperate and don’t tell me that it’s there’s depth Sabres need a high-end wide receiver because Stefon digs clearly showed at this past season that he’s not always going to be that guy he’s not going to be playing at that Elite level forever and he wasn’t in that in the second half of last season he really wasn’t so the saber or the bills need to find a another big fast wide receiver that can gain separation but I also think yards after catch Yak is still a huge area of concern for this offense uh James Cook is able to do it D King Kate is able to do it Knox not really uh Deontay Hardy never caught a ball for the bills last year and gave Davis just struggles with that it’s he can’t do it mcgoverin can step in a center generation generate depth at wide receiver yeah generational depth of wide receiver and Elite centers in the draft um we’ll have a mock draft coming out in a couple weeks our first mock draft we’ll have a series of them probably two maybe three my guess is though two um but yeah I I I I I think Buffalo needs to desperately go wide receiver in the first round okay wide receiver in the first round 27 white outs with first round greates are you serious truth now how are you looking at all this are is there a website you use cuz I certainly will want to look at that whatever you’re using does nfl.com have like an NFL Edge so that would certainly help me in making a mock draft a couple of them yeah but Toronto Lea fans are really bickering at each other on Twitter so you’ll like to see that Sabers still have a shot lead of 19 to 15 ladies and gentlemen but yeah I think the Savers are still firmly in this game but Toronto not doing very much to inspire anyone at the moment not exactly so Buffalo is going to have to do a little bit better in that got 72 people in the chat or seven people in the chat make sure folks to hit that like button and subscribe yes yes yes yes yes yes multiple resources k and also next gen also scouting reports on on over 300 prospects jeez I don’t want to is nextg cost money nextg stats does it cost money money money money oh no it’s just still here I gotta stop Nike you got to stop advertising stuff please stop advertising me um yeah but there it is there are all these uh stats thank you appreciate that this is definitely going to be something that I will use not even for the draft but just in general when I look up I want to look up how player is actually doing 11 well what does it say I can’t read what that says say Walter Walter Camp is cosing next gen free Kyper what’s Kyper let me look that up too Kyper NFL Draft so I mean I’m really not looking to pay oh Mel Kyper his big board uh yeah but meel Kyper I feel like he’s pretty untrustworthy I don’t exactly like him coyote Kale’s phone died Midstream Walter Football let’s see there’s all this premium users get adree content is this their entire board or just the top 10 oh wow it keeps going no goes up to pick 16 I can just keep going all the way no add no no stop it there mock the bills getting Xavier Legette Legette interesting not sure I’d pick him wonder where they had Troy Franklin I like that that guy in school doing a paper about why Josh Allen should have won MVP um so here I’ll give you I’ll give you three big reasons and then I’ll give you one reason why he didn’t win MVP um your first big reason is that the stats back him up okay stats back up Josh Allen he had the most total touchdowns he have the most passing touchdowns compared to Lamar Jackson at least the only category where Lamar did better than Josh and stat-wise was interceptions your second big reason look at what each player how each player affects their team I’m not saying Lamar doesn’t have an effect on the Baltimore Ravens I’m not saying that Lamar isn’t the center of that team but Lamar had more weapons he had a better defense all year round Josh basically has had to do it on his own especially when Stephon Diggs became a non-factor he had to find a way to get other guys into the game but that only could happen if Josh made it happen so in terms of which team relies on each other more Josh I think the bills definitely rely on Josh Allen more so than Lamar or the Ravens rely on Lamar because at least with the Ravens they still have a great coaching staff they still have a great defense they still have a really good offensive line one of the best best special teams in the NFL um so that’s my second reason actually I’m going to give you just two reasons that’s my two reasons I can’t think of a third reason right why right now I feel like those two are pretty Broad and cover a lot of bases I’ll give you the one reason why not and it’s basically because of perception those interceptions early in the season really didn’t do Josh Ellen much good but Lamar didn’t have those interceptions he didn’t have those turnovers but he did it’s tough because Josh Allen just commits way too many turnovers to be considered an MVP I think he does at least but but if you look at the playoff performance for each Josh is definitely much better than Lamar the only problem with that argument is that the MVP is only a regular season award it doesn’t take in account playoff performances South Carolina Elite try flinkin Troy Franklin many uh what did you say issues besides his measur measurables being wrong h using me as a source yeah go right ahead as long as you know how to site me properly uh xaviel Legette lad mcon makoni adoni Mitchell Brian Thomas Jr the guys to try to get ad dun dun I don’t know pronounce that I figured out if you look at old MVPs they have a lot of interceptions is that so let’s let’s go back anaval MVP uh winners where’s the MVP yeah okay Lamar only had eight momes the year before Aaron roders no not really nothing nothing nothing you’re not GNA no don’t worry I don’t really give a crap about it if you need if you need those words use those words um lad makoni Adon Mitchell Brian Thomas Jr I like Brian Thomas I’ve heard he’s good but I will say I’m saying all this without having done a lot of research into it and