Chapter 3: What were the memorable moments from Buffalo?
He deserves it. He should be on a private island somewhere. The fact that he even talks to us is insane. I know. He should be on permanent vacation, and the fact that he still gives back to the game is incredible. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And, you know, he comes in now. I think he'll be finals. He was one night so far at TNT, right? And he'll definitely be there for the finals.
I think he might have one for, yeah, one for the second round. Oh, sorry, you don't have finals. So he'd be conference finals when you travel. Conference finals, we're going on the road. We're going on the road. Blade Gang was loving the Pink Whitney. We got to hop right into this. Yeah, we'll have to go into this. Round of applause, by the way, for Witt. And Murr. And memes.
Hey, buddy, it was astounding. Not too many. It was astounding. I mean, just a standing ovation, similar to the one Mike Vrabel got from Patriots season ticket holders. That was just an incredible video. Patriots fan, we don't care. We just want wins. Just Douglas. From Mike Vrabel. I had a standing O coming. I had the internet, Merle's, and myself. We're on the I-90.
In the most dangerous spot, I-90, apparently. And we're rollerblading. Things are all good. We meet Blade Gang. And then, and then, there was this. And this thing right here, boys, this thing buried me. And for people who aren't watching on Netflix, this is the saber sword. The saber sword. Were you trying to play a video or something there? I don't know if you heard the church bells.
There were some disgusting, scary church bells. Like Undertaker? Yeah, but not that Undertaker music, because you don't want to get in trouble. So I found generic on YouTube, but apparently you guys couldn't hear it. That's my bad. Either way, this sword was just... Now, the video's playing right here. Okay. I've gone through this a couple times. I made the video.
We went out, and I want to say one thing first off...

Chapter 4: What challenges did the Sabres face in the playoffs?
The people in Buffalo, those might be the best people in the United States of America. Like, the friendliness. Like, I didn't know if I'd get chirped. You know, I figured we were kind of on decent terms considering they made me look like the fool. 0.0%. They get in. They go on this run. And now I'm kind of going their belly of the beast, as I said, on the highway with Murr.
So everyone was so nice. Like, oh, thanks for coming. Like, I'm talking Murr. The people there were amazing. And we go on stage. And we try to fire them up a little bit. They were actually pumped up. They had the clown nose on me on the banner and everything. I chugged a beer out of this. Boys, I must have gotten maybe this much. I'm talking like one tiny sip of my mug. Oh, like a pre-round.
You did it like pre-going into a building. Yeah, at the Fan Fest. It was Fan Fest. And I don't know if there was a video of that. Meme said he might have had one. But my jersey that they gave me with the 0.0 number, it was just covered in beer. And then the guy who was emceeing, it's like, oh, you can't chug out of there.
And then Sabres fans, as I'm taking pictures, walking around, oh, you can't chug out of that. You can't chug out of that. It doesn't work like the way it's now. I really, really wish they hadn't told me that. Right. Because I just would have tried it again. I would have been like, I also want to get ahead of something. Horkoff called me. She goes, wait. Oh, my God.
I've had phone calls from people I haven't talked to in years.
Same.
I've never been a great beer chugger. I'm not a beer chug guy. I'm not good at it, right? I'm not one of those pros at chugging beers. But I would have just tried it again and dealt with the spillage. Buddy, I had, I don't know, the arm of the pump-up arm that was barely moving, like a squiggly arm. My wife said I was one of the blow-up things outside a car dealership where we sell gold.
That thing wasn't even moving. And then to try not to chug and spill, at one point, it's completely horizontal. Nothing's coming out. And I'm realizing, like, quickly, halfway through this, like, I think this is bad news. Like, this is not – like, look, it's not – what are you doing? You got to pour the thing. You got to pour the thing. Merle's right when I finish.
He goes, what the hell was that? And I'm like, oh, man, this is bad. This is bad. Biz, I'll get to you in a second. I'll get to you right away when I'm done. Okay. I – I figured, all right, I'm going to get chirped by some fans. Buddy, I got to ask you, Biz, did you tell TNT to put that on? How did that make it to TV?

