Locked On Sabres - Daily Podcast On The Buffalo Sabres

Sabres fans are annoyed at a 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins being the lasting taste for the next twenty days, as the NHL heads into the Olympic break. Despite a tough loss to the Pens, the Sabres are still in very good shape in the big picture of ending the playoff drought. The playoff odds are still north of 80%, and there is still a sizeable gap between the Sabres and the first teams out of the playoffs. Only some lessons should be taken from the loss. The Sabres need to upgrade the bottom of their blueline, as Jacob Bryson and Michael Kesselring struggled mightily. The Sabres need a powerplay specialist to help that unit, even though they've scored a PP goal in six straight games.HOWEVER, you shouldn't get too panicky about a lineup that included Isak Rosen, Konsta Helenius, and Tyson Kozak. Three players that likely will not be in the lineup down the stretch, assuming the team gets healthier. Plus, a couple of trade deadline names that Sneaky Joe is watching for when the roster freeze lifts in a couple weeks. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

The Buffalo Sabres can sit in second place in the Atlantic Division throughout the entire Olympic break with a win against the Penguins on home ice. Bypassing Montreal and Detroit could do a lot for fan vibes over the next three weeks. The Sabres will have to do it without Zach Benson and Josh Norris who won't return until after the break. What has made the Penguins so good this year after three bad years in a row? Evgeni Malkin's resurgence has been out of nowhere and critical to the Pens sitting in second place in the Metropolitan division. Are the Sabres a better team than Pittsburgh? Joe is feeling optimistic about the Sabres chances.Also, Mattias Samuelsson a last second add for Team USA? Maybe? And what we're looking at around the East, from losses by Boston and Detroit on Wednesday, to what you should be rooting for on Thursday night.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

The Buffalo Sabres had a lead against the Tampa Bay Lightning with 25 seconds to go. The Lightning tied the game and won it in overtime. Peyton Krebs made mistakes on both the tying goal and the winning goal, ESPECIALLY THE WINNING GOAL. However, there is reason to feel really good about the way the Florida road trip went, with three points out of a possible four. Including getting one point on the road, on the second of a back-to-back, with a backup goalie, against the best team in the Eastern Conference. The point puts the Sabres back into the top three in the Atlantic Division, but is that automatically a good thing? Sneaky Joe looks at the differences between playing on the Atlantic side of the bracket in the playoff and the Metro side of the bracket. Would you rather play Carolina in the first round to get an easier second round matchup? Or deal with Tampa in the second round for an easier first round opponent?Plus, who you should be rooting for on the NHL scoreboard on Wednesday night. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

On the road against the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Buffalo Sabres got off to a terrible start, down two goals early. Then, Lindy Ruff rallied the troops, kicked their butts into gear, and came back to win. Led by a three-point night by Peyton Krebs, one of the best games of his entire career. The Sabres again proved they're a team that is not going to take an entire night off, even if they do fall asleep for a period here and there. With the win, the Sabres playoff odds have skyrocketed, as they have at least an eight-point lead on all non-playoff Atlantic teams, and the odds of being caught by a Metro team continue to decrease. Is winning the division in play? With four games left against the Lightning, it would take a lot, but it's not over yet. Starting with a tough tough game in Tampa on Tuesday night.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

Following a loss to Montreal, the Sabres find themselves in the final spot in the East playoff picture. BUT NO NEED TO FEAR! The standings are still looking good both above and below them. However, this has become a big week with the Olympic break coming after just three more games. The Sabres have three tough opponents coming up to try and, at least, keep the cushion at six points between themselves and the first teams out. A preview of Sabres-Panthers shows a winnable game, with a lot of injuries still going on, on the Florida side of things. And changes to the lineup, Isak Rosen is likely to go in for Konsta Helenius, with more injury news on Jordan Greenway. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