I was going to do that over my spring break actually was going to do some research into uh some mock drafts and who the Bills should get in the first round and Beyond only 176 pounds he’s a he’s a skinny guy he’s a light guy huh damn surprising what do you think we’ll get as a possible return for Vic if we do nothing there shouldn’t we should not be getting a big return if we do try to trade uh Victor olon number one his cap is just horrible I’m sure the Sabers would be willing to retain 50% problem is we’d have to get another team to help out with that um he’s only played in a handful of games since the beginning of the calendar year so that’s a big problem as well and also he just he doesn’t provide anything defensively and then the postseason that’s what truly matters but there’s one team that I heard uh being linked to Victor olison it was Nashville they need more scoring they need help uh in their middle sck olon would be able to do that I guess he could do that so if you but if you trade olison right now I think you’ll only get maybe a maybe a fifth round pick for him maybe a fourth if you’re really lucky but Barry trots I don’t see Barry trots their G the Nashville GM pay more than a fifth round pick maybe a prospect maybe a no-name prospect but Victor olison I wouldn’t say his trade value is very high you know when he scored 28 goals you probably should have traded him then right no he requested a trade everyone thought he was going to get traded before the season but that didn’t happen either oh never mind so yeah I wouldn’t I wouldn’t say uh that we should get much from him Edmonton definitely improved today yes absolutely Xavier worth what did you say Xavier I didn’t catch that crap damn it didn’t catch that before flew off my screen yeah but they improved did you know brandan rice Jerry Rice’s son is in the I did know that I I heard about that I saw the one clip of them of him critiquing his own son while doing his job on NFL network is this last year on his contract yeah it is this is olon final year on his current $4 million cap or contract Xavier Worthy is either going to become the next Tyreek Hill or John Ross I don’t know I’m worried about teams that do try to go get him though I don’t think it’s going to work out I I my my gut tells me John Ross just because I have a John Ross kind of like ruined fast wide receivers for me where they base all their skill based off of how fast they are kind of ruined that whole Trend before I wasn’t that horrible with it Luke mcaffrey Christian’s brother brother also in the draft is he uh is he a wide receiver or what is he there last season I saw a post that olison was traded for William neander and I got excited than Sawyer how could you believe something like that I’m sorry you can’t that that that’s too crazy that’s too wild to be ever true why would Toronto I know Toronto’s dumb but I don’t think they’d ever get rid of neander I feel like that’s a lopsided trade now if it ever happened I would drug Brad TR trevan and uh make it happen but that’s unfortunately ever going to happen I think the most we get for him is a fifth Ross out of football I take Alex neander for Vic at this point hey Alex neander got scored a hattrick against the penguin no against Vegas last uh Monday on Monday I believe he scored a hattrick against Vegas and now Vegas is probably going to go out and get Noah Hanahan in response Maris Goodwin track star with fril mcaffrey is a white out yeah I don’t know well we’ll see what Brandon Bean decides to do I like him to double dip at the wide receiver position go out also get a d lineman get a uh yeah get two wide receivers with the 11 picks if we keep all 11 picks two wide receivers one safety one Edge player maybe a linebacker back or two it’s one two 3 four five H we got yeah probably get another offensive lineman probably a uh left guard probably many picks one two three four five six at six picks utilize oh crap we’re back why does TNT do that to me why do they do that to me it’s so annoying anyways Toronto throws his one into the saber Zone looks like kale will be able to join back very soon folks so stick around for that here comes gurgenson though rumbling through Center out wide aoso his shot oh it hits the outside of the post now ooso finds Genson another short angle shot save made there by samsonov power holds it in at the point throws one all the way to the far side gurgenson can’t keep it in old man doesn’t have those Wheels anymore yeah but aoso hit the outside of the post there the most white outs ever taken in the draft was 35 is it really so you think the BS could find a Hidden Gem in the fifth or six round so we have a lot of picks this year and if I’m Brandon be maybe you want to trade up but I wouldn’t want to get too aggressive you have so many holes on the roster this has to be a very good draft this has to be if this is a truly a deep draft keep your picks make the picks trust that McDermot is a good enough head coach to develop them get the clock fixed here all right Toronto wins the face off gets it to the near side oh here is here’s K yes sir back from the dead he is uh he is back ladies and gentlemen we’ll get his face on the pretty face on the screen here real soon as the Sabres turn the puck over in the neutral zone up the far side goes Bobby mccan mccan tumbles awkwardly into the end boards there now this Leaf still have it in the near side corner tarz whacking away at it gets it to the point but it just trickles by lilligren Toronto gets it has to retreat now the Sabers looking for a stretch pass here right to tuck Alex tuck at Center I drops it back to Conor Clifton Sabers making a couple of line changes here Clifton gets it to Skinner Skinner missed the pass that one’s going to come back for nicing but Cal we uh we truly did miss you yeah that you know not much happened since I left but uh yeah still one to one uh the Sabers leading shots here 20 to5 with 18 minutes to go in this game and yeah I mean it’s anyone’s game I I mean technically the Savers are still