It's 2-1 in the playoffs.

So a Montreal win a seven-game series so far, yes, but there's still a lot of hockey to be played.

You know, yeah, it's been 15 years since the Sabres had been in the playoffs, but a lot of the people here remember 98.

98 was the precursor to 99 and the Sabres losing to Dallas in the finals.

But 98, they played the Montreal Canadiens in the second round.

They swept them.

The first time the Habs had ever been swept in a seven-game series on home ice.

So, you know, Matt Barnaby, hat trick on game two.

Mother's Day, he's looking for his mom in the stands.

And then Michael Peca, second overtime game three.

Game four ended up being a sweep.

93, Montreal swept the Sabres.

for nothing and Montreal won the cup that year, right?

So there was, there's still that rivalry that even though it was 30 plus years ago, it feels like those two teams because of the division, because of the fans traveling from Southern Ontario and Buffalo fans going to Montreal, it's been there.

So now it's fun to see it in the playoffs.

It's fun to sit in the second round.

And it was funny because game one,

It looked like the eye test would tell you Buffalo dominated game one.

And then after the game, Lindy Ruff said, we still have a few more steps that we can go through.

It wasn't a perfect game.
