Yeah, I mean, a little bit different than the Montreal-Tampa series, I thought.

But you're right, skilled, fast, moving up and down the ice.

I actually don't think it was as bad as what the score says.

I mean, two power play goals, especially teams that just dictate play.

It can dictate games.

I don't know if it can dictate a series, but it can absolutely dictate a game.

So two goals on the power play.

you know, for Buffalo, I think is big.

You win that advantage, there's a good chance you're going to win the hockey game.

So, you know, for me, I still think that Montreal played a pretty good game.

I don't think it was a horrible game.

They blocked a lot of shots.

They forced a lot of shots to the outside.

They kept them from a defensive standpoint, I think, under 20 shots in the game.

And so, again, a pretty good game from them defensively.

I said it before.

I honestly think it's going to come down to them creating.

And I said, Buffalo is going to score three or four and maybe five.

So in order to win a game, you have to score four or five or six.

Six is not easy to do, but unless you're in a different series than this one, then it's really easy to score six or nine or whatever it might be.
