## Resource

Paul Hamilton and the crew dissect the Sabres' defensive meltdown in Montreal, where an 11-3 scoring deficit across two games has turned Game 4 into an absolute must-win. From questioning the "Stanley experiment" to weighing a high-stakes goalie swap, the team searches for ways to stop the bleeding before the series slips away.