you know in the playoff race 10 points out with the game in the hand if they win tonight they’re an even eight points out uh with Tampa Bay the Red Wings are also uh even with the Sabers but 10 points ahead even in games 10 points ahead so you never know maybe a five game win streak gets them back into the mix uh we’ll see what they do at the deadline if that helps them out here but seems like the sabers will be selling those Toronto comes into the saber Zone around all the way behind the net now Neil Ander trying to throw that one back out in front Sabers pick it off trying to go back the other way but cousins didn’t see the pass was happening Le Landeros seeing that it wasn’t a nice thing quickly gets it out of his feet off his stick off his stick goes up by almost trickles all the way between power and Clifton but Clifton ushers him away from the play now Clifton nearly stumbles over himself just kind of whips it along the near side boards but it’s kept in by benoa sloppy play from Conor Clifton goes to the Far Side there for Camp David camp for berzi bruzi to the point his pass though picked off by Perka now Perka can Le the three on two Rush the other way try his pass though intended for Greenway did not happen we play the Red Wings three more times yeah and theoretically if you won all three of those games suddenly things get a little interesting but I wouldn’t if you win tonight and if you win tomorrow night then you you know then you win those three games then it gets interesting but if you lose tonight you lose tomorrow night it’s it doesn’t even matter you know still a lot of work to do yeah it is a must-win tonight if you really think that the sabes have a 1% playoff chance tonight has to be the night but watch out Lucan was caught out of his net Toronto could not make it count though Savers along the near side boards trying to scoop this one out but Marner keeps it in Marner at the blue line under pressure from Olson spins away from him finds Matthews who drops it back to nce n now it below the goal line Marner again tripped up below the goal line no call from the referees and now the ref or the leaves have to get out as the Sabres move up the ice Olson down low to Benson Zack Benson on the line now with Peyton Krebs and Victor olon as Matthews and Krebs gets Tangled Up behind the net Matthews put his arm right around the neck of Krebs no call from the referees as the camera panned away from him the both of those two Krebs and Matthews they kind of have history more so though with Matthews and cousins yeah they were that was pretty pretty much uh a blatant hold there behind the N yeah they got tangled up but the raffle let that play on but here’s leushin turns it over as he tried to clear the puck out the far side taros was there Sabers though do a good work to steal from both of them to the point Conor Clifton watch out he’s falling down Toronto may go the other way but that pass great play there by the Savers to break that one up otherwise it was a breakway going for Toronto leushin heavy check made there by Eric Robinson behind the net Riley now finds a pass up the near side Dalene tips this one by goes behind Lucan and Lucan and leaves it there for Clifton but Clifton is he going to turn it over he elbows a man right in the head who was that that was yarn Crook and now the Sabres again turn it over Dalene I’m not sure what the hell he’s doing here on the shift goes to the point for DOI doy to berui berzi shot off of skade and well wide of the Target now the Sabers can slowly skate their way out before s Simone benois with speed trying to go back in Tangled up there with Ryan Johnson Johnson though on his high horse to get back there makes a beautiful play to break separate him from the puck as now he finds a crosses pass to power Here Comes Owen power inside tuck shot what a glove save by Sams sonov snare that one from The High Heavens to keep this game tied up at one how does Krebs become the enforcer I’m not sure I don’t think it’s really that yeah that was that was an absolute snag yeah Krabs becoming the enforcer yeah I mean they put him on that fourth line for a whole year and kind of said Krabs that’s your new job here and you know you got to give him credit he’s at least been doing that but you know a guy of that stature of that size cannot be your tough guy right teams are not going to take you serious and it’s not all that effective either berzi whacks this down with a high stick eventually though plans to touch it up did he did he there both players just kind of let it in happen time ticks away before the referees finally whistle play dead with 146 to go but we got 15 people in the chat folks make sure to hit that like button and subscribe if you like what you’re saying um Cal after a brief Hiatus again uh with phone issues he is back he’s recharged he’s happy to see the Sabers still in this game but K I wouldn’t say neither team has really taken control here tonight yeah definitely not still pretty even and I mean both teams really haven’t had juice this game right it’s kind of felt like a lackluster L you know just back and forth back and forth kind of a calm game nander had that goal that kind of you know split play up a little bit we thought the Le might run away with it they had some pressure but then all of a sudden the Savers come back and olon gets them right back in it and since then it’s really just been a nice back and forth here’s Greenway after the Sabres get this one out of the Zone get it to cousins who finds PKA walk into the middle of the ice PKA his shot glances well wide of the target lilligren with the rebound picks it up Scoops it out of the Zone Dalene in his own end turns it over watch out now doi to The Far Side trying to cut back in towards the front of the net but petka was there to take his feet out from underneath them no call again from the zebras upo jersey for the Jews should I bring it out next commercial break I’ll bring out the upo goat head the demon head Jersey but here is is petka now JJ petka along the