2/10 Paul Hamilton joins Schopp and The Bulldog
Here's Paul Hamilton. Who was no help when we talked about all all well what happens you can't all offer and thought about bought. Which lets ask you the question which is worse. To live with for buffalo sports fans your one wouldn't wide right or no goal. I would no gold because. It's just it's it didn't all the let me in the role of the game the one thing amend the NHL decides well. presented the Stanley Cup what they got some memos that we supposedly sent out to team. Also 45 minutes later we have copies of memos that didn't exist. And there was just to cover up afterwards to me that made the whole thing worse. In Paris was a Mets bats the way this story has unfolded here almost from the word goal. There's no doubt about it the veracity getting that right I mean like that that's that's what happened right. But they know brought back the gold belt reviewed by I thought somebody was in that This is the goal was scored. Louis stood up but he says that great these animals to get up the story went never never did you look at. Tried to get to the cottage. So the minute period they were speeding up that every goal that was scored in the playoffs we've reviewed. And I believe there were two goals scored from the Red Line in the playoffs is like really did you review those calls to the shop from the Red Line that would then there are. That are you know and then now we're gonna come to find out and that the fact that that goal was never how about that Dallas has now won here since that night. There's the regular C remember one person when he was first whom coaching appearance. form it's admit it like yesterday. It doesn't seem like that. All this time has passed since that happened that. It certainly but to me just it seemed like it happened last. Here or. Do you run. Do you think it do you remember thinking about the sabres chances in the seventh game what you were thinking about them where you where you not. All of that mindset yet by you know the late going game six. I hadn't gotten there yet just because I was just so. Gravitated to game six that Patrick you know across sparked. That girl won the game a to handle that it was a forty gore was I'd I would belt or not once but twice. Where he was off to decide that with the populace is he involved ornery when you've lost will be immediately. And if Beijing had your you set it up because the set it up any better your best schools gore. That with a golden opportunity to win the hockey game another guy hits the crossbar mean there's so many. Absolute lows of that overtime you Madonna was playing very hurt. Would he be able to continue pretty keep going and then I might spot immediately it would have been pretty play games seven. And both he all on further. Yeah we've always heard and maybe if we talk about this with robbery and I would I would guess would be a reminder at least have a brief conversation if not longer with him about it. maintained over the years you probably heard this to Paul through the years there are a bunch of guys but Dan all all included. Who are for sure mcdannold natural about whole thought like there's no wait we gonna be all the ports altogether play games up. But it shocked that it now you don't know after the game but it's just. Posturing. But it's not that after the game that those guys were done that once they were particular uniform off and pulled out there was no way. The gotten themselves ready for game seven played is that non you don't wanna. So today but it was that he knows I mean you can that these is that after the series is over. Paul Hamilton with us okay to the president the sabres are playing well. And they have an opportunity here with home games against teams. The next to these two this weekend are not in the top eight in the respective conferences. Really a good opportunity here to make it interesting right. Yet not this size and not one more than back to back out not one second night they're always want. So we know that that's a good sign for the sabres that you know maybe they can. Jump on the stars since they don't play well and back to back situations. Vanderbilt didn't. A little bit frustrated because it brought out picked up not it's employing. But yet you're still ports behind your in the same position you were when you started. Lindy that no they are not in this of that mindset because. They have a bunch of games and endorsing in the apple war. That the use for example was eleven points up it was a war games in Vietnam. And so have to play it yet. So you can pick up most of that one point about right there. And you're all. So they're looking at do what you did last year when they have games and they want them. We're able. They'll come back in the and make the playoffs so they certainly have to happen again they can afford to lose games in the end when they're getting them. I think you know it it's everybody might if there are inclined to look at the standings at all and try to run the race however they wanna run a race. With that frustrated point in mind Paul but I know for me looking at the standings every day. It would do me a world look good to see them like be able to get all Wear off the Winnipeg out there. You know they're six points behind would have picked not nothing. Here but they've got a few three games in hand on them and it's like we win these games here and and see if you can't. Let me plot with the principal analytical and take this seriously I gotta get in front of them. Pretty soon I think guys were there last night though and give my say yeah sure. Give myself in all to myself fighting