00:00Goals against is where they're kind of rough.
00:02They are fifth at the top, and they've got one thing where save percentage is bad.
00:08I mean, do I want to do expected goals last night?
00:10Because Lucanin did not have a bad night in that department.
00:13So, that is, I went back, I was at the Buffalo Broadcasters Association dinner last night,
00:19so I didn't watch the game live.
00:20But I went back and watched it this morning.
00:22And I want you to take us through, not to interrupt you,
00:26when you saw the third goal, what happened?
00:31GG your body in that moment.
00:33I'm driving home, and I'm listening to GR.
00:37I'm listening to Dan and Rob.
00:38So, I get there, I get in the car just as the second intermission ends.
00:43I hear Derek and Brian send it to break, and they come back.
00:48And I'm like, all right, one goal game.
00:50Zucker just scored on the power play.
00:52Like, they've been, everything I've seen, like I'm checking Twitter,
00:55like they've been rolling this team, but they're just getting goalied by Vladar.
00:58Yep.
00:58And everything I went back and watched, supported that, and I agree.
01:03And I'm driving down, I'm driving down, I'm driving past the airport.
01:06I remember where I was.
01:08This is the level of-
01:10For an October game.
01:11Yes.
01:11I'm driving past the airport, and I hear that call that we just, you know,
01:16ugh.
01:17And I know, like, oh no, tomorrow is going to be tough.
01:21And I'm in the car, I'm driving, so I can't see it yet.
01:25But the call that Dan gives, the Rob reaction, I know what just happened.
01:31He just, he got caught chasing outside of his depth, couldn't get back to his net,
01:37and put it in on himself.
01:38And I didn't need to see it before I know that's not okay.
01:44In that spot, at that time of the game, the season that he is having, the rumors that are
01:51flying, that is not something you can stomach.
01:56And, like, they just scored late on the power play, on something that's been struggling,
02:01new guy comes back, you're showing life, and the team's playing great,
02:06and a guy scored from behind the goal line.
02:10I mean, that sound that Rob made is what is going through every player on that bench's mind,
02:16including the coach.
02:17Yep.
02:18Everybody is going, ugh.
02:19And you know what is odd about this?
02:22I mean, maybe not odd, you could speak to this too.
02:24Whatever.
02:25Sometimes we do these charts, sometimes you watch the game, you don't need to see the chart,
02:29sometimes you watch a game and the chart helps.
02:31Because the expected goals for the Flyers, after that goal, go way up.
02:37Way up.
02:37Because the Sabres died.
02:39Yeah.
02:40The team died when that goal went in.
02:42They get it to 2-1, and then early in the third, a goal goes in that shouldn't, and the
02:47team, it was over.
02:49It ended on that goal.
02:50It ended on that goal.