Chapter 5: What impact did Michkov have in the game?
And then they put Michkov in and he assists on the OT winner.
They were solid last night. He was dangerous. A couple chances.
He had a breakaway. I can't believe he didn't tuck that one in on the goal. He's pretty crafty in and around the net, like down low. Oh, the later one when he was behind him? It was the same shift. He had the breakaway later in the shift. Yeah, he came out from behind.
He kind of went down low and then had Shelov's kind of look like out of position and kind of did like a little sneaky little maneuver to try to tuck it in behind him.
Chapter 6: How did the goalies perform in the recent match?
Somehow it stayed out, but those goalies were keeping everything out last night. It was insane. That was a great 0-0.
It got a little uneventful, I would say, in the last half of the game. I would say after the first five minutes, for the last 15 minutes of the first period, Flyers were coming hard on the forecheck. They were getting pucks turned over. I felt like Flyers were the better team probably the first half of the game.
And then things kind of got in that stalemate situation where, especially in the third, like it's like, oh, they're like, nobody wants to make a mistake. But I agree, the two stars of the game were the goalies. I felt like both teams, like they weren't getting the puck up enough. Like there was a lot of like pad saves where it's like, oh, you just got to elevate it and it's a free goal.
Army, I got to ask you though, like there were some career years for players on the Pittsburgh Penguins that I was a little underwhelmed with. come playoff time. And it's hard, right? Like some of these guys aren't experienced. A few other guys are, but maybe haven't found their, their playoff game yet. Very disappointed in Manta. Chinnikov was not the same player he was in the regular season.
Let's start there.
Well, yeah, and career years from both of them. Chinnikov came over. He had 18 goals in, I think, 43 games with the Penguins when he came over. Manta career year, 33 goal regular season. Free agent at the end of the year as well, oh, by the way. 20 career playoff games, seven assists, zero goals for Manta. Yeah. He had an unbelievable opportunity also in that game.
That puck kind of popped to him out of the corner.

Chapter 7: What are the key takeaways from the Flyers and Penguins series?
His brain died.
He's never scored a playoff goal? No. He's never scored a playoff goal. Can you believe it in 20 games? There was three times he was around the net where I'm like, oh, this guy just like legit forgot how to play hockey for five seconds in that position. Well, the winner, I don't know. You just got to be in the lane of York, okay? So, Michkov has the puck over there. I forget who's on him.
And he's standing... He's standing in the middle of the ice where he's not – he doesn't have his head on a swivel, so he's not seeing that York's moved over. If he slides over and York gets that, he's not shooting it, or he's at least maybe missing the net if you're in the right lane, but he got it. And then Manta panics to get over it.
It's like, oh, bud, you just got to – you got to know where you are as Michkov dishes it across, or don't even let him dish it across if you're higher. And Michkov made that pass on his backhand.
Chapter 8: What are the predictions for the upcoming series against the Canes?
That should never, ever happen.
Yeah. Like, was that a pretty risky pass by Michkov? I think he saw that.
He saw Manta was nowhere. Yeah. Yeah, I know.
But like, it was a danger zone kind of play, you know, but like for him, he just got healthy scratch. He's back in the lineup. He was buzzing pretty good. Obviously has offensive confidence in himself. Like he's, he's an offensive guy, but to make a backhand pass at that stage of the game, it was in the corner.
Manta had no stick. You know when you have no stick and you don't know what to do? That's what he looked like. You have to either be in the lane or be low enough so if York does get in, you're in the lane to come out and block that. He was just straight up in no man's land. Not only was he not in the lane, he was backed off.
Yeah, I would say he probably had 10 feet to get that backhand over to York where he had no pressure on him. And like you said, when you have that angle from behind the net, you're seeing, you're like, why is he standing where he is from at this?
So I would say a very, a very forgettable series where you could, it's almost like you could visibly see that the moment was getting to him a little bit.
Yeah. He's, he's very casual. You know, I think through his career, he looks casual. Like he's big and he's like, He has pretty silky mitts. You know, he has pretty good hands. Um, like on that chance out front, he went to go like to his backhand quick and it just like duffed it. Like, like the urgency to like score, like pounded in, like, you know, to do that. He's just different that way.
He was like that all year, but he scored 33, but in the playoffs when it ramps up and it got a little tighter, uh, Um, it was hard. It's same with Chinnikov. Like the flyers were, were really good in the neutral zone early in that series. He's an off the rush guy. Great skater, smart heads up guy had pretty good chemistry with Novak and Malkin on that line, but they couldn't get anything going.
