0:00 Back to the line.

0:01 Rasmus Dalene spun it around.

0:03 Room behind the net and now into the corner.

0:07 Payton Prince tried to move it to the front

0:10 and was stopped but the Canadians couldn't clear down.

0:13 Rebound score.

0:15 Tage Thompson took it off the back wall.

0:19 53 seconds in.

0:21 Buffalo leads one to nothing.

0:23 Now it's the Sabres taking the air out early here.

0:26 Krebs does a nice job to control the puck

0:28 and as he heads to the bench on the change.

0:32 Rasmus Darene shot will go wide to the net.

0:34 It's a fortunate bounce and for the first

0:37 time since game one against the Savers.

0:39 Paige Thompson has scored.

0:41 He said game two was an absolute disaster.

0:44 Montreal wins the faceoff.

0:45 That's been a recurring theme.

0:47 Yeah, they're happy to have him back right out in front.

0:52 What a stop by Lion.

0:54 Suzuki.

0:54 Thompson will lead Suzuki.

0:56 They're chasing the puck at this point.

0:59 Thompson's got to recognize his guy.

1:01 Oh yeah, that's him right there.

1:03 It's Suzuki.

1:04 The diving poke check by L.

1:06 Den lost the puck for a moment.

1:08 Now he's double teamed.

1:09 It pops into the slot.

1:11 One handed down low and another big stop by Lion.

1:14 They've had two good chances and it's been their big boys.

1:17 Suzuki and now Cfield.

1:18 Caulfield has shot the puck under.

1:21 More on that in a second.

1:23 Cfield shot blocked by Samuelson.

1:25 And now Lane Hudson down low.

1:27 Another great chance for Suzuki.

1:29 And Lion held the post.

1:31 They've killed 15 of the last 16.

1:34 Given up only one power play goal over the last six games.

1:39 Fewest ever allowed by Buffalo in that span of the playoffs.

1:43 New hook stopped by Lion.

1:44 He is so nimble that when he gets across the line,

1:48 everybody has to focus on him.

1:50 including that game six that forced the deciding game seven down in Tampa.

1:55 Deno a blast elected to go the slap shot from the dot to score goals.

2:01 Denoa checker a tremendous face off.

2:03 Ryan knows who the shooter is.

2:06 So watch how aggressively he pushes out.

2:09 He's way out top of the blue games in Buffalo.

2:12 He got smoked on his first shift.

2:14 Was hoping to avoid that tonight and I think he has.

2:17 We didn't notice him getting flat.

2:19 Centering pass and a point blank chance for Valeno.

2:23 Denied by Lions as you see about seven of them are GradeA variety.

2:28 Lion probably could do a little more with that puck.

2:31 He leaves it there.

2:33 Timonss doesn't have the inside lane to it.

2:36 Really good for check.

2:38 Bulldog shields away Timmons.

2:40 And look at and goes to the red line.

2:44 Hudson got there ahead of Quinn.

2:47 Thompson off the stick of Mloud off the back glass to Canadians unfortunately.

2:55 It leads to another chance.

3:01 Finally they score.

3:05 Alex New Hawk again.

3:11 This was seemingly inevitable.

3:13 The Sabers getting outworked again behind the net.

3:17 Another grade a chance that's deflected off of Byum.

3:21 Lions able to make that.

3:23 But when the puck bounces out front and goes to New

3:29 Hook New Hook's able to put this into the net,

3:36 it bounces off 40 goals in the regular season.

3:39 He led Buffalo for the fifth year in a row.

3:41 He heads to the net.

3:42 Here's Krebs the trailer and the rebound car down at the slot.

3:46 Copsky Benson in the last game.

3:49 This last chance is by Krebs and Dovishes off the back wall to Cawfield.

3:59 Damov Hudson.

4:00 What a move.

4:02 Hudson out in front of it.

4:06 Score.

4:06 Finally called Cfield.

4:10 And it's turn on.

4:17 Was going to break through.

4:18 This felt the same.

4:19 Greenway's out there doing what he can without a stick.

4:23 So Hudson's able to dance around him.

4:27 He doesn't look for Cfield.

4:30 He sees him out of his peripheral vision here and he drops it right on the tape.

4:36 You think Cole Cfield's going to miss that?

4:40 Taxier steps away from Cowell.

4:42 Anderson room right out in front.

4:45 Back hand off.

4:46 Rebound.

4:46 No goal.

4:47 And the pressure will continue to come.

4:50 He's got the puck here and he gets out.

4:53 Has played in the last four games now.

4:56 Missing the beginning of the series against

4:59 Tampa Bay which the Havs won in seven.

5:01 All of them onegoal games.

5:04 Here's Veno.