Alex Tuch is in the final year of his contract with the Buffalo Sabres, while being the team's second leading scorer, following a hat-trick in the Sabres win over the LA Kings. As the Sabres continue to solidify their position in the playoff picture, and the trade deadline rapidly approaching, Sneaky Joe believes trading Alex Tuch away would be malpractice and the idea is a complete non-starter. Whether he leaves for nothing in free agency or not. Tuch continues to be a consistent offensive weapon for the Sabres at even-strength and on the penalty kill. What would it take to make a Tuch trade a good idea? Unless there's a better player in the deal, like potentially Elias Pettersson, the Sabres should hang up the phone on any Tuch trade.Plus, Alex Lyon sets the franchise record with a tenth win in a row, in a game where he stood on his head. The Sabres goalie stats continue to be the best of the entire playoff drought, even with the injuries they've dealt with. And CAN ANYONE IN THE ATLANTIC DIVISION LOSE A GAME!?!? A bad night on the out of town scoreboard featured just one bit of good news, the Panthers losing in St. Louis. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoTry Quo for free plus get 20% off your first 6 months when you go tohttp://Quo.com/lockedonnhlIndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

The Buffalo Sabres walked into Toronto, looking to put the Maple Leafs down in the playoff race, and they did exactly that with a 7-4 win. The hero of this game? Rasmus Dahlin gets his first career hat-trick and two assists to go with it, as he took the game over. Dahlin, who has dealt with so much personally, showing up for the Sabres has been one of the best stories of the season. A look at his goals shows the strength of the Sabres, their defensemen getting into the offensive game. Mattias Samuelsson adds to that with a three-point night himself. Plus, Colten Ellis comes in for an injured Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, and performed very well, turning away 16 of 18 shots. How much can the Sabres trust Ellis going forward? With UPL's injury timeline being cloudy, but only five games to go until the Olympic break, the Sabres may not need Ellis to start more than one game coming up. Also, big losses by the Red Wings and Panthers, but Montreal and Boston keep pace with the surging Sabres.     Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

For the first time in a very long time, the Buffalo Sabres are a better hockey team than the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Sabres have been getting great goaltending, scoring from their blueline, and a consistent effort from all four lines. Their results have followed suit. Meanwhile up in Toronto, the Leafs are giving up more goals than anyone, can't score on the powerplay, and are sorely missing Mitch Marner. What is wrong with Auston Matthews, who is under a point per game for the first time since his rookie season. Numbers back up that the Sabres are the superior team in almost all aspects. Plus, the Leafs will be without William Nylander and Chris Tanev, good news for the Sabres chances on Tuesday night.Plus, what both lineups look like tonight. And could the Sabres put Josh Norris on long term injured reserve in order to acquire another great player at the trade deadline? If they're ever going to do it, the Olympic break would be the time, as it's the last year NHL team's can use this trick to create cap space. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoTry Quo for free plus get 20% off your first 6 months when you go tohttp://Quo.com/lockedonnhlIndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

The Buffalo Sabres have not one hot goalie, not two hot goalies, but THREE hot goalies since their winning ways started in early December. Alex Lyon is now tied for the Sabres franchise record for wins in a row with nine, one away from having it all to himself after shutting out the New York Islanders. Numbers show that since the ten-game win streak began, Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen have been top-10 goalies in the NHL, while Colten Ellis has been a top-20 goalie. It's looking more and more like a three-headed monster that the Sabres will keep going the rest of the season. Going through the 5-0 win on Long Island showed more than just great goaltending, as the Jack Quinn - Ryan McLeod - Jason Zucker line were the heroes of the day. With the win, the standings now show a pack in the middle of the Atlantic. Four teams fighting for three spots. Buffalo, Montreal, Boston, and Florida.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoTry Quo for free plus get 20% off your first 6 months when you go tohttp://Quo.com/lockedonnhlIndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

The Buffalo Sabres had a massive game in the standings against the Canadiens, and they went into Montréal and grabbed two points. Jumping out to another hot start, featuring Jason Zucker, the kid line getting another goal, this time from Zach Benson, and a sixty minute effort from Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen got the job done. The win puts the Sabres within two points of Montréal for a top-three spot in the Atlantic Division. However, the win was another game where the Sabres got out to a multi goal lead, that they nearly blew. NEARLY. Once again, after a panicky second period, the Sabres locked it down in the third period, just long enough for Peyton Krebs to ice it with an empty netter. Sneaky Joe has a theory on why the Sabres keep letting teams back into games, and it starts with the Sabres' defensemen. Plus, a preview of Sabres vs. Islanders. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