chance to just have a team in front of me on trying to down set up for. You can deal itself right now I mean win tonight and tomorrow you're pretty much shaken up a little bit and gotten so even in games. Don't have one game and kind of believe four point insult. If you don't. You be when you get the opportunity like that especially in debt situation. Which so happened to three NHL teams are residing in buffalo at this hour. You know campus just wait for the sabres at a practice today and there are. it out and tell them whatever they do they do watch the wherever they're gonna be up to tonight. Yup you this and you're there were just coming up the laser Paula I got here about ten minutes after two or so this afternoon. They actually their prices are funny bill actually goes for the to suspect in the neutral zone they just stand there. It's practice but I should talk about our I should I should put other how about the bandit coming back tonight what what's your guess I know wasn't a full. Full line states aligned and everything would be largely guesswork but what you think they're gonna do with coming back. That was an optional so there were no lines. For me I would put him and Stafford spot. And I practice I would sit down after which they're not going to do it like is going to be the other ordinance. But. It at least Stafford out of the fourth I would mess with the deadline was playing very well I wouldn't mess with the dark water line which also was playing very well. And I think. I'd like to see Bennett played with the other way and it went senate right now and the way. Are dubious playing a lot waiting to me it is pretty much less Stafford behind yet separate a garbage or the last game. But the two of them have basically left him behind. And it really I think gone ahead of him and show what they can do up. And is quite comfortable playing the right way and it's not a big deal for and so doubt be my move for night I I. Probably doubt that when you must move. I got to people put a mop either started on the fourth line were put about different group. Do you think and Roth plays tomorrow. The question. I don't well he got an almost the market now where we're coming up on the month mark. And Miller is just slight doubts Miller is now played a they've got I bought between games lately. So now Miller faces forty of 45 shot. Maybe that changes what we're talking about. Whether these were doing twenty and thirty. You know maybe maybe that would sort of agenda whatever I say it would over the opposite because I've never on and was critical vendors so. If I stay indoors play in the expectant world. Thanks for your time Paul. It you can predict but I'm going to say went well what is often happened in the past when win now Miller's hot. And the team is pushing which of course they are again this year Miller place until the bad game.

2/8 The Buffalo Sabres Postgame Show
Senator and they start clearing my kids who cheat These people really center right there were yapping for the Barclays dropped and away they went. Rick generate in the call you heard it live right here on the sabres radio network the second of the three big fights along the way more fisticuffs at the end of the game but at Colette and Cohen added about twelve minutes into the first period. That after earlier McCormick important when at a shortly fought late in the second period so. the Bruins. Tried to get under the skin of the sabres tonight buffalo did not back down in fact they challenged them and it really was trying to get the fans involved tonight and you know I I think that from what we see so far from the fans in this building that. We know the atmosphere in this year in this. In this first senate hasn't been the best and I think is just trying to respond we know Lindy the last home game talked about how intense the third in the OT was against the Rangers and you know maybe the financial stakes in here and say hey you know we bring the energy it helps the team bring the energy advice for seeing kind of play off each other and maybe have somewhat of a home ice advantage the sabres have been playing. Better at home we know of course they have struggled road for quite some time but. The home ice advantage in terms of what they've done. Since December has gotten themselves a little better in terms of their home record we know of course in the standings it's still my great overall and will update east standings are coming which shortly. Also being told. On from the sabres PR department that Lindy apparently is the one that's been addressed the media. Like normal. So our guest says he's not going to be in enough pain to to field questions although maybe after he's done believe that although. I don't know what to be asked tonight that's gonna make him and not feel happy about it. As his team a complete team effort. Physical quality there goaltending there with a shot out. Discipline their despite the fact that they didn't back down from Boston they gave up. No power play opportunities in the game a six coal outbursts the captain plays great I mean. It's it's about as a complete game as you could have asked for here at home and to do it against the Bruins the team right now that everybody likes that paid him that that's about as good and again. All right so apparently ruffled becoming shortly we'll get to him. And while we wait for that it's called in highlights from this game as the sabres. Were off and rolling early in this one we go to the 623 mark and buffalo getting on the board first Christian point shot finds the back of an. slams and atrocities across. Okay. Their fourth from