The Sabres took both games in Boston and return home with a commanding 3-1 series lead. They have the opportunity to close out a series on home ice and we talk about the keys to Buffalo's game that will be imperative to earning a 4-1 series win. We break down Buffalo's relentless forecheck, how their defense has played a major role in their success and where they've taken advantage of the Bruins. We also share some of our favorite memories from home ice close-out games over the years.
