Sabers with four on the attack, Dali. Carry scores! Rasmus Dali opens the scoring here in Tampa. To the Tampa line and in. Nice pass, far circle. Shot scores! What a break by the Sabers at Norris.

3:07Dali comes down. Helps Buffalo keep possession. Thompson working it in front with the shot scores. 8 Thompson. It's four-nothing Buffalo in Tampa. And Sirelli turns it over high slot. Hold scores! What a goal that was! Zach Mensa with some magic for the Buffalo Sabers who have put up five on the lightning. Another winning weekend for the Sabers outscoring their opponents nine to four over consecutive wins against the Panthers and lightning on the road. And the sun is shining in downtown Buffalo on a brand new Sabers live week. You know why this is a beautiful day? If you have a dog and you're going outside or the dog park, they're not going to get muddied and wet and all because everything's frozen. It's perfect. You know, I've experienced that this morning, but yes, it was good. So, empty netters were for winners on Friday as Krebs now has a career best. 29 points on the season. Yes.

4:07He extended his point-producing ways against Tampa as part of a lopsided 6-2 win on Saturday. Now, the real possibility of another winning week could show the standings looking dramatically different by Sunday when the lightning come in to close out back-to-back this weekend against the Predators and lightning on home ice. But so much happens before then with Vegas here tomorrow and into Pittsburgh on Thursday. Yeah, and so obviously the Sabers are four points back of the Tampa Bay Lightning which are first in the Atlantic Division. Tampa has two games in hand. But it's just great to see that, you know, we've been juggling from the right side of the screen when you look at the standings with the wildcard back to the left side and being in that conversation for top three in the Atlantic. Now, top two looking at Detroit and Montreal kind of trailing a little bit. But I think that Tampa Bay is a team that you can get to. Now, I understand Veslevsky with 17-0 and 1 in his last 18 games.

5:08He had a bad one against the Sabers. Kutcherov was just on fire with two points of game more over the last whatever games. But, you know, you didn't look at the part. Like they had an off night. That did. And that's fine. But I think that often the way I look at it now is that the Sabers are forcing other teams into off nights in the way that they're starting the game and the way that they're like Toronto at an off night against Tampa coming back from the break. Well, you know what? Tampa put them in the place right away. And then it follows that way. So I look at Buffalo putting Tampa in an uncomfortable position to have an off night and to have Veslevsky struggle. And I love that we do, you know, these gold open, these recaps because I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right. Dallin at that goal. And Norris at the turn of the wrist. And Thompson at a beautiful one. And Metsa. I was on the bench practice this morning. And Metsa skated by. And I was talking to a couple of the trainers. Did you call them smooth operator? No, I did not.

6:08But I mentioned it to the trainers. I'm like, how about this guy? You know, he was nicknamed smooth operator after the game back Malenstein. Like, I love that. And they were like, what a goal. Like everybody's talking about it. Yeah. Which by the way, it was intense at Morningskate today. Well, Morningskate at practice. It's an off day. But you know, Rasmus Dallin will join us in a little. Oh, like if the guys are fully embracing the intense nature of what practice have been since returning from the Olympic break. Well, I mean, you would know this, though. Like the balance in a situation like this, where it's about having full energy on game days. And to a certain extent, limited practice time, whether that's because of travel or just, you know, sometimes brutal nature of the schedule. So how often would you perhaps with how many 22 games remaining? Have a practice with this kind of intensity the rest of the way? Well, from now until the end of the year,

7:09I would think, you know, maybe once a week, right? Like if the schedule allows it, if it allows it, if it allows it to have that type of intensity. But there's the thing. Like last week, before they left for New Jersey, they were skating at Leacom Harbor Center. They were skating for 40 minutes, having a scrape, and then going for another 30, 35 minutes. I mean, it was well over an hour. You don't often see practices go past 40 minutes, now 35 minutes. At this time of year, they were going over an hour, and the results were there. So this is the funny thing. I remember when I was in New York with the Rangers, and tortor Ellis practice stuff, or they were hard. They were intense. There was never any breaks. It was go, go, go, go, go for 30, 40 minutes. Yeah. And then the guys would sit around after a big win, and they'd be like, we kind of shut ourselves in the foot here. Because the more we win, the more he's going to push us in practice, and we're going to continue to win. Like we'd be joking, obviously, but that's what it is. I think then the rough is seeing this as an opportunity.