Myers won nothing buffalo. Sabres a little later in the period add their lead comical goal and heart of the net and late I'll find them. constantly you know not around one giant legal walking into the planet spins quite. That's. 1449 mark of the first parliament building eighteen from and to nothing sabres that was the score after one. Early More goals for buffalo Tyler Ennis and for Tuukka Rask. sculptures in the it's. Okay the. tonight done three goals on ten shots at 152 the second and it's its forth and secure up. Three nothing buffalo the last and the sabres lead three nothing go back to the day after Christmas December 26. And a nothing win. Over the capitals. Late stages of period two sabres pouring it on Colette good work along the boards and he gets reward for his work to put the sabres up by four. Stolen away by try to get three in the corners you have to back becomes lost dad to come whether you get a shot. Colette and 1811 of period to his fifth from Boston for nothing buffalo that was the score as we headed into the third. And again early and bill his second of the night from again. Actively you know the success of I didn't. Rebound military. 118 into the third nineteenth through Plano and secure a five nothing sabres and right at the end for a little bit icing on the cake and ice feed to Stafford. Left behind and the way. 1858 mark ninth for medicine derby six nothing sabres that is your final score tonight. And for buffalo now for all in one. In their last five games buffalo getting tonight by Boston 36 to 29 your three stars Colette and number three and a number two Ryan Miller. Number one with the shutout effort tonight hear the post game we are awaiting Wendy comets and while we wait for Lindy. That's coming your way shortly up all right before we get to calls let's go to Lindy he's ready let's announced their lives. And it felt really good. good. You know people look to Millard Fillmore suburban took good care of me. I'm going to be down a little while but. That makes you feel better to you know compete was real good. Your ticket to winning game any day. Well until I can you know get more involved And to relinquish it can yell. You know we did when he gets. Just slow to carry on the line so. You know I've got to be careful and don't it. Division games where you and contact with the down. I think James and the guys they did a great job. Well prepared generally. They came out and we know my house yesterday and we we talked again this morning with a game plan and you know Jameson did a great job of taking the bull by the horns and assess. And sued just you urban Sharon I'm gonna do whatever C system wise but. I'm not giving him any advice on who to play and are playing just. It's all yours as Kevin did a great job with the defenseman. Temple got area. Real good look at like to behind there and he felt it couldn't believe intensity compared to sit in the press books. But I thought to coaches are held job is a street there's a credit he. That would normally see obviously that. Our First spill. I assure this is so critical enough. Get to a lot more And you know it's an easy game there really is but I thought our guys. Compete allows for five games have been great to shot blocking. You know you look at what. starting no easy task and factor. Nobody went into that top line. Try to get under your skin a little bit it was a you know we we've made some strides here it was didn't smallish back and compete hard and some samaritans. He's an old record when you look at its. Talent and the potential list there and obviously this was a good night for you it was a bad night for them go back. But then there's so much there that hasn't. It hasn't done their room and Marines in the more and it's like this. Well I mean few. Bill. And we were. Start the year we have a few games where it went pretty good. In the first ten or fifteen games. Yeah I think so it looks as extra in the corners and is you know we got a couple of and line and again this is made it. World of difference playing intimately knows gamble but he is he's really played well obviously a lot of things have enemy is or you or shelter tonight. The most tonight so. That's one of the best things Best you guys read this coming out here seem like quick bank saying you guys were up and running on. I think that. You know again we talked a lot of what to do execution part of passes on the and you know we started the game the other night you know press is enormously popular in you know as we got going where we were pretty good. You know we don't shut down there's valuable neutral bed please refresh your words we're we're on problem for him pretty well. It's. You know he's gotten around. You know a little bit of chemistry there was. you know going back to. Where you play Montreal and the goal to make. To get us going along around I think. He skated well couple great places illness mineral wells was. Right on Palmer's tapes so you know he's made some good plays this computer's been You know Sometimes it just takes time. Well I won't be on the issue practice I can't. It. It's just too dangerous you know there is Leo. No I I would like to be down you know mentioned just you know importance. Try to keep hearing as normal as can be you know we we try to keep everything now. Purdue all the same. Where meetings and everything. Given going to today so. I can't on the but. those us again. And knowing what I don't know why should I say this you're if you're all the wrong I'm just gonna be doing this guy and somebody can pick go to can help us during the game. Much like temple was doing so. You know different