They're not going to step up in the middle of the ice.

But when they go back to get a puck, it's very hard to take it away from them.

When they're protected behind the net or on the wall, it's very hard to take it away from them.

Their penalty kill, and I know Montreal was one for two on the power play in game one, 50%.

That's pretty good.

But look at the way that the Sabres can defend on the penalty kill.

They have long arms, long sticks.

They're taking pass lane away.

They're taking space away.

You have Jordan Greenway, who's 6'5", long reach.

Alex Tuck, who's 6'4", 6'5", 4 1⁄2", long reach.

You're getting all of these guys with extra, like...

Not inches, extra feet of coverage.

The physicality and the size of Buffalo really comes into play.

So, look, the top guys with the Montreal Canadiens all season have been their moneymaker, right?

Suzuki, Caulfield, Slavkoski, Hudson.

That's your moneymaking group right there.

Like Caulfield in the third period had a good chance early in the third on a two-on-one.

Slavkoski had a couple of chances.

But they're not buzzing around the net like they were in the regular season.
