episode 733 of after the whistle and uh here we are thursday night this could get a little foggy

we'll call it the uh the post game show show yeah i get it after the whistle post game show show

i mean we're recording tonight because you're taking off for a few days

you got to go away yeah and uh you're leaving because weather is is coming in before you go

when are you coming back you're back wednesday night Tuesday night okay so by that point

by the time you get back the Sabres will have played Islanders on Saturday and Toronto on Tuesday.

And then we'll be back to talk about those two games.

And then, you know, they play Thursday home to L.A., Saturday, home to Montreal, another huge game.

And here's what I'll say to you before you go away.

And, you know, when I was coming on tonight with you, I'm thinking to myself, how do I want to approach this?

Do I want to say like this team's making the playoffs?

It's safe to say that this team might make the playoffs.

It sucks that Boston had to win tonight.

Listen, it's not only it's not only

boston pitts pitts but look at all the stores it's the east the east is spanking the west all the time

detroit right now is beating minnesota you know the boston brun is going spank around the vegas

golden nights tonight you got pittsburgh well they were they had them 4-0 and they won the game 4-3. But I mean, you just think like if they, if those teams lose, like you know what that does for the gap? I mean, it's massive. It's massive. The sabers pull away from Wildcard 2 and they, you know, they get a little closer to maybe even second in the division, never mind third.

But I still can't tell you if they're going to make the playoffs or not.

I watch this team and I'm like, there's a lot of season left and it is too close to say for sure.

But they look a lot more mature on the ice as a hockey team.

They're playing pretty solid defensively when it's time to lock things down.

But I, but I'll tell you this.