perspective. Thanks and. Definitely the best we've heard Lindy Ruff in. Offseason after a game. Amazing that it took broken ribs to do it hollow I'm guessing the six nothing. Results tonight probably has a lot to do that lot to do that. When he press coverage brought to you by polling about your power of attorney and a lot of good luck from in their but. The best line that we here was the reference thing. The media saying quote I see why you guys are so critical now. Got a big applause and then there are big laughter and then he says it's an easy game from up here in the in the press box from where he was sitting tonight. And when the and the sabres improved 401 of their last five they've picked up eight at their exit they've picked up. Nine of their last ten points how does it affect them in the standings well we'll get there when we return in your phone calls 8030550. Locker going to be used to savers when six that nothing here's cable that update post here after this I'm deal lot of other sabres radio and. Working. Across as fast again away from him but it still live my boys. It's weird to center ice and not trying to. And well deserved one from. Never touched the Well causing a stir all night long that on there a part of our Seneca poker deck of the game. Brought to you by Seneca poker we're dealing At Seneca poker welcome back here to the about sabres post game show from the first senator I'm rankled he'll sabres role tonight six to nothing. Buffalo has taken at nine of their last ten points in their last five games more home games to come Friday up next Dallas. At 730 we're gonna head of the locker room in a moment here from the that you just heard there. Patrick collateral but first let's take a call AJ on a cellphone with a AJ you're on the air. I that's what very or very old papers they looked really good today. All of for a while and they've played extremely well. Mariam great forward. Along the boards and oriental clients and not it to your advantage in that you know Alec brought everything that it imports in the night on to our quick point. You know maybe it's not a at art there or you're out will cut back on. It a couple ordered an out of the now check out a couple things. There's I nearly think about what opt in and in you know to negate the draft but everything. They. I thank you for the call idea I think that Far as bad as the injury is and of course you know Iraq you know which broken ribs and anybody but the positive is. First of all pointed to his press conference make it radio maybe. But he may be painkillers. Are gonna help our ratings with everybody wanted to tune in to hear a funny when he's got to be every night that was great right what he set. Put him in being serious it's about your point here. I agree why can't it help to just see see the game from hold the perspective he talked about how it's you know. Well we sit up here in the press box it does look easier 'cause it's it's such at a slower game from up here I think. For many view that have been in the building. If you set a couple rolls from the ice verses sitting up way up top in the 300 level. You probably would agree to the same thing you get to see everything from above it makes it look a lot easier it slows things down and all that they're you know certain times during games where I've locked down. During the course of the game and I forget some times of the speed and the size of these guys and how quick it's going down way when you're down so low so. I don't think it can be editing. But positives from him coming up here and getting a whole new look at and home and you add a plus look at this experience that James Patrick in the us and the rest of the coaches. Get out of this so I looked at it as. In as much as you say it's a negative having the coach up there. I think that there's there's a lot of positives that come out of it. Thanks the more calls it a moment here let's say here from pastor Collette he's certainly had the fans going tonight here's in the sabres are Paul You guys need that one now weather was getting on your result whether it was skating whether it was physical. Are you guys seem to be on top of the death Thought we played really strong tonight and we impact on from anything we went out and skated embattled. gratitude to our whole team there for come together and plan. Plan. A real solid game. Seem like you were going to initiate a matter why you didn't care if you won the fight lost the fire whatever you were gonna initiate contact all night long haul flights that are. America showing no matter. If you win you lose. You go in and you show up and you show them that you're ready to play And in that regard he's he's here to plays he's ready to go so You know it's tough guy and and same with Cody he showed up and did a great job on Thornton and and you know really gives you it's a little adrenaline rush on the bench does it help the battles like after that I noticed two battles which are along the wall. Where is only just it was just work. Yes I mean nine. My leadership is gonna come through work ethic and and and getting in there and if I can if I can lead by example and going in there and and song that I'm ready to play hopefully other guys follow. Those were those kinds of for a team like that a key for us. Just times. Every point is there's. You know. Important isn't even but good words in their huge for us and it's our plans right now. Every game in England and have the mentality that we had tonight we're gonna go out there and skate skate skate and compete we're gonna battle and you know we're gonna and give everything in the everything