Rachel and Mike jump the boards for a fresh shift on Ice Time to go over the Sabres' win over the Montreal Canadiens to begin the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

First, how Buffalo roared to life over the seemingly flat Canadiens; how the Sabres' power play came alive at the right time; and how goalie Alex Lyon outplayed Jakub Dobes in Game 1. But don't bank on Montreal looking so out of sync in Game 2. Cole Caufield, a 51-goal scorer in the regular season, has to come alive at some point, doesn't he?

Plus, a big moment for captain Rasmus Dahlin, who was announced as a finalist for the Norris and Masterton trophies on Thursday.
