Lyon and his teammates are in uncharted territory. This is Buffalo's first appearance in the second round in 19 years. What isn't lost on Lyon, though, is the quality of his opponents. The Sabres goaltender recognized this fact after the loss on Sunday night.
"They're such a dangerous team," Lyon said, via NHL.com. "They have four lines that can contribute, so credit to them. It's our job now to be able to get it out of our system and be ready to play in the next game."
However, the Sabres goalie isn't exactly rolling over for Montreal. The Canadiens are a great team and have earned both their wins in this series. But Lyon firmly believes Buffalo's best effort is yet to come.
"They've won two and they have some momentum, and they've played well both of the last games. But you know what? We haven't played our best game in the series and so we have to focus on bringing that the next game," he said after Game 3.