we have yes. Is it at all when you see your team when you play that way you know the guys are capable of doing that that it were 54 games into the season before you actually have a game like that I don't know the the game like this in the first. Two weeks the season different I mean. In on. My job. I've had to learn a little bit past little while. Changed my game and we talked about it since being here where I'm gonna be more effective with my speed and after it's there it's there But. You know this game tonight where it was there and I could take it in. It was the right time right right chance to do more work done here Yes I mean I mean. You know it's not. trying to speechwriter being mean and it's a matter of put everything together and and and doing all the little things to have complete game like this whether it's. You know the and play. You know. Just battles and shot planes the things like that. I think you've seen over the past little while here. Our teams start coming up here. And Not carry over. It. Path I think you're exactly right you know it's. Sometimes in the American have a best plays in the night and practically ruined but. If you show up and you battle you give everything you have and you can look at yourself in the saying a lot of got. You know like you can learn from and I can get better. That's a yes for an individual and if you have. Twenty some on individuals doing that and and they can look yourself in the mean. Ingraham different wasn't much has different. I was happy to see him. Here and then. You know. Two cards villain and I guess and you know it's awesome happened here and and Sean Upton and you know but what way it was different I mean the combatants seem Jeep back there and stuff. But no it's you know we can change a thing. We are giving giving the game plan and then we we played pretty strongly there you go back a lot of little scheme. Solid outing furcal had a tonight and his goal already the into the second period I thought to put buffalo by four. Ended any sort of thought of a Boston come back we'll call that the goal of the game tonight. Brought you by Glen Campbell Chevrolet on transit road in Williams felt with the here in the press box. At first nagger senators sabres rolls six to nothing but the Bruins a a Mac. More calls 8030550. And more player reaction from a locker room with Paul Hamilton is the post game show continues here past 11 o'clock. Back after this on the sabres rating. Great she keeps it in Charlotte needs I mean that's broken up in front of the net again another shot at. Yes he was Miller won the right there of his 36 saves. Will call 36 saves tonight our plays of the game and their brought to you by debt neurological institute. Had to debt welcome back you're after 11 o'clock on the post game I'm rankles sabres beat the Bruins tonight. In nice fashion from fans a six to nothing win. Jason and scores twice Colette had a goal and some fights he was in the third star this game tonight Ryan Miller gets the shutout. As a buffalo continues to roll back to the phones and here's Jerry Wanda I Jerry god. Failure to do and I think there's only one that we need for disposal we need for the next hour and Austin comes in or art. That in a weaker U. We need to get catching up here. And let's that initiates but have them here so when we change what sort wants to goal list that. Caspian through his thing I think you actually can get those guys to retreat I'd be putting their back I think that that give our guys are here and say okay. Garrett wanted to play erupt erupt we are may have. And just got sick a month ago I mean we are you going to be here anyway law you can be here. When we get in the playoffs and play ball you're gonna be here so that look at this view that can bring him up here and let and let him go and you wouldn't you do against these guys. I Gerri thanks I mean it's tough to say anything about tonight evidences about as perfect as a game in all aspects so you know I'm not gonna. Say that he should've been out there it's and I thought the sabres kill themselves pretty well I mean. I think Paul Hill the senate passed it's it's not necessarily the win over the loss in a fight it's the fact that that you're not backing down or. That you're the one actually creating it so. Of the Bruins bigger than buffalo are they gonna win in some of these fights probably. So I mean if if you're looking actually score the fight swelled and you know maybe Cassie and would would be the guy that you're looking for however cast in hasn't fought that much Rochester. This year either so. Whether he comes up and it's ready to start throwing I mean that's obviously still up for opinion. Thanks Gerri let's go back to the and hear from tonight's number one star here's Ryan Miller standing by with Paul Hamilton. These guys feel we think control into the. I observed. For more than half the game. A great effort by our guys systems grades. After it was period. That's the way we to play hockey. you know battle is there and attention these that was there they want to make. Place and it is only made Smart adjustments certainly gaming. Our foresters or indeed not a senator great cap on the puck carrier in the passing. And we turn pucks around them and I think we kind of frustrated with that. was that may be your best getting on your cell with a quick passes it seemed like bang bang you guys were out on your way. gains. I certainly in the past in Arizona stood in the sounds clearly organized this or you southern. I really credit neutral zone and the effort their zone. Austin and Dallas on time until late you know maybe. Second