8:10You responded in a positive manner with three wins, with how intense practices were. If I have an opportunity, I'm going to keep leading you down that path. Sabers in Vegas here at Keybank Center tomorrow, six in the NHL today, including an afternoon affair in Nashville. It starts at 2 p.m. Detroit is there, so it's relevant to Buffalo from a stand point. As the wings are wildcard one right now, Boston is wildcard two, and the Sabers, of course, are second in the Atlantic division. So these are always things to keep an eye on. Columbus is in action tonight as well against the Rangers. Philadelphia Toronto has now become huge, because the flyers picked up points in five of their last six games with a couple of wins heading into the Leafs, who have been abysmal since the Olympic break, and that has really hampered their chances. And also worth noting, later tonight, Carolina at Seattle, as the Canes have a four game western road trip here, they've been so dynamic, which is one regulation loss in the last 18, and Colorado at LA, where the Kings have a new coach,

9:11and DJ Smith behind the bench, who replaces Jim Hiller. Sabers cannot lose their second place in the Atlantic today, because even if Detroit was to win against Nashville this afternoon, they would have a lesser win percentage or point percentage, and the Sabers have the more regulation wins anyway, so they cannot fall from second. Now Montreal could fall from third to wildcard one, but when the Sabers play tomorrow night against Vegas, they will still be in second place regardless of what happens today. So much to get to here on Sabers Live on a Monday, including, as mentioned, Rasmus Dallien's going to join us a little later in the show, what's the one takeaway from the winning weekend in the Sunshine State? Oh, speed, I think. I looked at the way that they played. They were fast. The legs were going against New Jersey on Wednesday, and that was the first thing I noticed. The legs are going, the execution wasn't so much there, like the hands were a little behind.

10:11Puck was bouncing, and the passes weren't that crisp, but they came through with a tight win to one in New Jersey, but I felt like the speed was still there on back-to-back games Friday Saturday, and the execution was obviously much better. The tight little plays. It creps the Thompson. The inner change. Even the Norse drive down low when he gets it back to Malinstein for the slap shot for the 2-1 goal against Florida. That to me was big. Maybe, maybe I should have said, you asked me, one takeaway, was challenge and reviews? Oh, well, Marty, this leads us to the point. This leads us to this data or the other, as far as who had the best outburst this weekend on the opposite side of the Sabers. Was it Paul Marice? Was it his net-minder, Danielle Tarasov? Or was it John Cooper? I'm going to give Paul Marice the gold medal

11:12in that situation from his, you know, diving way down on the bench to looking up to, what did he say again? Fortunate. He said fortunate when he let out a yell. No, he did not. He did not, but that was what I think he said. Anyway, I say Paul Marice, plus with a shirt collar sticking out of his jacket because he was so disheveled. Yeah, he was missing his collar stays on Friday, clearly, because they were off all day. They were poking out. That's one. I'm going to go with Tarasov number two, when his quote after the game basically saying, I don't know what the heck, they're smoking up there in Toronto. I'm looking up watches and to see if there's a haze. There's a bubble of smoke over the situation room in Toronto. What a quote. You know, I mean, I will say this. As a goal tender, I understand. Like you're trying to make a save. Contact happens. You're angry. He had a fantastic game.

12:12Plus, he loses the game on an empty net goal. Like the game winning goal is the Krebs empty net. And then the Florida Panther score again. So that's a tough one. You got to be frustrated. And then John Cooper. Yeah. It was John Cooper was not happy. I didn't think that was a kicking motion from all of you, Brockstrain. The poor guy got bits forked back. As his foot flew off the ice going forward, the overhead camera looks like he's kicking it in. But I don't think that's a kicking. I think that's your body is going in the natural way when you're being held back like this. And it went the same as way. No big deal. Who had the best outburst, Maurice? Maurice Gold Medal, Teresav Silver and Cooper Bronze. But the all three add metal. It leads us unofficially to a new segment that I've dubbed Monday Moratorium. I mean, we have Marty Features out the wazoo right now on the broadcast on social on the website. So I'm creating my own. And the Monday Moratorium is stop saying that your team doesn't get the calls.

