It's Mike Shope and the Bulldog.
I love sitting in a nice high one.
Here we go.
Carick is dropping the gloves and he's taking on Scott Sabrin.
Oh, it's not over yet.
Sorry, boys.
They are thumping here.
Malinstein and Perry.
Malinstein.
Body shots up over top.
Swinging.
Perry's the dog in the fight in Malinstein trying to tame him here.
They are down to the ice.
Malinstein.
Drops Perry.
Couple guys here.
Faces a little swollen.
A couple of scrapes.
That's my kind of hockey.
Here's a chance for Dulleen.
Walking in scores.
Magic from the captain.
And it's back to a humble game.
7-6.
Zucker to the net.
Back in scores.
Jason Zucker.
Cookin.
Buffalo back to a 7-7 time.
Do you believe what you are seeing here tonight?
Shot.
Off the bar scores.
First one didn't go in.
Second one does.
It's a power play goal.
And the Sabers has the lead.
8-7.
It's Mike Schoep and the Bulldog.
This is why I play hockey.
This is the best part.
It's just final.
None WGR.
Who knew that game was legal.
But apparently it's going to stand.
This game.
I heard they were reviewing it.
A whole game to see if it needed to be replayed.
But no.
A jolt of excitement went through my family last night.
When we realized we have tickets to the other Tampa game.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's a win.
Well, that's possibly not be a letdown.
That is a big.
It almost has to be.
You got to chase that 38 around.
If you're really...
I mean, I don't know.
It could be dangerous to like overstate how great last night was.
There's no way the next game can live up to it.
But it doesn't mean it won't be great.
But last night was just off the charts.
I mean, I really...
I don't think maybe the Brawl game with Ottawa in 0-7.
That's the comp.
That maybe is the same kind of game.
It's the same two.
They weren't new as rivals because they'd already had the 0-6 series at the Sabers 1.
But there was animosity there.
One team was used to being on top.
The other one was coming.
And that was Buffalo.
And that was their year.
They won, like, World War II, the president's trophy, basically, in 0-7.
So it's not a...
The rules are a little different, but the same sort of scenario.
I think the rules are...
I mean, it's definitely the comp.
It's significant enough to talk about, like, whether the lightning,
who I was not prepared to have B as Gooney, as they were,
respect the Sabers, you know, like, didn't it kind of look...
Who's in goal?
They used Vasylowski in Toronto.
You used Vasylowski the night before.
Yeah.
And, like, I don't know.
Maybe there's an arrogance with them that they just are going to come in
and you can't tell them how it works.
I fully expected them to play that way.
This is where watching a game every night has its benefit.
They in Florida have had many games like this.
Recently, as Florida sort of came up from the rear and past Tampa,
they've been doing the same sort of thing.
So I really felt like Tampa would lean into that.
You know, let's take...
Let's take you out for a spin, Buffalo.
Like, I'm ready to play in a game where your temper is boiling
and your emotions are running away from you, you know,
can you still play?
And, you know, it's 64 and 75 sitting there watching the third period,
I'm thinking, like, this is a good learning experience.
Right?
Because you had to deal with all that and then, you know,
if you're not used to that adrenaline when it leaves
and you've got to start playing again, that's a different...
That's just a different experience.
It's Charles Barkley Hill with Wayfair.
Let me tell you, game day is serious business at my house.

Dreams.
For a lot of guys in that room that at this level have not had, that sort of challenge.
And so maybe you got away from them for a little while and Tampa sort of settled in,
but Buffalo came roaring back and just a fantastic display all around.
The fans, Dan on the call, all of it was just a 10 to me.
I just loved the experience of watching that game.
I wish I'd felt well enough to get down to the arena for it.
It was refreshing to watch a Sabers game and be mad,
but not at the Sabers.
You know, so many of these games for a decade have been just like so unimportant.
And I don't know, when somebody bullies them,
if I'm watching it at all with any level of interest,
if somebody bullies them, I'm usually mad at them for not having the kind of team
that can respond to it or whatever, like it's sort of like,
yep, Brad Martian has you in the palm of his hand.
