Matthew Fairburn joins Sat and Bik to break down Buffalo’s long‑awaited return to playoff territory and the electric, nerve‑filled atmosphere around a fan base watching them battle a defensively dialed‑in Bruins squad.

Kevin Woodley then steps in to unpack Vancouver’s approach to the hiring process, the importance of forward‑thinking leadership, and Ukko‑Pekka Luukkonen’s Game 2 performance.
