Buffalo Sabres beat Canadiens 8-3, force Game 7

sportsMay 17, 202615182

The Buffalo Sabres beat the Montreal Canadiens 8-3 in Game 6 at the Bell Centre to force a decisive Game 7. Montreal held a 3-1 lead early, but Buffalo erupted for five unanswered goals across the second and third periods to take control. The win evens the second-round series and sends it to a winner take all Game 7 Monday, which will decide which team advances in the playoffs.

I want Montreal smoldering after the next 20 minutes of hockey. I want Dobes going to sleep tonight and still hear the cacophony of tones that is the Buffalo Sabres

Burning Montreal magazine cover for La Presse with Sabres fighting Canadiens added to it

What a gut check of a win. They’re demoralized. Go CRUSH them in front of a home crowd on Monday. I believe in the Buffalo Sabres.