13:13Please just stop saying that because Holy cow. I don't know if you could have had a better weekend getting the calls, earning the calls, benefiting from the calls, and winning hockey than what the savers had this week. How about this one at the end of the Friday night game? Peyton Cribs has the puck inside his blue line. The icing chips it off the wall all the way down the ice. The one line's been at the far side is starting to skate fast towards the goal line to prepare for the icing. I get it. There's 10 seconds left in the game. But that could give Florida one last shot. The line's been that was on the short side. Waves it off. And the whole bench on Florida just erupted. These are not the type of calls that if you're washing at home and you know at the bar and you don't realize, but I'm looking at it. I looked over to you. I'm like, I can't believe they did not call that a icing. There's another break. So I agree with you, Duffer, when I think that most teams, like Florida is going to say,

14:13we never get the call. Tampa is going to say, we never get the call. Every team in the national hockey league says we don't get the call this weekend. Buffalo got the calls. It worked out in their favor. Rasmus Dallin coming up. Alex Lyon was in the starters. Now to practice this morning lines. Looked the same as they did in Tampa Bay. We had a pretty good week from an anytime goal scorers. That's what we did. We picked them good, good picks. You had Peyton Crabbs on Friday night. And Wednesday last week. That's right. You picked them on back-to-back games. And then I had Rasmus Dallin on Saturday, which he opened up the scoring to make it one nothing. It was fantastic. Three-point game for him. Defense scoring is dominant across the NHL this year. Probably at a level we haven't seen since the early 90s. And Dallin is a huge part of that. So how are you feeling with 22 games left? Who's going to win this epic battle between the two of us where you narrowly now have once again taken the lead as far as correct picks on any time goal scorers? I don't mind the way this graphic is laid out because I think we can split that gold medal in half. And I have picked more correct, but you have that better value.

15:13So I think this would be perfect. We're a duo. We're a duo. So we both have covered. But so again, like when you're looking at Dallin and the offense from the defense, they are up to 41 goals as a group now this season. They had 40 all year last year. We had 22 games left and they've already... I mean, they could get to 50. Right? Like I think 50 is a sustainable level. Absolutely. 50-55 could be right there in the cards for them from the blue line. Yeah. And obviously, you know, we'll dive in a little deeper with Rasmus on that coming up. No surprise at this point. Just what you were saying looking at practice and not expecting any changes. And you would expect though, like a... Is it going to be a true rotation in your opinion now? From a golden and lion? Yeah. I think so. And look, all three of them are put in the work, right? And Friday is Street Deadline Day.

16:14There could be some paper transactions that happen depending on what the movement is because before Friday, 3 p.m., you have to respect the roster limits. 23 players, the cap and all of that. After Friday, you can be over the 23 player limit. You just got to be within the cap. So, you know, we may see some adjustment. But I do believe that we're going to get at Luke and in lion, Luke and in now lion again. Until like somebody kind of separates themselves a little bit, or maybe you're getting the last six, seven games and you have to make a decision and prepare for eventual little, you know, spring hockey. That's what I'm going to call it. So, yeah, I think there could be a decision there. But right now, both of them are playing well. And I feel bad for Colton Ellis because when he played, he played really well. But right now, he's getting narrowed down to a couple and keep going. Right, but as you know, it's also pretty cool to be on an NHL roster all season.

17:15It's very cool. It's cool for the paycheck. It's cool for the experience. It's cool for the experience. And you never know. Right. This year was a crazy year for all three of them. They all had to deal with injuries. They all had their moments of playing. They all had their success. Now all three of them are healthy. And look, this got to be the exception to the rule. I have said it many, many times. Three goalies is very hard to work. But I do find it that all three of them, they're number one, they're great people. They work really well together. Mike Bills, you know, assistant coach, goalie coaches has found a way to get everybody their work. There has been a lot of players that have been rehabbing and kind of taken part in skates that have helped getting some of the works for the goalies done as well. We're a couple of days closer to Baltimore Bucks now after this winning weekend. And that takes us back to our end of week poll. Yes. What should Marty's haircut be? Hair style, pardon me, B before he goes bald for Bucks.

18:17Did you see the end results on this? Yes, I did. And? It's a bull cut. Oh yeah. It is the bull cut. And it's me look more like a dumb and dumber. Jim Carey type of looking because my hair won't be super long. But it was kind of funny that my barber texted me last night. No way. Not last night, Saturday night after the game. And he goes bull cut is going to be really funny. So I don't know that it's going to look exactly like number C. Letter C, I should say, on this screen right now. But it will definitely have some flair to it. Marty and Dan going bald for Bucks. The game day for that is March the 28th.

19:18And this is first contemplating a different hairstyle beforehand. I don't know. I didn't. I haven't seen Dan like day. It was the Olympic break. 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.

Was Dan not on the show? Dan was on the show. But we had a lot. I had a lot to worry about. You did? Sorry. Part of that was my fault. No, it was fine. And it was during the Olympics. We had a lot going on. But I'll say this. When I talk to Dan through- I know he's been growing it. He has been growing it. He hasn't gotten a haircut.

