Martin Biron

Toc and Thompson were late to get to him.

He's in the slot.

There's a goal.

That's a big goal.

That made it 3-1 for the Montreal Canadiens when Boldzuk scored.

So I'm looking at all of this.

And if Buffalo had scored and kept on playing and kept on jabbing and jabbing and jabbing at Montreal, would have been a definite story.

Buffalo got one punch.

And then after that, it was like they couldn't get to Montreal and Montreal built off of that.

That was the, you know, the boxing mentality that was happening in that game.

So I think that personally, I would probably go to Lukanen.

And there's a few reasons for that.

Number one, I'm not a tandem guy.

Like I want a number one goalie and I want to rely on that number one and I want to back up and I want to find roles.

But it has not been the case in Buffalo all year.

So now I got to kind of approach this as what's been the key to the success to the Sabres.

And it's been having a tandem.

When one guy starts to like not play as well, somebody else pick him up.

so in the first round i actually would have stayed with lukinen in game three they went with lions they win the series now i think my gut instinct would say lions your number one but that's not the way it is and i think lukinen has a little bit more upside into making that big save and maybe stealing you a game

And if you're going to have those defensive breakdowns, maybe Lukanen is better suited to come up with some big saves.