And that's not true anymore.
I think that might be the greatest takeaway from last night.
Like, any team can brawl, right?
If that's what you're about, you could do that,
but that's not really what the Sabers are about.
They just stood up to it.
Right.
And so, man, Tampa's it now then, right?
Like, that's the team, that's the rival.
Yeah, they have decided that for us.
Yes.
I think, you know, and the way the Sabers responded.
Also, and you know, the stake being the division, obviously,
like, they're, you know, still two games in hand for Tampa,
but Buffalo is ahead of them now.
And just the fashion in which they needed to do it.
Again, like, showing up, handling, you know,
it proves, I think, hopefully one sand for all,
that we don't even really care how you do in the fights.
Just show up.
Just, just, just be the competitor that we want you to be
when you see your guy get taken advantage of or whatever,
just be there.
This is awesome in a couple of weeks ago, or last week,
whatever day it was when he jumped in.
After Dalline got into it, it was in Tampa.
That was the, the game on Saturday, last Saturday in Tampa.
I think record is Braden Point was, was who I think
awesome ended up mixed up with in that.
Anyway, just show up.
And, you know, if you can, if you can not curry parry
and that smoke look off his face once in a while, knock him down.
Good, but really all we need for you to do is just be game for it.
And, the, the team rallies around that sort of emotion
and that bonding, and again, it doesn't matter if, you know,
the, the, the fight card says 4-1 for Tampa in the five fights.
Who cares?
You, you showed up and you handled it and you won the game
and you're in first place.
You could not deny the expressions on the Saber's players'
faces throughout all that, right?
I mean, the early fights did not go their way,
but they were all smiling.
Even in the, even the guys are in the fight, right?
Right.
They're in the penalty box kind of enjoying it.
And, I mean, I get that, the way the building must have felt.
Yeah.
And, like, all right, this is, this is going to be cool.
It turns out to maybe have been the game of their lives.
How many games have they ever played?
I mean, for all the hockey these guys have all played.
How many 8-7 fight fests have they ever been in?
It's the, it's the, the last game like it in the NHL
in terms of number of goals and penalty minutes
was literally in the 80s.
And, if it's just penalties alone, it's 1994.
Like, 8-7.
I mean, I grew up like you did occasionally going to games
that could get stupid on the scoreboard.
If not also in the fights, rarely both.
I, I can't believe I watched an 8-7 game
where neither goalie was pulled.
You know, no empty net goals, no goalie's taken out.
It just was, start to finish.
Yeah.
Close and competitive.
And I'm thinking like, okay, well, I know I went to a game
that was 11 to 2 in the 80s for my birthday.
I know I went to the 14 to 4 game.
You know, this was seven goals in the second period,
seven more in the third.
Last, one nothing after one last night.
Like, oh, I was in a game where the sabers scored nine goals
themselves in the second.
But I'm just like trying to keep up.
And who cares?
You know, my family didn't care about my history.
And they shouldn't.
Right.
But just trying to keep up with it in a game like you just do not get it.
So I don't know if words can even really do it justice
for not only what it was, but what it meant.
Because this is not just like a random Columbus game in a bad year.
Where, oh, that would have been fun to talk about.
No, but probably still starting with the bills.
This is, I don't want to say the rarity because sporting events
often do rise to the level of anticipation and expectation.
But this game was anticipated for sure.
I mean, especially after the sabers won their last Saturday.
And the gap was what it was in the vision.
They go into play yesterday tied atop the division.
So the stake is obvious.
The sabers players, you know, we didn't talk a ton about it
because it was such a busy week.
I missed the back end of it, but the trade deadline and the Colton
Paraco stuff and the Robert Thomas and DJ more eventually.
Now we've got more with the NFL free agency negotiating
window and everything.
There's a lot going on, but the sabers to a man.
It sounded like expected Tampa to try them last night.
