They've won a lot of games to, wow, this team is really good.

And now they win their division, despite Tampa Bay and Montreal having really strong years.

That building is going to be electric when they host their first game in the playoffs.

How much of a chance do you think the Sabres have to not just, hey, we made the playoffs and that's great, but do some damage and go far in the Stanley Cup playoffs this year?

we got you right all right i think we dropped ryan clark there we will uh get him reconnected in just a second and uh and get him back because as i said i'm excited to chat stanley cup playoffs with ryan and you know i think the point he was going to make there is that kind of it does seem pretty wide open this year in the east although in the atlantic part of the bracket i think we've actually seen a changing of the guard

I do wonder, though, if this is just not the year that Carolina breaks through.

If the, like, breaks through to the Stanley Cup final.

All right, now rejoining us is Ryan Clark.

Ryan, you were just starting your answer about the Buffalo Sabres and the kind of conversation between the East and the West this year.

Ryan of all the teams.

So Eastern Western that are going to the playoffs, which teams you think is under the most pressure to have a strong performance in the playoffs this season?

Yeah, also not ideal in that way.

Dallas.

How about Dallas, Ryan?

Do you see a potential weakness that could be exposed there?

I do still wonder if the stars as well.

And I know it's a, an old talking point at this point, but the right side of the defense and I, and I know they, they went out and they got Tyler Myers, right.

But you still look at it and just the discrepancy between what they're running out on the left side and what they're running out on the right side.

And I guess part of this comes back to Gullitson as well.

Like how does he manage that?
