So, Pierre, last night's game, what did you make of it?

Was it two teams trying to settle in and feel each other out?

Buffalo looked like they had a little bit more jump, a little bit more pop.

Montreal might have had a little fatigue coming off that Game 7 against Tampa, but to me, the way I looked at it, I don't know how you felt, but...

Buffalo is such a different team than Tampa.

Tampa tried to bully them and almost take it to a back alley fight where Buffalo just tried to skate them.

And it looked like they were able to have some success just through their speed and skill.

I agree.

And I love the fact that there is that mutual respect between fan bases where it's like, hey, we feel your pain, same type of situation.

But they're both very, very passionate.

We know what the Habs are like.

We know what their fan base is like.

They're noisy in both languages.

They're very passionate.

I love that.

I wanted to...

Seeing today a lot of the questions, and Pierre, I wanted your reaction on this because it kind of fires me up.

Because I look at Dobish, who was unbelievable in the first series, and I thought he was okay last night.

He wasn't tested a lot, but you couldn't blame those goals on him.

There were two screen shots, but at the end he gives up four goals and 16 shots.
