00:00this I mean come on we can't talk about them playing the lightning and not talk about what
00:05happened last year with the lightning yes what I mean you you know you got a feel for it being
00:12around there being around this team does that carry over is that even a thing I know fans are
00:17going to be looking at it tonight there's been clips going around all day about what happened
00:21and 23 guys in the penalty box at the same time and how you know just crazy it was is
00:28that gone
00:29and packed away or does does that's that do those embers still burn a little bit no they better pull
00:35it out because why did they beat the lightning first of all they hadn't played the right lightning
00:40until the beginning of February that was the first game and the lightning were solidly in first place
00:45the Sabres basically had to do what they did to catch them and that's take seven out of eight points
00:50one game against Vasilevsky in 21 minutes and 54 seconds he gave up five goals and they chased him
00:56in one of the wins he played in three of the four games and Tampa didn't win any of them
01:01in
01:01regulation um and why because the Sabres came after the lightning the lightning had no respect for the
01:09Buffalo Sabres whatsoever they thought we're going to come in here we're going to slap them around
01:12where they're going to quit and we're going to win this going away and they found out that wasn't
01:16going to happen because the Sabres were initiating contact they were initiating whatever they don't
01:21necessarily have to win the fight or whatever but they were there and they were there with five guys
01:26and Tampa finally realized by the last game it's like you know what these guys aren't a pushover
01:30anymore this is a tough game we used to be able to walk in here throw them around a little
01:35bit
01:35they'd quit and you know we'd get our an easy win well it's not an easy thing anymore and and
01:42I don't
01:42think the lightning are going to forget about that from last year so I think they're going to be ready
01:47to roll and this is a team that's four one and two in their last seven so they've been playing
01:51pretty well and um you know Vasilevsky is going to want to be better you know then because he is
01:58a very very very good goaltender and he's going to want to be better too so if I'm the Buffalo
02:04Sabres
02:04my game plan is once again go out there initiate things and show the Tampa Bay Lightning that they're
02:09in for the same garbage and and ride that you gave them last year and they better be ready for
02:16you