near side boards tripped up by Matthews Leafs get it out with n n has it stolen away from him from Jacob Bryson and I will say Bryson has not been bad this season he’s been very I mean the team is very good with him I think they’re like 11 and four or something like that with Bry and in the lineup so that’s pretty crazy pretty pretty strange one of the strangest stats in the NHL probably right oh boy but Bryson just whacked the crap out of a guy on the far side are the ref seriously not going to call that are you K you’ll know what I’m talking about when you see it but oh my god there was a hack in a half right there oh my God no yeah on Matthews too yeah I mean that was pretty obvious that was a slash but Bryson just got away with one right after I was praising him he nearly gives up an obvious penalty but that doesn’t happen we continue play on and Robinson has just tipped this Puck up and out of play commercial break time to get the Luca and jersey for the juice beautiful absolutely beautiful boys and girls in the chat we go to commercial break here and we have ladies and gentlemen we need to pray minutes folks I’m sorry C I’m sorry to interrupt you but we we have to pray to the goathead Jersey okay dear uko son of Pekka please give us a proper game I need some [ __ ] howery to make fun of Toronto fans please thank you amen thank you everyone thank you for indulging uh this game is a snooze invisible call yeah oh Bryson Bryson Bryson Bryson yeah folks I’m sure if you ever go back and rewind this game on HBO or TNT if you have it you’ll see it was just a two-handed Fallout Smackdown there by uh Jacob Bryson but other than that though he’s been playing very solidly this season for the Buffalo Sabers and I kind of think he’s better than than Conor Clifton now way better yeah UK l come on yes sir UPL for the win but there’s we return to play there as Conor Clifton he’s sticking his tongue out as the cameras show him they’re just replaying his elbow there on uh was that no that was yarn crook call yarn crook that though maybe was Noah Gregor but yeah there was a couple of old ladies in the corner there that went after that hit right to the face oh yeah how how do you feel about the nickname ukie Pooky he is my Pooky Bear yeah eka lukan and ukie Pooky ukie Pooky is that is that is that is that what you call him Cal is is here ukie Pooky N I wouldn’t say so but you know that there’s that video Tage calling them that it’s hard to take a guy serious on the te call them ookie Pooky ookie Pooky bro these funny cuz he’s just like an absolute Mammoth of a human too I know he’s like 66 he’s a sixi 66 demon but there is Matthews going into the goalie there as Lucan in comes out to challenge him makes a big save scary good Channel RJ Victor hack trick potentially I wouldn’t go as far to say Victor vo hadie but Matthews kind of had a broken play there may almost got around uh who was that Henry Yoki aru and uh could have resulted in the goal there but Matthews is foiled foiled by ukie Pooky ookie Pooky ukie Pooky lukan in he’s he’s got one of the funniest names in the NHL right did you see though when the Sabres face Florida on ESPN plus they had his name as Uka Pekka and their little their little goalie like Kiron before the game UK Uka Pekka I was like good I don’t think that’s it you see that guy that just got signed with what team is his name’s like Ivan Ivan Ivan is it serious they’re just coming up with EA generated names at this point but here is here he is Ivan Ivan Ivan is his name he’s for the Avalanche what Ivan Ivan Ivan It’s So Random why why of all the names what is he’s got to be rushing or something oh my God cousins why why is bro skating away from that Matthews though eventually stripped Krabs going for the floater looking for the breakway to Dylan cousins couldn’t reach him and as Matthews now dances with the puck at Center ice now he’s at the end of a shift though so he’s going to have to head back to the bench as he drops it to TJ bro bro now forward to Riley Riley to Yar crook y crook out wide for mccan McAn on the backand sends one towards the net pad stop made there by lukan and rebound goes to the point for Brody now to McAn walks out takes the shot rebound stopped now it’s still loose in front Sabers are whacking away at him Marner is there it’s behind lcan and now he goes behind the crease behind the net to Conor Clifton and he will scoop this one out to Center ice and Beyond Toronto starting to put the pressure on Sabres have to watch out here as tarz makes a move at Center gets it Forward Here Comes Toronto again but it’s a low wrer right into the glove of ukie Pooky yeah he’s from the Czech Republic Ivan Ivan Ivan Ivan I love that I love that name for him did his parents think that there was anything wrong with that when they first named him must it must be like a tradition in their family just you just got the same surname and first name yeah it’s his name is literally Ivan Ivan 511 his father’s name is m Ivan M but he’s he’s just Ivan all right he’s not Ivan Ivan Jr gour Miller has revealed what his middle name is though I I’ll look at that after this play dies down here Toronto still going around in the offensive zone Sabres get it out though courtesy of Tuck off the chest and out now Riley turns it over goes straight into the stick though of Skinner or the skate uh oh my God yeah I Ian Ivan’s middle name is Ivan it’s Ivan Ivan Ivan his name is courtesy of TSN thank you gour Miller But Here Comes Buffalo tuck Banks is one off the boards looking for Tage Tage couldn’t get it up by us now DOI finds berzi berzi with less than 10 to go here in this period berui to the corner ragd doll’s a man Johnson but Johnson does just enough to get it away from him and now tuck turns it over Skinner had his back turned the play turnover here C with a longrange shot stopped by Lucan but Skinner no IQ once again just kind of had his head going the other way head up his ass and it nearly costed them yeah I was going for a change there and lucky UPL was awake there to