period and Lleyton and and those certain days you know making a little push and finally got a call procure way where guy brushes if they actually call it. I think it might have been it Boston contesting. Just the way things. Have played out last few months I think. Definitely a benefit there so I'm not an implant. Not a lot. Bounces that way and if I don't they're number bounces than last. Years you know if have a lot to write them so. You know nice to when the after the game analyze him often about these areas have a lot of trouble. You move around. Now it's. Some tough injuries. But here's two you know feels some. I thought. You know the other its and with different positions and taken over over the world acreage. And you know the guys related job prepping yesterday's practice partners here's the to their here's the next few well right you know. That he indeed human and not come down look at it that IE in a Yankee threw away. you can tell you must be out there coaching and print you know things so. You know but that's kind of hockey via play no matter who is. Again and answers in the lineup interchangeable as far as. You know person yet to you know that that effort into that organization. It's very good. I was just talking about it doesn't matter if you win the fighter whatever but show up for the battle to show up for the fight he said that's what you guys did tonight. Yeah you know it's a kind of very big man and cited rather well. Our guys stepped up. Had to fight they And they're seeing a to kind of intimidate in push your own in the it just goes to show you. If you hang in there and play good hockey you know. So it doesn't matter. That Miller Paul thank you very much there with Ryan Miller. And he firstar honors tonight we'll call a hot player of the game brought to you by a primary heating and air you promise your furnace at the wizard of comfort LP out call driver. It's 694. 8524. standings update buffalo with the win improved to 2324. And six. And they move up into a tie for eleventh at the islanders at 52 right on the heels though is Tampa in Montreal with 51. The team right in front of the sabres is Winnipeg. Now with 56 points and the sabres still remain nine back. But he place Ottawa your current standings update brought you by Molson Canadian hockey's newest dynasty official imported beer. Of the NHL back to the road as we continue our blue and gold locker report brought to you by Jack hunt gold and silver Buffalo's premier precious metals dealer. Here's the captain he scored twice Jason bill with Paul. What Jason was that would truly be. There's one for everyone me. Reorder its to him into ourselves and I thought so overall it was a really really solid effort by everyone we. And had a lot of with the coaches. Even though he wasn't behind the bench but I thought the players that it's not only each other accountable and and making adjustments on the and and and talking to him. The events tonight and guys were into it and I think enough to get we. We took the game Auburn deserve probably deserved to get him to be talking just before the game with a knowing end the leaders in the around but I don't know if we talked to analyze Regis on rate after the game here I was the first time Malia. Probably not as they use in constant talk with the with the coaching staff. In the game in it helping him out in. I mean it and and making adjustments and getting themselves prepared to play was a different No I mean. I mean the voices different in the room but besides that it masses is the same I mean game plan doesn't change. Ability and negative that it agreed to. Adversaries like yesterday in. We're we tell you running game tonight. You did the passing tonight we talk about passing so many times it was like night and day especially getting on your zone quite that have been the best gaming guys that all year with the good quick passes to get out of your Yeah we did a good job I think you're. He did a good job showing patience and Aaron Sanders. I kind of supporting the play and being low and I mean they're a team that comes extremely hard and they have a lot of success at doing it and I think we had to make sure that we came back as as as a unit and as five guys and give each other routes enough. My thoughts I thought our senators and indeed it the job attack supporting each other didn't matter if you want the fights or not but you guys were there physically all night long I thought yeah I mean we're not gonna. We're not gonna back down and not guys guys that did not. I mean some of them played out of characters on the amount. And in Boise block degrade the big shots. Mean everybody did different things to help us win and that's what a team's all about Ville another great game for him out beautiful set up on the one on your first goal and actually on both the army made some not some good Through its it's open nice to me and I was able to to put him away but it mean that that person was just a little excerpt is you put a little. A little icing. Is an apartment all of our Paul Hamilton as the sabres win tonight by a final score. Six to nothing department bill accounting for now the tied for the team lead. With Thomas manic with nineteen goals sixty nothing let's put the rap on here with Paul Hamilton's thoughts on the game. And up Paul fans had to be a pretty happy having everything that they could've asked for goaltending goal scoring. They responded physically. And even a plate discipline hockey despite all the penalties they didn't give up a penalty or rail power play attempt the Bruin so a very very complete effort. Yet good all around game for