5:06 score Duke.

5:09 Beautiful shot just inside the post.

5:16 Three to one Montreal.

5:21 This puck will get chipped up the boards and Joe Valento

5:24 in his third playoff game is going to run it down.

5:28 Find Book coming in late.

5:31 He puts it right on the stick and with Tuck trying to deny him.

5:36 Bullduke is able to jam this in.

5:39 His second goal of the playoffs.

5:43 He had an assist in game one.

5:47 Coughfield.

5:48 Hudson has it back from Cawfield.

5:51 Flips a target up.

5:53 They score.

5:54 Tapped in by Slamovski.

5:57 Another power play goal.

6:02 Now it's 4 to1 Montreal.

6:08 Canadians never leave the zone.

6:10 They wear the penalty killers out.

6:12 This time it's Hudson who finally gets the puck to the middle of the ice.

6:17 They've been working it across the crease.

6:19 Hudson shot.

6:20 A beautiful tip by Slowski.

6:21 He scored three power play goals in the first playoff game down in Tampa Bay.

6:27 He hasn't scored since.

6:28 This hits his stick, hits his leg and squeaks through Alex Lion.

6:33 Three puck comes to Deno with a lot of help coming.

6:38 Good stick by Byron cuz Texier was wide open.

6:43 He centers for Anderson.

6:45 Stopped by Lion.

6:47 A huge save.

6:48 Den is on the top of the power play.

6:51 They're three for the last 55.

6:53 0 for the last 29 on the road.

6:57 Dale scores.

6:58 It hit the back of the net and came out quickly.

7:01 But it's a power play goal for Buffalo.

7:05 And they're back within two.

7:08 Now you never have to enter.

7:11 Look at Dobish's head.

7:13 Dobish's head is to the left of Mike Mat in front of the net.

7:18 Zack Benson's got a screen and he shielded Mat so Mat can't push him out.

7:24 makes this play.

7:26 No, he free.

7:27 He has it back with more room this time.

7:31 That pass got deflected.

7:32 Gloved out by Cfield and he walked right to the net front.

7:37 Lion held the post.

7:39 Suzuki for Hudson.

7:40 One timer David off.

7:43 Another 50 seconds in the period now.

7:46 35 on the tuck pedaling.

7:49 Out in front off Kirby Dock.

7:51 Stopped by Lion and cleared the length of the ice by Mloud.

7:57 Three shots on goal in this Canadian.

8:00 This one he rings off the crossbar.

8:03 He puts his head straight up and he yelled,

8:06 "Oh my god, I can't believe." No, they did not.

8:10 Five goals against each series.

8:11 Doc stepped into one as it came to him.

8:14 Hudson down low trying to set up Evans at the doorstep.

8:18 Moments before Kirby Dock almost makes it 52

8:22 as he walks into that puck that spins out.

8:26 Doc gets to walk right into this.

8:29 And now Mloud.

8:30 Mloud has it back from Tuck.

8:33 This is the second power play unit.

8:35 Free puck.

8:35 Byum had a whack at it from his knees.

8:38 It's at his feet down low to Tuck on the power play.

8:41 This power play does everything but score.

8:44 What a great reactionary save by Dolvish.

8:46 He spreads out to make one and this one on Fire is a beauty on the forehand.

8:52 That's off Dovish and up in the air.

8:55 Gloves down and skated away.

8:57 Twoon one.

8:58 Texier with Deno.

8:59 Deno back for Texier.

9:03 Sliding across line.

9:05 They score.

9:06 Kirby Don on the rebound.

9:18 Twoon one as Buffalo pressures.

9:20 Bane is way down by the offensive net.

9:23 He can't get back and it leads to the twoonone.

9:27 Deno Tessier.

9:27 This shot hits the goal post and as the puck pops out, Kirby Doc standing there.

9:34 Docwalk robbed earlier as Lion made a blocker stop.

9:39 This time there's no help.

9:41 This puck goes through D.

9:43 Final five minutes brought to us by Kayak as we paddle toward the finish.

9:49 Here's New Hook.

9:50 Ryan to it.

9:52 New hook is hooked.

9:54 It hit the post, but Dene's going to be penalized.

10:00 That becomes the goal.

10:05 It is a goal.

10:06 It's two and three been like for Alex New Hook.

10:10 He's got four goals,

10:11 including this empty net that he races to and gets in front of Dalline.

10:16 There's where it would have been a penalty shot.

10:19 And as there is no goalie, there is no penalty shot.

10:23 It becomes an awarded goal.

10:25 Krabs throw a left and Kier still throwing some punches.

10:29 Jack eyee knocked down Carrick, I believe.

10:32 And here they go.