Rasmus, great to see you. Welcome back. Not only to town here, but post Olympic break. How are you feeling? Feeling good. Nice to get three wins here. So I feel really good. How? I want to say, how intense have practices been since you returned?

24:27Because I saw a couple of practices at Harbor Center last week. This morning was really intense. Very high tempo. Even some physicality a little bit. So is that a change of pace a little bit in the way you guys are able to practice? I mean, I want to say Lindy is always wanted to practice hard. But you know, we have high standards around here. So practice are hard. And you know, if we have a workout, all the guys are doing the workouts. And we just have raised the standards. I feel like overall ultimate take away for you from your Olympic experience. It was an awesome experience to be able to play with the best from Sweden. Final touch Swedish. I mean, just to play those games, it's special. It's something not a lot of people get to experience. But what about indulging in your country's moments of success as far as medals? Did you have a chance to, you know, watch that, feel it at all or no?

25:30Yeah, I mean, in the Olympic Village, we saw a lot of other athletes. And we always watched the other events on TV when we had the chance. But we were unable to see any events live. But you can feel it. It's just a special experience. Did you guys have a special place for the Swedish contingency to hang out? And was it full with Swedish food and candy and all that stuff? No, so there's a cafeteria with, you know, everybody eats there. It's pasta. It's, you know, the basic stuff. The basic stuff. And then, you know, it's basic Italian pasta. Exactly. So yes. Very authentic. So it was nice. It was good. And then it was like, I would think it was like five, six level buildings. So we had, we had, I think we had three levels that we were able to hang out. Like all the athletes. So Swedish candy, you know, some Swedish TV television.

26:31And it was nice. Cross country skiing in your family at all? No. Not at all. But the sweets are unbelievable at it. Absolutely. The Norwegians are pretty good at it too. Yeah. Like they are special. Let me ask you this. If it wasn't, like if you could pick any event at the Olympics to do. Like which one would you say I would like to try that? I'm a competitor. So I think I would have the best chance at Bob's Lid. Maybe. Just a push. A two man or four. Oh, four. So I'll just be in the middle then. That's crazy though. They go like 85 miles an hour. And they're like sliding on ice. All right. Besides Osland, name another suite that you would take with you for the 2030 Olympics. Ooh. Lucas Raymond. Or are you saying from Buffalo? Can be from Buffalo or maybe someone who wasn't on the team with you yet that you think could have that potential. Okay.

27:31Okay. I'll pick Rosie. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, he's growing every year and he's having a great year. Yeah. So he'll take steps now. You mentioned Lucas Raymond. Obviously Detroit. You guys are in a battle. Detroit and, you know, Montreal. Did you guys discuss that that race for the playoffs a little bit while you were there in the Olympics? Yeah. You can really sense to that, you know, Sabre is getting more respect around the league. And guys are talking about that we're getting better and stuff. So, you know, closer and closer, I think we'll get more trips on. Marty, you were a part of a new feature that was unveiled last week. Did you want to approach that with with brass and talk about your incredible strength and conditioning? While you were still in Sweden, well, in Italy with Sweden, I did a small feature with Brian Galvin, the director of sports performance.

28:32And he put me through a workout. I struggle. Like, you know, when you have the harness on and you have the two sticks and you do the squat. It's an 80 squats. Do you know what, like, what's your level, what your number is when you do those squats? No. Actually, I don't know. So, this is me right now, like, doing it. And I thought this was going to be easy. Like, it was going to be fine. And I could barely get up the first one. And I think I was, like, 480 or 500. And he says, Alex Duck does over a thousand. Like, I'm struggling to get up with that thing. I think most of the guys are around 1000 maybe. Yeah. But, yeah, Tucky, he's next level when it comes to that stuff. Do you like, Brian was telling me that guys do full workouts sometimes before games, after games? What do you like? Do you like to go before games, lift a little, or do you like more post games? No. The last couple of years, I've been doing more in the gym.

29:32I can't say I hate it, but I don't do after games because I'm tired. Yeah. I don't have any pop. I like to be fresh when I go into the gym. So, every morning after games or pre-game skate and stuff, I got it. I'm trying to get in a full workout. What's your playing weight now? I think I'm around two or five to attend there somewhere. It's probably about 35 pounds more than when you came into the league. How do you feel different, like, strength-wise, and just keeping it that way at this point in your career? I like it. It's more efficient as a demon in the corners around the net. I'm not as light anymore, so I can't buzz around for 30, just be not tired. He says, I don't know. But yeah, I can still move, but I got some weight when I need it. The game in Tampa, you get the puck on the left side and you cut to the middle.