them As we talked about in the secondary mission that's the best buys the endemic coming out of their own end good quizzed about the on the day that passes. Nobody gave with the popular getting the puck knocked off is that there's like bang bang bang. All the pat on the they've been there aren't running and it gets them going it doesn't give Boston chipped that up in the neutral zone either and they were you know they were skating in the hole right. You know there winning battles I think you're great example of that game one ship that what's really lay it on the law beat Charlotte flight. For battles and you know that's been an easy thing to do. Because you get try to hit easily the strongest man in the league or whatever but. He weather has with a what it was starting on the look at the fore check going so. If you're if you're gonna have Billy way to winning battles against Charlie you're gonna be pretty good shape we're talking. Paul the sabres offensively tonight broke out I know that they've been playing well we know as of late defensively but. An explosion of offense tonight and I Tuukka Rask has been struggling but they were able to still get three more on Tim Thomas at the end of the day. Yet to grass did not play well let's put space that in eleventh the like that back he came into the game. Giving up and hold the last three starts and you have three before in 21 minutes of work. So that you know that that helped output noticed sabres in some breaks today. You know they if they don't get a lot of breaks around the tonight they got a couple of them and even the last call was a good break group just because a good you know they went pop open. While not causing the truth over and all the sudden got to let that happen gold produced efforts so. It was good work there at the walk on their side. But. You know you know how we always talked about how the other getting all these boxes the sabres are and sort of just verbally and thoroughly convinced. But if you want break you have to earn them and in order and you have to be skating well winning battles and that type of thing in. They just weren't doing that before so it looked like the other team we're getting all the breaks well. This last little bid of five games here no disabled list and get some breaks and why is playing better. Yep I agree I think it's it's a great a great point Paul. Paul Lindy Ruff. I don't know if it's painkillers or whatever but boy it was at the most entertaining press conference of the year tonight. Do you laughing at me crack some joke. We gotta get and then. We found out what his role was during the game and I was pretty sure he was in contact with the bench which he was. But it was more you know all right we can do something with the system wasn't held James split this dire. LG aims to match up with that you know they met the warhead. Lindy laid up a game plan for James Patrick in the rest of the coaches the way he won the game played. And it was like OK here you go it's like football where. The head coach you know late in the game plans are laid out there in the week. And then on game day of the offensive coordinator called the offense the defense the way they're called the defense. The head coaches that orchestrates the whole thing well that's erupted today he laid up the game plan the last few days. Told coaching staff probably one of things done that that would became game day was their game to go do it. While at tonight's. We know we got in on the scoring but. He seems to maybe wanna establish a little home ice advantage is as you even said to it's not even necessarily about. Who ends up you know a scoring a fighter who wins or loses but. And he was leading the charge tonight of saying we are gonna get pushed around by this team. Then it's initiating and that's the thing. Even last fight Wear a lot of make they had Beverly was the Quaid. In that equation comes back and that's something AM and skates by and rake them with his stick it because by the guards that flights from across BI. The messiah and you know is right there and would she is based in slices and and then tries to get the fight with government. You know of the it was in in his soft five guys around about whether there were fighters or not. Trying to give in the middle of it that's what you got that out there. Nobody knew what she just probably not gonna hurt you now you know certainly got a great you know so you you can get hurt in a fight. But whatever things in that close and everything you're probably not gonna get hurt anyway it. Just show up and Ambien does apartment healthy and make sure that when you lot of your own building which they did a great job of that tonight. Paul good stuff entertaining game here tonight then lots of home games coming up here so I am I'll leaving here with a quick on the I guess as mathematically tough as it's going to be in terms of a playoff push if there's going to be one. They have to take advantage of the fact that they have this eight out of nine at home stretch here in February. And they have a what is it nine games since they've lost one regulation at all yeah. So actually they're I'm going by memory dangerous and their Bible and war. And have a lot to regulation game in nine is that something like those lines so much better output at home lately. Now they can and we will speak again Friday sabres and Dallas Stars. Okay okay Paul Hamilton on the post game show here tonight. As we mentioned Lindy roll call had a part of our injury report tonight sponsored by UB orthopedic and sports medicine. Go the pros go six nothing buffalo winning it's an editor Boston.