The Buffalo Sabres and Josh Doan have agreed on a new seven year contract worth $6.95M per year! Doan has been one of the best surprises of the season, adding an offensive element to his incredible effort physically and defensively, for a terrific all around player. At just 23-years old, this feels like a great time to get a deal done. The trade looking back for Doan and Michael Kesselring for JJ Peterka is looking better and better for the Sabres. Will Doan keep up his goal scoring year to year?With Doan, where do the Sabres now stand with Alex Tuch, given that their cap situation is looking a little dicey for 2026-27 with very little space to sign Tuch, Zach Benson, and Kesselring. The Sabres will likely have to say goodbye to the likes of Jack Quinn and Jordan Greenway, at a minimum, to make room for Tuch.Also, a look at the matchup with the Montreal Canadiens, which is a massive game in the Atlantic Division standings. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

Lindy Ruff put together a kid line of Zach Benson - Noah Ostlund - Konsta Helenius for the last two games, and in Nashville that line went off in the first period. Two Ostlund goals and a three point effort from Helenius, including his first NHL goal, got the Sabres out to a big lead early that they needed having played the night before. Helenius showed off his amazing shot and the line showed they were the ones that were going to have the energy, despite playing back to back nights. Was the Sabres collapse defendable? Panic play in the second period almost saw a four goal lead become a one goal lead. Nashville did make it a one goal lead, but the Sabres survived, thanks go a very good night from Alex Lyon. However, it was another game where the goalie performed well, but gave up a soft goal to let the opponent back in the game.Plus, the standings are starting to look better and better for the Sabres with gaps opening between themselves and the Flyers, Capitals, and Devils. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

The Buffalo Sabres went down to Carolina looking for their first win their in a decade, and looked like they were going to pull it off, before Brandon Bussi had something to say about it. The Hurricanes' hot rookie goaltender stood on his head on several occasions to rob Tage Thompson and other Sabres' from at least two, if not three, sure thing goals. Not to mention the Hurricanes being allowed to tackle the Sabres for the entire 3rd period without a penalty and a horrible call on Owen Power for tripping that led to the game winning goal. With there being three losses in five games now, should we be nervous about the Sabres play? Joe believes close games against great teams should not be met with panic... yet. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

Buffalo Sabres fans couldn't have had a better night on 2005-06 Reunion Night, with a great ceremony before the game bringing back all the alumni of 20 years ago, and the team on the ice gave them a ton to cheer about afterwards. Tage Thompson was the catalyst for all of that, with a point on every one of the Sabres goals, including a hat-trick. Tage was on fire, scoring on almost every opportunity he had, setting up Alex Tuch for probably his nicest assist of the season, and icing the game with a massive empty netter to beat the Canadiens. With lots of Habs fans in attendance, it was an energized night between two teams that look like they're heading towards the playoffs, which is why the Sabres winning in regulation is so big.Plus, multi-point nights for Josh Doan and Noah Ostlund. What player in the league does Ostlund remind you of? Sneaky Joe goes with Dylan Larkin. And man... Colten Ellis. He's a wild man. Ellis gets another win, but gave fans a lot of anxiety along the way. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit. Just go to https://indeed.com/lockedonright now and support our show by saying you heard about Indeed on this podcast.