glove that one down yeah but folks if you really thought I’m kidding I was not I am not Ian Ivan Ivan his name is Ivan Ivan Ivan a true legend a legend of the game what a legendary name the guy is so nice they named him Thrice BR he puts all other Ivans to shame seriously oh boy kale I got a question for you for the bills it’s a bills question should we sign Jamal Adams o I don’t think so I mean we we do need a safety but I just I don’t know it’s going to be a lot of money I think um and Jamal Adams has had a lot of ups and downs and yeah I’m going to say no what leafes picking up the pace can Sabers match them doesn’t look like it and that’s kind of disappointing Sabers haven’t played since Sunday when I stream this is actually my third game straight streaming then no it’s Fourth game fourth game straight Panthers Tampa Jets actually no Vegas I forgot about Vegas that was in between so no the streak was broken ladies and gents Ivan Ivan Ivan needs an electric van or an F Van Every life is a miracle yes yes it is Real Deal you’re getting to the heart of it we got to go out and trade for Ivan Ivan Ivan do you think uh who’s who’s he Prospect of sorry K you’re gonna have to disip oh he is okay yeah here he is folks oh you can’t really see them you can see the Colorado thing though in the corner you could have been part of the trade today it would have made sense I I don’t understand why they didn’t do that though come on why they throw in Ivan yeah I the third power can you imagine if he actually becomes like a huge Hockey Star and we have to keep saying in the broadcast it’s Ivan Ivan Ivan he’s won it the St Ivan to the third power Ivan cubed it’s the cubster Ivan Ivan Ivan he’s won it but anyways let’s get off the Ivan let’s get back to the play here we’ve restarted folks as Toronto immediately coming back up by us after the Sabers momentarily cleared it but the Sabers they ran out of gas last third period they can’t have that happen again here tonight but here’s Jordan Greenway up The Far Side throws this one into the Toronto Zone Riley is there turns it straight over to petka centers this one to the point Dalene one timer wide rebound goes just wide from Jordan Greenway he had a clear Lane to the back of the net couldn’t get it there and he looked Skyward afterwards but here’s Miner not un out of danger yet they get it to the line not out good keeping momentarily by bka but Toronto gets it out on the second and third try and now Greenway absolutely dogs a player but doesn’t stop Marner from getting the puck now on the near side boards cross I pass to Marner he has it stolen away from him though cousins up the ice looking for Eric Robinson Robinson loses the foot race to TJ Brody now Brody up the near side boards BS it forward a little bit to DOI now cross ice has neander puts the burners on neander around behind the net still has the puck now throws it through the middle of the ice taken away by Buffalo and here they come again gurgenson with some space on the backhander ushers this one to the corner for Robinson but he banked it over one past one player and now he goes out of the Zone his son will be Ivan Ivan Ivan the second Jesus Ivan Cube Jr aosa did a good job to keep that puck away from neander just now Sabers get it two Center I as the uh the leaves have now overtaken the Sabres in the shot count hasn’t been that way since they had a 60 lead early in the first here’s Clifton Banks this one forward to Olson Olson now to gurgenson gurgenson off the boards at the end of the shift throws this one in Benson on the four check olison nice slip there from my boy vo has been one skates forward for yeah here’s DOI trying to Center this one Sabres break it up but can’t get it out now here’s yarn crook on the far side looking for tarz tarz just had that one out of his reach now mccan skting skating after this one he throws it to the far Corner again for Ryan Johnson Johnson meets tarz there tarz trying to get to the point jar crook ushers it back the final way Shepherds it back uh they send a shot doesn’t get all the way through doesn’t even to Lucan in now Benson trying to get it forward to Benson Benson come on now buddy you got to get it out Krebs there with th some help they finally do with seven minutes to go here in the third period shots in favor of Toronto 23 to 20 but the score still noted up at one here’s Lucan has to get rid of that puck quick he does but not out Gregor finds his man Reeves down low Ryan Reed with the puck along with David Camp down there tuck steals it away from both of them but he misses the pass for Dalene Dalene out to Skinner Skinner now to Dalene turns it over in front oh what a great opportunity for no Gregor now no Gregor spin aama shot not he did not get all of that one but Toronto keeps it in the zone benois down low to Reeves Reeves leaves it there for Dalene Dalene had a horrible giveaway one time now gives it to Tage he turns it over as well but gets it back again finally gets it out of the Zone Savers relieve some of that pressure as the puck goes down the ice SK on the four check along with tuck tuck throws his man down to the ice the Sabres with that uh extra time on the puck can regain control at Center I here yeah Savers are just hanging on here it seems like they’re doing the same thing they did against the Winnipeg Jets when they had the lead and were tied in that game just you know trying to hang on and that just doesn’t work not against these B better teams no you can’t do that here’s PKA trying to go behind the net the Sabers shouldn’t they have no reason to be tired though Sabers have no nothing to lose I mean this team should be going all offensive right now trying to get a goal why not why not but PKA turns it over along the boards Marner has it on the blue line gives it to n one timer wide of Lucan it rebound picked up by power flips this one along the boards but it goes def Flex off n’s stick and out of play with 522 to go and TNT is going to go to their final commercial break here but D just blatantly turned it