What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All right, here we go. Overdrive continues. Hour 2 brought to you by FanDuel. Brian Hazio, Doug Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan up on TSN4, up on YouTube Live, and streaming on TSN.ca and the TSN app. We've got Peter Laviolette coming up here in a few moments. Sabres survived last night. Sabres, they find a way to win. And UPL was the right play, I guess. Yeah, it was. Right in the end, UPL was the right play.
Different look, right? Like 6'6", goaltender, line smaller.
I mentioned that the other day, but what do I know?
I guess I'm just some... No, you actually mentioned go to the other guy, and it's the right call, too. But I thought Buffalo was the better team the first 10 minutes anyways. Definitely the first ten minutes. I don't know what goaltender interference is. That was a weird delay.
What insights does Peter Laviolette share about the Canadiens and Sabres' series?
I found the whole transaction, Jamie, to be bizarre. You guys can both weigh in, but I think the only way the goalie interference actually happened is by... The stick... The stick, yep. The stick pushing... Yeah, Quinn's stick pushing the glove. Because there was no other contact with the goaltender.
How did UPL's goaltending impact the Sabres' performance?
It was their own player that made contact. The only thing I could have seen was Quinn's stick that pushed his glove a little bit. And that's all I could see.
I think that's what it was. No, I thought it was watch Quinn's right. I thought his skate. Before that, there's the slap on the glove. But before that, the stick was touched who was driving through the crease. If Joe goes there, see, that opens the goaltender up. That's contact before that.
Isn't it bizarre, though, that that's the point? Like, no one really knows?
Well, I mean, listen, that's such a subjective rule, Gal. It's such a subjective rule. It's not black or white, and that's the challenge. But, you know, Buffalo, I think the shots were 8-1 at one point. Like, they were a team that looked really determined. And Montreal, they're good, man.
But it flipped. Yeah, the Habs really started pushing back. And, like, Dage Thompson's goal... He owes himself a celebration. That's a big goal. He didn't even budge. He couldn't believe it was in. That's nuts that that goes in in a playoff game. Crazy. Crazy to go in like that.
What are the implications of a goaltending change during playoffs?
Bad bounce. And, you know, like, Dober should have been having some good bounces. That was an awful bounce for him. It goes off his leg. And it's how you react, too. Like, I thought the game was fantastic. It's a great game.
It's been a great series. I hope it goes seven. I expect that it likely will at this point. Because, you know, it feels like, here we go. We're watching it right now. I mean, it's just a completely fluky, crazy goal to score to tie it up in the second period last time.
Let me ask you this. Tate Thompson looks off. He's not – like, their power play, he should be firing 105-mile-an-hour slap shots from that, you know, umbrella area, the one-timer spot. And it's always, like, fake shot down low. Like, to me, I don't know if he's battling something and he's unable to get that shot or Montreal's taking it away, so they're just giving options. But –
He gave it to John Ron when he was asked about it, right? That's for me to know and you not to worry about, basically.
Well, Buffalo, I mean, now they've, I don't know if they're in the driver's seat, but you've got two games potentially at home ice. Yeah, exactly.
Well, and the Calder was announced today. Pretty cool scene. Matthew Schaefer was on, I think, Good Morning America this morning. And was presented with the award. And he won it unanimously, which is the right play. We debated this all year. There's no one else that should have gotten a first place vote other than Schaefer. So he got it. First time that's happened since 93 when Timu Solani won it unanimously. But if you're a Habs fan, Demidov was second and Dobish was fourth. So, and Dobish may not even be the goaltender of the future there with Fowler possibly being the guy in the future. So, you know, Montreal's in a great place. Yeah, they are.
Contracts, performance, it's all those two guys. Imagine the New York Rangers before Lavi comes on.
