Thompson's candid assessment suggests that his team struggled to maintain their composure in the face of Montreal's relentless pressure, ultimately leading to a decisive defeat. As the series shifts back to Buffalo, the Sabres will be looking to regroup and find a way to counter the Canadiens' home advantage.