30:34You give yourself a great spot to shoot the puck from. When you see guys driving the net like this, how different or how easier is it for you as a defenseman to find the right shooting lane? Yeah. The drive is what matters when you're going to entry. We talk a lot about the middle-aged drive. In that case, I think we had three drivers. That opens up everything. You have so much time and you have more time to think. The middle-aged drive is key. Big week for the team. All teams. Trade deadline comes up. Just curious your thoughts as far as where the team is at. How you feel like you navigate a week like this, which is undoubtedly stressful for all players around the league. Yeah. As a team, I think we're in a good spot just trying to get better every day. Just to find ways to take our game to the next level and then it's drama's job to trade in those stuff.

31:39But in the locker room, I haven't even heard anyone talk about that. Do you have a relationship now with your general manager now that he's been here a little while? Yeah, it's good. Still feels like it wasn't a long time ago he got here. But we've had a lot of chats and he's very professional and I love him as a GM. Will you play him and pick a ball? I've heard he's good. Do you haven't played yet? I'm going to have to pre-scout him before I step in on the court. Are you a hardcore guy or a clay or what do you like to when you get on the court? Put me on anything. Anything, see? That's the competitor. I don't care. I'll slice it on the clay. Wasn't that long ago that you were the 18-year-old defenseman that everybody was talking about in the NHL.

32:42What do you make of Matthew Schaefer with the Islanders? I mean, it's so cool to watch. He's doing an unbelievable job. The pressure doesn't face him. But also fitness-wise, that guy can skate and he can fly. He's very powerful and seems like he can fly out there. The scary thing is he's going to continue to get better. I'm excited to see where he can go. Everybody's got a different path to the NHL. Zach Metza's path to the NHL was completely different than yours or Matthew Schaefer. And then Beck Malinstein called him a smooth operator when he gave him the belt the other night. What is Metza like and what have you liked from his support and being part of the group? I see Metza as a leader, honestly. He's a very composed, confident guy.

33:46He's very professional. He works really hard. And then on the ice, it doesn't matter what situation he gets put in. He just seems so calm and does the right thing all the time. Last night he saw some unbelievable skill, too. We have to play with him a little bit more in Tampa because you guys were kind of switching the pairs, too. So you were on the ice with him quite a bit. Yeah, I love playing with him. He plays the right way and he always makes the right decision out there. So it's very, very easy to play with him. We have Tage on the show tomorrow. Anything we should ask him? I'm sure you guys are going to talk about the gold. We have these titles. I'm sorry. I know. You'll get it back in 2030. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. Was it, was it eight? I have no idea. I don't know. Who knows? Yeah, exactly. Next, 2030. 2030. Sweden.

34:47We're going to get him going on. Yeah, that's, yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's in France, right? Yeah. That would be nice. But he TNT earns this. It's going to be an unbelievable experience tomorrow. I atmosphere it tomorrow. Yeah. I think so. I'm fired up. Aside from France, what's your next travel plan? Like what's a city place there? Like, is you love travel? Where's one place that you would really love to get to in the, in your free time when you, when you have? I don't, I actually don't know. Are you spontaneous with stuff like this? Yeah, yeah. I would say so. I, I, I love France. Now I have a reason to go back. So we probably will go back and go back to the hospital and, and talk to all the nurses and doctors that helped. I think that's, that might be the next plan, honestly. Yeah. Well, that's good. It's Zach Werenzki.

35:47I think with Columbus as a map in his house. Oh, so he has a dot and a pin. I've ever seen that. Yeah. So maybe you guys got to start, you know, something like that with some special locations that you've been to. Yeah, where do you guys think I should go? Well, Australia, I think it's going to be like super cool. Australia. That's a long fight. Yeah. My daughter went to South Africa last year and she absolutely loved it. Really? It was awesome. They went on a safari. She said it was incredible. So maybe that's something to think about. For sure. You know, seeing wild animals right there. Like taking a picture of a leopard. Like, you know, on the tree. A lion or whatever. A lion there. Like there was a lion eating and you can hear the bone crunching and everything. Oh my god. Incredible. So yeah. Yeah. I think going to a different continent is something. I always used to stay in Europe. Might have to explore something. Yeah. That's good. Thank you for the time. Great to see you. Thank you.