over that was horrible Dalene had a rough shift last time out and kale every time we see TNT go to commercial they keep doing this flag an uh animation behind the thing and they still use the Sabers old logo what the hell are they doing annoying y still got the navy blue and what the silver accent I again I don’t understand ESPN still uses it all the time to I guys it’s R like five years I mean I get if it’s like one year but it’s a significant change I mean it’s a color change the logo looks crisper it’s not like a slight my new detail I mean it’s it’s a big enough change where that should not be the case but I don’t know they won a point torono is really getting in Kik and Ivan are buddies are they they should be they’re on the same same national team for juniors the Junior tournament World Juniors you know the thing the tournament kale is invisible again we’re back we’re back um but I I on that could be a dynamic duo I don’t know yeah but folks continue to hit that like button we have five minutes to go here 522 to be specific uh 12 likes we can get to 15 we can get to 15 guys let’s go come on now rally the troops rally the troops let’s make it happen I hope they just aren’t trying to settle for a point because you know Toronto are power or overtime Merchants I think they only have like three more regulation wins than Buffalo do which is buffalo buffalo does which is insane let’s go BSC over any other broadcast he appr we appreciate that Dave thank you every time someone says Ivan I keep thinking about the bad guy from Iron Man not even iron the Ivan the Terrible Russian historical figure that’s I I just think of Ivan cubed K’s K’s off in his own Universe right now folks I him that’s my guy him and the William matar shirt on we’re goingon to be 20 next yeah guys if you if you guys didn’t see it earlier here we have her Nar call William matar 44 four4 of course yeah oh but uh 517 Toronto or Sab clear the Zone momentarily Toronto re-entered off sides but here’s the fourth line still out here for the Sabers it’s gens SS against the first line the Marner Matthews neander line Matthews wins the face off against gurgenson they Circle it between the two defenseman now whip this one into the saber Zone shots disappeared in favor of Toronto 9 to one so the Sabers really need to get something going here aoso throws his one well wide of the target Robinson was there immediately Chi that one towards the front but gurgenson misplay or was out of position so Marner can go back up ice with relative ease here comes now Mitch Marr centers this one to neander neander tried to make one more pass all the way through but it was picked off by poo who gets it just out of the zone to Robinson Robinson’s pass though all the way down the ice no icing against him though matar it’s your boy dog I thought I’d never ever see you again I’ve been missing you for a couple streams he’s back I thought matar was an Albany guy no he’s a buffalo guy they may have offices in in Albany though I think they were maybe they were parody on they’re spoofed on uh were they spoofed on SNL the one time or was that s and Barnes had to be Selena probably oh yeah matara has some Albany offices yeah but here comes tuck receiving a nice pass tuck trying to dance through through a couple of defenseman there for Toronto couldn’t get the shot off though gets it to The Far Side in the end for Skinner back to tuck tuck off the boards centers this one missed the pass from Power who’s kind of sleeping at the point but he had to take a central position he was the only defenseman back as Bryson had jumped up into the play yeah get the points exactly saber send this one again down the ice but it’s going to come back for an icing not the what what what they’re doing with these passes I don’t get it you have a wide open forward player why why do these ners miss these passes so much you think they’re easy yeah I don’t know it’s just H Puck was just bouncing there I I don’t know right down the middle of the ice there and that forces the Savers line that’s already been out there for a little bit to stay out there and you know that is the worst thing possible towards the end of games when you get stuck out there on a long shift at the end of the game your legs are heavy and that is it’s going to play in favor of the Leafs here as they have an offensive zone face off with the fired group but good thing is off that face off neander wins it but it goes between leushin and Riley all the way down the ice so Toronto’s going to have to come back again three and a half to go here in the third Riley to the outside now to the corner Dalene eventually gets it circles this one goes all the way down the ice for yet another icing call against Buffalo 18 people now in the chat rally circle the wagons folks Sabers and leaes going down to the wire here only a couple more minutes but unfortunately Toronto looks like the better team at the moment not like another icing there and the Savers are really just hanging on for dear life here just iceing the puck which I gu is fine I think they realize that Toronto isn’t on their aame tonight too and they realize that they can just in the point no we have we may have a penalty here no Dalene just took a guy down he tackled him for Christ’s sake I’m not a and he just cross checked a guy Dalene is just he’s getting away with highway robbery and now neander going in for another little check there on him things starting to get chippy between D but the sabr just cannot get the puck out right now they’ve had so many opportunities and another lazy attempt to get it out you can’t do this boys Toronto gets it to the far post DOI was there couldn’t get it to the front Greenway now has it in the far Corner trying to Circle it back to the defenseman he cross checks a man gets it out of the Zone just far enough for Brody to try think he may have a shot to get it back in but he didn’t he couldn’t and uh the Sabres can get off the ice but Dalene was just dead tired he fell backwards took a man out that was neander leaes