Maintenance Day

Lance and Joe are back and even with Lance addled with a case of COVID-19, the guys press on discussing how silly Sabres Twitter can be when the vibes are good (2:40). The top line has been a bit... less exciting recently and Don Granato switched some things around a little in the past week. That's cool, right (11:00)? The offseason will bring some changes next season and the guys take a peek...

Lance and Joe are back in action and Joe thanks everyone for their patience (0:00). The guys never got a chance to discuss Jack Eichel's not-so warm Buffalo homecoming and how he'll never be welcome at anyone in Buffalo's Christmas parties ever again (2:30). Monday was the NHL trade deadline and the Sabres were... quiet. Was it too quiet? (10:30). The lack of moves have made things...

It's another Monday Maintenance Day and gosh the Sabres sure could use one, huh? Lance and Joe get into a smorgasbord of Sabre-y topics this week, but start off the show SMH'ing the coaches they forgot for their fighting coaches debate from last week (0:00). From there the guys discuss the latest Sabres losing streak and how the schedule does anything and everything but lighten up the re...

It's a real maintenance day thanks to it being Presidents' Day and boy could the Sabres use a day or two off. This week, Lance checks in from Columbus, Ohio as he and Joe dig into the question on everyone's minds: Which two coaches would be the most fun to see duke it out? (1:00) OK so now that they've put that debate in your head, don't let that distract you from what the...

We know you all enjoy when we poke at Ralph Krueger and since it's Valentine's Day consider this our box of chocolates and roses for you because Jeff Skinner has thrown off the shackles and piled up goals (1:30). What makes that all the more fun is he's part of a legitimate top line for Buffalo joining up with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch (16:00). But... the Sabres are still a losing...

It's the All-Star Break and the Sabres have been off for a bit, but that's OK! Lance and Joe take a look back at the surprises and disappointments of the first half of the season (8:35) as well as: - what's the deal with Rasmus Dahlin and should there be worry (29:45) - Henri Jokiharju's role and what it should and could be (38:00) - Dylan Cozens is going to break out eventuall...

While Joe holds it down in Buffalo, Lance is on the road covering the Sabres and he tells us all about the road trip from hell for the team. From COVID Testing silliness to more injuries, the Sabres once again proved they are never dull.   Here's the rundown for this week's episode: 0:00 - The nightmare road trip from hell - or how to juggle an NHL lineup. It's a movie title in the...

If you missed our previous episode, you missed out on when we called for Mattias Samuelsson and Jack Quinn to be called up to stay a while and that's just what the Sabres did! With... some unfortunate luck, of course. Here's the rundown for this week's episode for you hunt-and-peck listeners: 0:00 - Let's relive Risto Day and remember his glorious (???) Sabres era. 8:00 - Peyto...

So... things might feel a little bit down in the dumps when it comes to the Sabres because, you know, they're not the Bills? Also they've got some issues. So! That's why Lance and Joe decided to find some more pleasant Sabres topics like future guys and what a life with proper goaltending might be like and... oh no, there's more peril. 0:00 -- Welcome back friends, the guys giv...

Since the Sabres are playing once every 10 days these days (thanks COVID!) you'd think we'd be lacking in stuff to talk about. You'd be WRONG ! Here's the rundown if you wanted to skip around, but it'd be cool if you just listened all the way through. You'd be the coolest person on the internet, in fact. 0:00 -- Welcome again -- so about that game against the Sharks.....

Let's lay out what the fellas hit on this week: 0:00 Happy New Year -- let's talk some new faces. 3:00 Assessing JJ Peterka's brief appearance in Buffalo 7:30 Congrats to the Sabres for not burying the noobs deep in the lineup. Let's remember some guys! 10:10 Let's talk about Mr. Krebs and how he should probably stick around. 20:20 UPL and being under fire -- the shots are...

We start off talking about the latest Sabres COVID cases and lament that there may be more (0:20); but at least the World Junior Championships are underway and Owen Power is the main attraction for Canada (3:00); there are some other Sabres prospects like Jakub Konecny, Isak Rosen, and Nikita Novikov (8:50). J-J Peterka is not playing for Germany so would you let him and other Sabres prospects pla...

Lance and Joe figured out the TBD part of what was the Unnamed Buffalo Hockey Podcast and discuss what led them down the path to choose "Maintenance Day." (0:00) The excitement of a great road trip for the Sabres got people talking playoffs. PLAYOFFS!? Fine, we'll be grinches about it -- but realistic grinches! Also there's the peril of thinking big while rebuilding, too. It&ap...

Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News and Joe Yerdon from Noted Hockey discuss what's up with the Sabres goaltending, the plan for Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, the ugly play of Aaron Dell,  the pain for Casey Mittelstadt, and how the organization should/could handle where to go with their very promising youth among other topics. Hit us with your comments, complaints, and compliments -- we're all e...
