The Sabs are back at it and so are we!

We cover the win over NJ, UPL & Norris returning to the lineup, Krebs continuing to step up when called upon, and look at the home stretch of games before sharing our thoughts on the aftermath Team USA's gold medal wins. @hockeypodnet.bsky.social

Trivia Night returns next week! Gather some friends or compete solo for a chance to win 100 level Sabres tickets as they enter the final stretch to break the drought. Good times guaranteed, tell your friends & come through!

Clearly, the break was great for UPL. Great game from him.

Our next Buffalo Sports Trivia Night is just under two weeks away! We’re switching it up for this one and doing general sports trivia rather than strictly Buffalo sports, so mark your calendars & assemble your pals for a fun night of remembering some guys at Mr. Goodbar.

OK, so looking like the two seed for the US!

Seems like the top seed will come down to goal differential. Will be interesting to see how much US and Canada try to run it up tomorrow👀

Oh we gotta ask about that next time

ICYMI: Former Sabre Doug Bodger joined the pod this week to for a wide-ranging chat about the Sabres, his long career, & his time in Buffalo.

Being part of one of the best powerplays in team history in 92-93, he gave us his perspective on what makes a strong powerplay:

!!!

I can imagine if I was alive for Molgilny’s Sabres tenure I’d have some complaints but god damn what loveable lil Russian scoring machine

Sucks to have to spend three weeks thinking of this and Tuesday's collapse, but clearly they need the break

Just get the puck to the big fella and good things happen!

Incredible how often the power play looks like it's made up of five guys who just met

Had a great time interviewing former Sabres defenseman Doug Bodger. He has some great stories about the early 90s in Buffalo.

Had the pleasure of having 90's Sabre Doug Bodger return to the pod for a wide-ranging chat about the Sabres' success this season, his career, and stories from his playing days, including this gem of a story about Alex Mogilny. Listen wherever you stream podcasts!

It's great. But being that closer to 4 (and holding Tampa to zero) hurts

Incredibly frustrating, given the circumstances. But they're now up 9 on Ottawa and 11 on Florida. And they'll remain 9 up on Toronto with a game in hand if the Oilers can take care of business tonight.

BRUTAL brainfart by Krebs there, can't happen.

Can't be happy with just a point here

Garage! Do it for the moms!!

Bobby Orr has a poster of Mattias Samuelson on his wall

Bring me the Tampa Bay Lightning!

1/3 of the way through the season, the Sabres were last in the Eastern Conference.
2/3 of the way through the season, they're five points out of first.