fans really really pissed there wasn’t a call on that one I don’t blame him I mean that back to back I mean you had the cross check along the boards but first you had that tackle that you talked about and I mean yeah I mean he denene kind of just slipped turning around trying to keep up with neander and took him down and no call and that’s that’s probably like the fourth or fifth no call we’ve seen this game that’s pretty much un blatant for both sides so interesting they’re letting him play here oh there was a good opportunity for n in front of the net luking it with a good kick save there on sabes though still in their own end they get it off the boards gurgenson can’t get it out this Toronto for che is Relentless at the moment Sabers eventually do get it down the ice but expect Toronto to immediately come back but there is actually a misplaced pass by Toronto so this is going to be coming back with for an icing call with 155 to go here in the third yeah Sabers just got to hang on here and they are they are dead and they got a game tomorrow night too so this is not I don’t know what’s going to happen there if we end up going to OT and potentially a shootout Krabs Benson Victor best option to close it out yeah that first line for Buffalo tuck Tage and Skinner just hasn’t done enough here tonight but out here is Skinner and the first line leaning into this one against Matthews and Marner and nander Skinner loses the face off Sabers forced to come out of the Zone here power across to Jacob Bryson he just about crossed that red line gets it deep leushin is there first on the puck for the leaves easily gets it to The Far Side for yarn crook yarn crook gets out of the pressure now finds it forward to Matty n nice some serious gun gumbo against Bryson but Bryson finds a pass forward tuck with a short angle rebound goes in front to Skinner but that one just went wide oh man that was the opportunity that one was the opportunity right there Skinner somehow can’t get it on nut what happened to our boy ah but that was a great great play by Alex tuck and now the Sabers again send this one deep into the Toronto Zone maybe that’ll give him some life here here’s Skinner makes a stop start move loses control of the puck Toronto gets it back with McAn less than a minute to go folks in this third period Here Comes Toronto into the saber Zone behind the Ned mccan thrown to the boards there by Yoki Yu they get it to The Far Side Sabers eventually bounce it out to Center Ice once again we’re see benois picks it up for Toronto on the backhander gets it to The Far Side for William Legas Legas says it pass forward but it it’s turned over Greenway leading it back for Buffalo gets it forward to middle or I miss middle stat it’s p I’m but Greenway cross the power onetime ding what a save by samsonov on the redirection how did he make that save it took a down now PKA gets taken down to the ice is there going to be a call for that I don’t think I don’t see an arm But Here Comes Buffalo again through the high slot Greenway trying to go outside with that one bruzi couldn’t make it happen and that’s going to do it here in regulations Sabers nearly won it at the death but we go to overtime ladies and gentlemen wow but Dalene shot one timered it was redirected by cousins in front went straight down do straight down on uh Samson off and I’m not sure how we got a pat on that one but folks we are going to overtime here tonight wow each team wow wow wow each team wins a point Cal big win for the Sabers if you ask me they do um okay so since you are ahead of me I’m GNA take the headset off so I will still be here you can see my live reaction I’m not going to look at you I’m not going to get spoiled I will I’ll I’ll still talk um well I actually I can slow slow it down I can pause it here and just let it let you catch up to me okay if you want to you’re a good 18 seconds all right be honest I’m I’m going to start right at uh I’m going to pause it right at the beginning of over time when they get back to the ice I’ll pause it and then and I’ll tell you when they drop yeah yeah you tell me I’ll I’ll get it right to puck drop okay so we can be on at the same time sounds good yeah but the Sabers and leaves play each other into a point here in Toronto is this the final time these two teams face each other this year uh I believe it is there might be one more but I yeah it’s got to be the last time right because I feel like I might be thinking of that preseason game too where they had at hockeyville let’s see I think this is though but it’s weird because we we faced Detroit three more times Tampa another time one more time oh okay March 30th the month in Buffalo okay y there’s going to be another Leafs Invasion there there here we go yep yeah but uh all right so R when puck drop drop happens folks I will pause it just so kale and I can be at the same time so neither of us spoils it I want I want each other uh to be able to see this at the same time but just looking back at a replay tuck his opportunity to Skinner in front o Sabers oh man Skinner just dragged it of the near side post but anyways kale I am I’ve paused it right on the picture of Granado and Greenway they just put up the Sabers record in overtime this season Sabers are 4 and three one- one in the shootout look at how many games Toronto’s gone to extra regulation 13 games in overtime six games went to a shootout I see that screen all right I see the records all right I’ll play it right there here we go folks but yeah Toronto has played 19 games to sudden death are you kidding me their experience their their wins in regulation have to be very low for a playoff team all right but here we go Sabres win the first face off that’s Big Tuck now with the puck has it to power but Power turns it over to Marner Marner putting the pressure on tuck there now Tuck’s going to try to skate out with it he gives it to own power maybe a two11 potentially here power with speed pulls up on the near side boards power has it drifts back towards the blue line gives it to Dylan