As the old saying goes, “Taylor has never been wrong about anything in his life” and that applies to the Tuch situation. @taylornigrelli.bsky.social

“It’s not “oh it’s gonna be a problem when he’s 37.” It could be a problem when he’s 32.” On our new episode out now, we discuss the latest on Alex Tuch, goaltending next year, if the Sabres should trade young pieces for proven talent, & more offseason questions.

Happy Birthday to one-half of the finest Sabres podcast in existence! @brendanorr.bsky.social

No formal pod watch party tonight but we’ll be watching the game at Mr. Goodbar if you’re in need of Game 7 plans! Not just saying it because they’re our sponsor but the vibes, beverages, and food will be unmatched so come hangout. #thisisnotanad #okaymaybeitisalittle

We are putting the bad vibes of Game 3 behind us and are LOCKING IN for the Game 4 watch party upstairs at Mr. Goodbar on Tuesday. Our last watch party was the 6-1 win over Boston in Game 4, so we’re expecting similar results tomorrow. Let’s tie this series up! 😤🦬⚔️🍻

No sense in talking about any other contracts this offseason until Benson’s is done. What a player.

The Sabres are onto round 2 & face a tough opponent in Montreal. While the two teams share similar profiles, the Sabres have shown a versatility in how they can win games that will hopefully present problems for MTL. New episode previewing the series, looking back at Boston, & more out now.

Had such a blast on Sunday at Mr. Goodbar. Thanks to everyone who came out, can't wait for the next one! Check out our first ever full video episode on YouTube (or your usual streaming platform). Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZjj...

I don’t post here (or in general) too much these days but I’m feeling #emotional about the Sabres so sharing a thread I posted over on Twitter about this season

Keep the celebrations going for our Atlantic Division winning Buffalo Sabres TONIGHT at our final Buffalo Sports Trivia Night of the season upstairs at Mr. Goodbar! 7 pm start, don’t miss it!

Before the season, @brendanorr.bsky.social and I hosted a trivia challenge with some local media at Mr. Goodbar. I remember laughing with Matt and others afterwards about one analytics model clocking the Sabres at 98 points. And they cleared it by 10 points! After starting with 26 in 29 games!

Our final trivia night of the season is going down tomorrow at Mr. Goodbar! Show off how well you can name some guys and win cool prizes. Good times guaranteed, come through!

Hello friends my Oasis tribute band with other Buffalo music scene fellas is playing at Jack Rabbit tonight for a cool $5. If you haven’t been to one of our shows yet, they’re a total blast. Come through.

Usual caveats about shootouts and no ties etc. but this is just mind blowing. The 1975 Sabres! +114 goal differential! Like, a dozen guys from that team are in the Sabres Hall of Fame! One of two teams to beat the Ken Dryden Canadiens in the playoffs!

Our last trivia night of the season is upon us! Join us upstairs at Mr. Goodbar this Tuesday night at 7 PM to put your ball & puck knowledge to the test. They’ve been a blast all year but especially as of late, don’t miss out!

We’re approaching the 4th annual benefit concert I put on for my late sister w/ proceeds going to a great local mental health/addiction resource, ROME. We’re trying to raise $11K to get our 4-year total to $50K. Would mean a ton if you’d consider donating: www.paypal.com/donate/?camp...

Put your ability to name some guys to the test TOMORROW upstairs at Mr. Goodbar for Trivia Night for your chance to win tix to the Sabres regular season finale! Even if you don’t want to compete, you can come hangout & watch the game while enjoying some of the best bar food & beverages in WNY.

ICYMI: We welcomed @rmlenzi.bsky.social back to the pod late last week to check in ahead of the Sabres final stretch. We talk Lindy Ruff for Jack Adams, the origins of the team's December turnaround, who we're excited to see elevate their game in the playoffs, and more! @hockeypodnet.bsky.social

“… like so many other places” hmmm yes that does sound familiar

"I really compare Sabres fans in this region to Soviet sleeper agents. They're always just waiting to get turned on."

Jack Quinn hat trick the Sabres are unstoppable

Ah well go get Robert Thomas now

Time for Jarmo to lock in

The Sabres are the talk of the NHL as they keep racking up wins while being in the midst of high profile trade speculation. In a vacuum, Parayko is a good add to the blueline, but given his contract, age, & acquisition cost, is he the -right- win-now target? New episode out now.

SPORTS TRIVIA & SABRES VS VEGAS WATCH PARTY TOMORROW AT MR. GOODBAR! Put your sports smarts to the test to win tickets to an upcoming Sabres game while watching the Sabs take on the Golden Knights at one of Buffalo’s best bars.

Day 1 for the new President: 1) Outlaw Kalshi and Polymarket 2) Seize their servers 3) Analyze who made money on these stupid bets 4) Arrest anyone who did anything resembling insider trading 5) Burn Kalshi and Polymarket HQ to the ground and put housing in its place

Taylor & I had a good chat about the Team USA controversy after diving into the Sabres post-Olympic return to action. Check it out wherever you stream podcasts/music.

This photo is gonna do generational numbers in the future any time the Red Wings lose after Patel inevitably ends up in prison

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

Can't even imagine how sick it must've been to watch a LaFontaine-Mogilny-Andreychuk-Hawerchuk-Bodger powerplay. And it was run by John Tortorella lmao

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!

My new band deb. dropped our debut single today, check out “Ankle Weights” wherever you stream music! Spotify: bit.ly/3HM8Znm Apple Music: apple.co/3HLKWVG

It’s been a while since we’ve done a mailbag, so reply here with your questions for us to answer on Thursday’s episode! Offseason, 25-26 season, Sabres/hockey history, league-wide, non-hockey, etc. whatever it is, send it our way!

Yet again, Kevyn Adams failed to act with any urgency this offseason. While Byram returning isn’t the worst, it’s another example of him fundamentally not being able to execute the moves needed to propel this team forward, even when he has 1 year left on his contract. (1/2)

Then today, we released a new episode covering the JJ Peterka trade, why it feels disappointing, how Kesselring and Doan will fit into the lineup, the reports that have come out in the aftermath, the front office, and more.

🧵: We dropped a pair of episodes this week, first welcoming Rachel Lenzi of the Buffalo News to the pod to discuss the Adams-Forton presser earlier this week, the offseason approach, Mogilny in the HOF and more!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Bowen Byram’s name is out there as someone who may be on the move. Minnesota & Los Angeles are two teams that make a ton of sense to us to engage in trade talks with. We discuss that, plus there still being no coaching changes, the goalie market, Amerks, & more on today’s ep.

We welcomed @cmdedominicis.bsky.social & @xbanth.bsky.social back to the pod for a long, wide-ranging offseason preview about front office & coaching moves, addressing holes in the roster, who could be on their way out, and so much more. Episode out now wherever you stream.
