GAME 7 FORCED as Buffalo Sabres blowout Canadiens in Game 6 win
The Buffalo Sabres facing elimination go to Montréal and stampede the Canadiens with an 8-3 win. It was arguably the most complete playoff game the Sabres have played all playoffs, with the only negative being Alex Lyon in the first period.
Led by a five-point night by Rasmus Dahlin and another stellar performance from Zach Benson, the Sabres new look lineup came to play. Especially the new top line of Benson-Josh Norris-Tage Thompson. Lindy Ruff decided to mix up the lines, and it worked expertly. Zach Metsa entering the lineup also was a good sign.
With Lyon having such a terrible first period, it was up to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to come in and save the day. While not tested a ton, UPL made some critical saves, and is now looking at being the starting for Game 7.

Imagine the fan base having the resolve of the team
This is why
1- Dahlin deserves that Norris trophy, and
2-Lindy deserves that Jack Adams
Watching the game with my Girlfriend (she’s a leafs fans) Habs take a 2-1 lead and she screams YESSS I ask I thought you hated the Habs? She says yes I do but I can’t stomach the thought that the Sabres will go as far in 1 year as the leafs did in 9. It took the leafs 9 years to get to game 7 of round 2 it took us 1. Go Sabres
Thought power was the calmest player ive ever seen in that kind of environment, never panicked and made some great decisions to skate the puck out our dzone!
But timmins was the best player, so so many ridiculous little plays that never see a score sheet. I found myself just watching him in our dzone. And most of the year while he was playing sparingly, i didnt think he really fit on our team cause of his lacking offensive abilities. But i was 100% wrong cause his own zone play , in rhat game last night, to me, LEGENDARY!!
We are going to NC on Thursday
"Won't Ever Trust Either Goalie" ? What about some other factor, like rest? It's not just about being the "hot hand" or one is better than the other. It's about being sharp THAT DAY.
Metsa World Peace.
Joe,
Add a second jersey over your left shoulder for balance on your telecast. Take away so much WHITE.
Great job.
Ruff finally took Schenn and Stanley off the ice. They are too slow to play against the Habs. He finally broke up Tuch and Thompson. Again, the two are too slow moving to play on the same line.
The best defense is a good offense. The Habs barely had the puck. We have to make it easy on luuk if we want a change to win
This was such a good game. I loved the line changes, Lukk showed his best side, we took penalties sure, but it wasn't a constant MTL PP….. yes. We need that again at home. This W is W one on our next win streak. LETS GO!!!
Lindy Ruff always brings the best out of Buffalo. Period. As a player, as a coach if he's here we are doing well….. you can't tell me I'm wrong.
Stay in MTL until tomorrow and tell the guys they can’t see their families until they win game 7
Dude 2 empty netters…6/3
Could the difference between home and away success be attributed to the ice surface? Their passing completion % appears to be much higher on the road.
It was the hell of a 7 games battle, but the Sabres are simply better coached and too big for the small habs. The Habs are drained, exhausted. The tank is empty.
Lindy. “JFG”! Make the t-shirt! Just F-in Go! Buffalo
Algo
i was at the watch party at the arena, it was a great time!! go sabres
There’s a Hurricane Coming 🌀
Did you fill out your UPL apology form Joe?
whatever happens in g7, win or lose, just dont lay an egg.
JFG!
I hope the boys are in a hotel today . hopefully in Montreal.
Was at the watch party last night and it was ELECTRIC! Game 7 is gonna be nuts!
This is simple. Sabres best game beats Habs best game, hands down. So you Habs fans just pray about it. A “God” can’t even get rain right, and it took him billions of years to put miserable humans on a miserable planet. Good luck with your hockey game!
UPL would make a great backup goalie. Plays well that way!
If UPL starts, 2 goals quickly anywhere PULL HIM.
Backup should be Ellis.
If you do this why NOT start I Ellis!
Ellis played well for Sabres! Last game was 5-0. Ellis is a good rebound Goalie!!!!
Honestly whoever wins gets rolled by CAR
Mtl gange 🙏
About time he brought Metsa on
We better bring our AA game because Montreal 100% will, can't take any shifts off and stay out of the box. UPL's biggest game coming up, he can't fail. Montreal is in the Sabres head, we have to be beyond ready.