cousins he’s going to go outside the blue line now two Center I here for with Morgan Riley closely watching him he drops it to tuck tuck with speed Down The Far Side around Matthews trying to Center this one in front it redirected right on gol samsonov made the save Toronto picks up the rebound with Matthews now here comes Austin Austin Matthews for the lease down the near side on the back cander goes all the way behind the net trying to drop this one back to Neil he has it stripped oh near by tuck but he turns it over again to Matthews Matthews has it again taken away from him by Tage Thompson now and Tage does a great move to get away from uh neander in the corner he Springs a pass forward to darene Here Comes Dalene holds on to it these two blue sweaters in front of him now Dalene outside to Tage Tage takes a long Route Around the Net Tage pressure on him turns it over it’s going to be maybe a two-on-one here for yarn crook yarn crook with knee Lander across to Yar Crook in front his shot just goes wide of the net he drops it back to Brody Brody to yook they move back into the neutral zone as their mates make a couple changes but they turn it over here’s Tage on the puck sees that his teammates as well are making changes Tage plays one back to Lucan Lucan his pass up by nearly picked off there by Matthews who was springing his way off the bench Dalene goes forward to cousins makes a move cousins splits the defenseman takes the high shot shot that one goes just High over the glove of samsonov Now power ushers a pass towards samsonov he will keep playing moving though keepy possession here for Toronto three minutes to go here in overtime Mitch Marner on the puck for Toronto he goes across to Matthews across the blue line marthews to the back hand has it pulls it inside for Riley Riley to the front of the net what a save by oh lcan and now he hits the outside than n with that one too and now the Sab trying to Spring a man forward it’s PKA here he comes JJ’s in what a stop by Sams sonov I believe it got it hit a piece of the post oh boy and an action there but look at tuck early in the uh overtime period his uh shot went off the Stick of the defenseman Riley right on goal to samsonov I want to see another replay here yeah we’ll get a replay of this Morgan RI League Play went all the way around hit the outside of the net too he was able to get by the CP check of Lucan okay okay Kell these overtimes are never easy on the heart now are they oh definitely not Savers win the face off huge Dalene with the puck spins out of the pressure of one drops it to is that Krebs it is Krebs gives it to Dalene again Dalene trying to break through the pressure there the lines now he finds tuck but tuck is stripped of the puck by nander what a great play by Dalene though to get by him Dalene the tuck shot stopped by samsonov rebound gets to the boards finds neander tuck got to be careful he steals it from him finds his Manan to the outside and quick shot pad stopped again by Sam sonov Toronto going to slow things down behind their on now go up The Far Side NE is it no way there’s no way that’s I see Tage out there Tage is one of the guys out there I thought I saw him it is olivon he’s out there oh my gosh what the hell come on olon can he get the game winner boost his trade de value he may have a shot here as the Sabers steal the puck from neander three on two the other way Sabers to Tage shot whoa what glove save by samsonov oh oh baby oh my goodness Tage curled and dragged it to the high snot and it’s a snare in that Lether he was thinking maybe going to the outside to olon olon was open out there but Tage took it up on himself and samsonov with a humongous stop there but Sabers with some excellent opportunities here in the overtime period another face off one there by Toronto Matthews wins it back to Riley Riley under some big pressure here from Skinner Riley trying to break away from him eventually drops it back to Austin Matthews one0 to go here in this overtime he gets it Forward Marner with speed here comes Mitch Marner for Toronto now he’s going to bust back up towards the Blue Line plays it out of the Zone here with a minute to go in O overtime Here Comes Toronto again Mar looks over his shoulder centers this one to Riley Riley didn’t get the angle to take the shot but he gives it back to Marner Marner to the middle of the ice had the puck slightly roll off his stick gets it back from Matthews now Marner with a shot that one is stopped by lukin and again Toronto has it to the front scores Austin Matthews of course he wins it in overtime for Toronto with only 39 seconds to go here in this extended period darn darn darn yeah that’s a a tough sequence there Toronto had the puck in the zone for quite a while uh Savers clearly out of gas there and uh Puck found its way to the front of the net UPL unable to make the save overall decent game for the Sabers solid defense um they got a point but at this point in the season it doesn’t really matter Toronto takes this one two to one in overtime but they made it close they had some effort but uh tomorrow they’ll be back in action against as in the last game before the trade deadline yeah so uh the leaf beat the Sabres for the first time this season and as you mentioned Cal there is a backtack for the Buffalo Sabres they will play again tomorrow night in Nashville maybe we see Bo bym in his debut probably not but yeah I doubt it yeah but cousins and them darene was on the ice he looked like he wanted to break his stick on the post there but chose not to but bunch of Sabers players getting sucked down into the play Skinner was that too and uh what a great finish by Austin Matthews but unfortunately yeah it was a good game it was a good game no chance for upo on that one either but he had a very solid game for Buffalo another upo solid go tending showcase there but the Maple Leaves the big boys win it again unfortunately and uh yeah Cal that’s going to do it here for us then I guess huh yeah uh Charlie s did P play yeah did hit the post on
