@FlameRaptorRaven's rating of Canadiens vs Sabres

@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Canadiens vs Sabres game 9.4 out of 10 in NHL on May 18, 2026. Final score: Canadiens 3 – Sabres 2. Conf. Finals. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

This game 7 lived up to the hype and then some, especially when it came to nerves. Holy cow my heart was beating throughout this game and it only got faster when the 3rd came around and eventually, overtime. Overtime was a little slow, but very intense back and forth ending with a shot in the heart to every Buffalo-resident. Before that, we got a great game. The trend of insane 1st periods did not continue in this one, but Montreal jumped ahead once again. Danault picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the playoffs, then Bolduc doubled the lead with a perfect blast. The Sabres didn’t forget what happened in game 6 and came out firing on all cylinders in the 2nd and 3rd. Dahlin in particular was sensational as he carried over his game 6 performance. Jakub Dobes kept Montreal’s season alive and allowed the baddest man on the planet rn, Alex Newhook, to score the winner in overtime. Sadly, there were some brief ref shenanigans, but nothing that took away from this awesome game