They know how that team works.
They've seen their games with Florida, like I referenced.
So they were ready for it.
And that maybe came in handy.
They weren't caught by surprise suddenly being in this sort of
back alley brawl type of scenario.
I just know for hopefully the last time in our careers together
that we have a definitive answer on whether or not the fans
will ever be back because we've been through this twice now
since we've been together once very early on.
I mean, there was a season that was lost.
And the sabers were bankrupt.
The league was running them for a time before that lockout.
And we'd sit in here and like, you know, before that lockout
happened 8,000 people on a Thursday night to see Philadelphia.
Like Jeremy Rohnick.
Right. Right.
Yeah, like what happened to you Buffalo?
This used to be a thing.
And we used to be a part of that thing for you when he was on the flyers.
Right. Exactly.
And I would say then like all you just need the fuse to get real it.
It'll happen.
And then 0506 came along and eventually middle of that year a little sooner.
There it was.
It happened.
It blasted off.
And this has been a longer wait.
There was no bankruptcy.
But there was a lot of half empty buildings are worse.
There was a lot of detachment and just a lot of disassociation
with the emotional attachment to the franchise.
And all it takes is them to like let a strap fall off their shoulder
and bat their eyelashes at you.
And we are right back.
And they've done way more than just that.
That's what I was going to say next.
You've done way more than that.
I still think there it's good.
It's still a process to try to accept this.
Not that we don't want to.
We all want to believe it in it.
But it's still going to be for some more than others a process in doing that.
You know, if you're really being honest with yourself,
geez, how did this happen?
These are the same guys that I think a year ago putting it one way.
Samuel Sin.
I mean, just go.
Right.
Zucker, why bother?
Byrum.
They're trying to trade them.
The numbers are bad.
Like, just I know I'd be guilty of this.
I don't think I didn't think I was wrong at the time.
But I would say I was so disenfranchised by the whole decade of futility.
Just like, why do I need any of these guys?
We entertain Dallene trade ideas like last off season or the one before that.
Like, does it get to a point to see the next cycle?
Where it's just like, yeah, I'm wasting my career here.
And there's a lesson this doesn't have to work.
There have been other experiences just in Buffalo where they tried to sort of the mantra being
who wants to be here.
And you know, you're not very good though.
So, oh well.
Yeah.
But this has really paid off.
And you cannot, you cannot, again, deny the comments and their faces through these games.
Like, why wouldn't it be the most fun they've ever had?
And they're saying it is.
And they look like it.
Yeah.
And it's coming out in the effort.
And it was interesting and fun to talk to E.J. Radick on Friday from NHL Network.
I'm sorry you missed it.
Me too.
He had an interesting way of putting this whole shocking ascent by the Sabers.
He said for himself, and I didn't know how he felt about this.
It's not Travis or somebody we talked to all the time.
I didn't know his opinion going in.
And he said, for two years, I've always really liked their roster.
But they had to get to a point where they would show up every game like it was opening night.
Not, you're not the avalanche, you're the lightning or a team that's like always good.
So, you don't have that.
You have to sort of generate that yourself.
This is opening night.
And I wonder what that sounds like to like Lindy or somebody if he were to hear it put that way.
I loved it.
Because, you know, I tend to want to think everybody's giving full effort.
And they're professional.
They're playing for their careers.
That teams don't just sort of lie flat.
But that can happen.
And I can't think of another conclusion to draw about this other than that's what it was.
And you know, that's going to be easily an easy example of that.
If that's how you feel is Thompson Lane on the ice last year.
That was a team with this energy.
I don't even care if it was a clean hit or I didn't even need to see it, but I'm in it.
I'm entering the chat on a play like that.
And last year's team had no time for it.
And they knew it when it was over.
They knew it was a problem.
Yeah, they were embarrassed rightly so.
But in the moment, they didn't have a response.
They didn't either care enough to respond or know how to respond.
And neither one is going to get you anywhere.
And Luke and then is there last night on the scene.
