This is the question hanging over the series: Are the Montreal Canadiens simply better… Or are the Buffalo Sabres not competing hard enough? On this episode of Sabres in Six, D.A. digs into revealing offday comments from Lindy Ruff and Alex Tuch ahead of Game 4. Both openly discussed effort — or the lack of it. That’s alarming in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But D.A. also explains why that’s actually the good news: effort is fixable. This isn’t about needing more talent overnight. It’s about urgency. Physicality. Compete level. D.A. goes inside the real key to Game 4 — and why Buffalo’s season may come down to whether they’re willing to match Montreal’s desperation. #Sabres #Canadiens #NHL #StanleyCupPlayoffs #Buffalo #SabresInSix 🔥🔥🔥 Welcome inside the mind of Damon Amendolara (D.A.) — national host on SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio with an Upstate New York soul 🔥🔥🔥 🏒 “Sabres in Six” — instant reaction after every Buffalo Sabres playoff game, plus bonus episodes throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs 🏈 “Bill Matic” — passionate Buffalo Bills reactions after every game and multiple episodes weekly throughout the offseason 🎬 “Watch D.A.