Luke and then, right.
Lindy was great.
So Lindy was asked about it.
Maybe by Paul.
Like, Luke and then was ready to get there.
It's like he got there, actually.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he said earlier, like eight, seven game with all those penalty minutes.
It's amazing.
You know, amazing.
Neither Goldie got pulled.
It's also amazing.
They didn't fight considering Luke and then got.
I mean, I don't know where Johansson was.
They never showed him.
And never was it said what he was doing.
Lindy said.
And he stayed in his dreams.
He never moved.
Right.
But I stayed in his dreams.
Luke and then was looking.
It was ready to go.
Like that's usually you.
You see him out at the.
He's at the hash marks or above the circles.
Wherever that break is involving Hagel and Dallin was happening.
I'm just expecting to see the goalies back coming into the shot.
The other goalie coming.
Because he's absolutely on call here.
And that didn't happen yet.
Right.
The thing it didn't because then it's Vassal Eski by.
I guess it's early.
I guess so.
Good thing it didn't.
Yeah.
I get away with punching a guy over and over on the ice
and getting four minutes.
I don't.
Good question.
I was at the most.
Not the most obvious.
I don't know.
Ejection.
Yeah.
I know.
I think it's more obvious than Malcolm.
I agree.
Because Malcolm, you might not be sure of what you just saw.
Right.
So out of character, maybe.
And like.
But this is just a pummeling on the ice.
And like.
That's it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That.
And he's not being suspended.
Right.
$5,000 fine.
So something will be gone about that.
Yeah.
How eventful it will be.
But someone will take a turn on him.
And he'll answer.
He'll be there for it.
He's that kind of player.
And he's not like the most agree.
But he's, you know, four nations.
He's opening face off.
Could fight a contract brother guy.
Hey, go.
So he'll.
He'll.
He'll.
He'll show up.
But somebody's going to have to, you know, answer that.
And.
I think Dalyne at some point.
Is going to maybe have to do something that gets him suspended for a couple of games.
So what?
Like I mean, honestly, like I think he needs to create.
He's going to need to.
He's going to need to show that he will protect himself because he is.
He's edgy enough.
These guys aren't going after him just because he's the captain and because he's good.
It's interesting.
Like he, he is an antagonizer.
You know, like any defenseman who plays those minutes.
Is going to be under the skin of the key guys on the other team.
It's a part of the job.
I mean, not every guy who plays that level of, you know, importance on a team has to play that way.
But Dalyne is, you know, he's got his ways of finding the back of the knee or the, you know, on the laces.
Like he's, you know, he gets his shots in.
And if they're going to come for him like that, he's got to do more.
I mean, he did end up fighting last night.
He had no choice.
And that did not go well.
He's got to pick a spot and like do something.
I really think so.
And that might sound absurd and sort of neanderthalish.
I wonder if it's necessary at this point.
That's, I think it is.
I think he needs to get people off of him.
And one way to do that is to, you know, again, I hope, you know, hopefully the games aren't important.
But go, go knock somebody's teeth out.
You know, you'll get sat down.
But your rep maybe will grow.
And guys will realize maybe I got to like think twice before, you know, before I try to take liberties with you.
I guess I am guilty of not having a fully formed take on what it is about him that drives people crazy apparently.
Like on the Malcolm one, he sticks Malcolm.
Yeah.
Right at the side of the net.
And Malcolm just might have his instinct might have been like, you can't do that to me.
I'm Malcolm.
And you're a sabers guy that I think I've heard of.
So I'm just going to hit you in the head.
I don't know.
Like the lightning.
This is me.
There's probably a word for this.
Like kind of reflecting or something.
My own opinions and thoughts into the situation.
Thinking like, well, this, this must be why.
Why does, why do I think Tampa doesn't respect them?
Because I might have thought already that they didn't, you know.
And that's the, that's the kind of way you might play in that, in that situation.
Like we're going to show, we're going to teach these guys a lesson.
Right.
Who's boss?
And, you know, they did what they did, but they weren't successful.
You know, like they, they came upon a team that was willing to, you know, go with that.
They picked, they picked a night where the sabers somehow found their way to four power play goals to spend a lot of the night in the penalty box.
Yeah.
So I mean, that's tough, tough, tough timing without scoring in a five on three for two minutes.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
So I just, I think that the, look, how does Daliin make them so make guys so mad?
He's good.
He doesn't engage fully in that.
Like he does not, he's not going to tell you he wants to fight.
And so he's, he's sneaky.
He, you know, dirty, he's, he's appropriately dirty, right?
He does stuff that aggravates and doesn't answer and is excellent.
Yeah.
He doesn't involve in as he put it the stupid stuff.
Right.
I'm here to play hockey.
And so that is always going to draw a certain level of, of animosity from the opponent.
He's an important star player.
He is going to chop me behind my knee where there's no padding.
And try to get away with not having to do anything about it.
That's going to make me want to punch him in the face too.
Like I totally get it.
That's why I'm saying I think at some point him picking a spot to sort of get after somebody
who challenges him that way could be good for him.
Yeah.
As you're describing all that earlier and now I'm thinking of the Bill Russell metaphor,
which admit I admit I got from the West Wing.
So I'm assuming it's true.
He borrowed it from us.
So like Bill Russell this physically dominant imposing center for the Celtics,
of course, for all those years when he would play like game to game.
Most games were televised and he was a little bit maybe not soft,
but he was not somebody who was going to hurt you.
But when the game was on TV, he would throw an elbow.
And then everybody thought like, oh, this guy don't go through the lane.
Unfortunately for Dolly and all the games are televised.
So if he's going to throw an elbow against Columbus or something,
sorry Columbus, multiple shots at Columbus here.
Well, we've enjoyed this season I have for observing and sort of realizing
different levels of interest in this.
And it's near peak.
Now today I found myself at this particular level of interest.
I looked up Tampa Bay schedule for the rest of this season.
They have two games left each with Detroit, Montreal, Boston and Ottawa.
They have 14 games left.
Right?
That's more than that.
It's more of the sabers.
They have 20 games left.
We have 18.
20 games left, two against Detroit, two against Boston, two against Montreal, two against Ottawa.
Whatever that means to rivalry stuff, I don't know, but it's probably good for the sabers.
Yeah, those teams, unless it's three point games, I guess, but somebody's losing all
eight of those games.
Right.
Ottawa's still in it.
Yeah, they are.
Yep.
And the sabers have 18 games left, two against the sharks, who they play tomorrow, two against
Washington, who they play Thursday.
Everything else is one time.
They don't play any other team more than once of the remaining 14 games.
Two sharks, two capitals, everybody else that they have left is one, including the
eightening here on April 6th.
Well, there's always, you know, or not always, but often like a thought process here where
like, all right, well, we've got the sabers and we've got the bills.
I frankly think starting with anything but the sabers today would have almost been like disloyal.
I agree.
I mean, that game was just, if the bills had signed, who?
We can't do it.
I don't know.
I'm not sure, there's anybody.
Yeah.
And they'll be plenty of bills.
Sure.
And, you know, maybe even next to kind of take a, take stock of what has happened or I guess
not happened as far as they're concerned.
You haven't been here yet since DJ Moore happened late last week, so we'll do that too.
On either subject, 803-050 to join us, it'll be Paul Hamilton at four, Sal Capaccio at five.
Mike Shope in the bulldog here.
Thanks for listening.
This is WGR.
I'm done carrying around bulky drinks.
And I'm definitely done cleaning melted candy out of my pockets.
So yeah, I traded them both in for fruity rainbow five hour energy shots.
These little guys are as pocket sized as any candy.
But instead of a sugar crash, you get a zero sugar caffeine boost.
Candy can't even compare at this point.
fruity rainbow five hour energy shots treat your taste buds to an explosion of fruity flavor.
With a tasty caffeine kick.
That's right.