The Buffalo Sabres are hosting 05-06 reunion night celebrating what Sneaky Joe calls the most BELOVED team in Buffalo Sabres history. We head down memory lane remembering Brain Campbell's hit on RJ Umberger, Danny Briere's double OT winner vs Philadelphia, Tim Connolly's heroics against the Senators in Game 1, and plenty of other amazing memories. If this Sabres team could steal one player from that team, who should it be? Ryan Miller might end up being the most popular answer.Plus, the Sabres get a 5-2 win over the Flyers, despite only generating 14 shots on goal. Was it a great effort from the Sabres despite so few shots? A few hit posts and a low event game overall point to a good game, just a unique one. Mattias Samuelsson stays red-hot offensively and OH LOOK! The Sabres fixed the powerplay! Rasmus Dahlin leads the way with two goals on the man advantage. Finally, a preview of the matchup with the Montreal Canadiens, which is enormous in the standings. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Buffalo Sabres have a lot of things that are working right now. The one thing that is going HORRIBLY wrong is the powerplay. The Sabres powerplay has been at it's best this year when Zach Benson has been on the number-one unit. However, who's spot would Benson take with Josh Doan and Jason Zucker being two of their most reliable players on the man-advantage this year. Should Lindy Ruff consider moving Tage Thompson to a different spot or even off the number-one unit? Sneaky Joe likes the idea of moving Tage to the high-slot and finding a way to get Benson on the ice. If the answers aren't internal, will Jarmo Kekäläinen's first trade be for a powerplay specialist, the likes of Steven Stamkos?Plus, the Sabres played a playoff-type game with the Florida Panthers, and there were some good things to build off of. And a matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers is a chance to see four new lines! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit. Just go to https://indeed.com/lockedonright now and support our show by saying you heard about Indeed on this podcast.

The Buffalo Sabres are ahead in the Eastern Conference playoff race, sitting in the first Wild Card position, over their Monday opponent, the Florida Panthers. With all games this week being at home, the Sabres need big performances to build a lead over the likes of Florida, Washington, and to track down Montreal for the third spot in the Atlantic Divison.Sneaky Joe looks at the Panthers matchup, with Florida still missing Alek Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk, but now also their leading scorer Brad Marchand. This is the most beatable Panthers team the Sabres have seen in years. Especially with Sergei Bobrovsky struggling mightily this season. On the Sabres end it will be Colten Ellis in goal, who is coming off a great game against the Rangers. Also, why Joe likes Jason Zucker to score a goal on Monday night. And who we should be rooting for on the out of town scoreboard.  Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Buffalo Sabres have now won 13 of their last 14 games following their win against the Ducks. The building was packed, loud, and the Sabres gave the fans a lot to cheer about. Jack Quinn leads the way with two goals, the opening goal, and the game-winning goal. Sneaky Joe was impressed all the way around by the Sabres effort. Skating, hits, defense, fights, goals... but only for 55 minutes. The Sabres yet again, almost collapsed with three goals allowed in the final minutes. Lindy Ruff was clearly upset about the effort late in his postgame comments. Is the Sabres late game problem something that is going to stick with them and cost them games?The common thread in the last three games in third periods seems to be the Sabres backing off and not pressuring the way they do in the first two periods. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Mattias Samuelsson can't stop, won't stop. Against the Rangers, Samuelsson had another incredible game, shutting plays down defensively, setting up Josh Doan to open the scoring, and firing a laser shorthanded to close the game, getting the win for the Sabres. Samuelsson's season continues to be dumbfounding, with some stats showing him being one of the five most valuable players in the entire NHL. Should the Sabres consider throwing Samuelsson on the powerplay?Colten Ellis shows up for the first time in over a month with a great start, but yet again a Sabres goalie lets in a soft goal that let the opponent back in the game. Josh Doan and Ryan McLeod continue to contribute as well, opening and closing the goal scoring on the night. Where does the win push the Sabres to in the standings? Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Jarmo Kekäläinen's first monster move as GM of the Columbus Blue Jackets was to acquire Artemi Panarin in a trade. Will history repeat itself? There is reason to believe the New York Rangers would be open to moving their best player, who's contract expires at the end of the season. Could Jarmo and the Buffalo Sabres swoop in for Panarin? There are lots of things that make a trade difficult, including Panarin likely being a rental for the Sabres, his age, his salary, and a very high trade cost. Sneaky Joe presents pick + prospect trade ideas, but also the possibility of an Alex Tuch for Artemi Panarin swap. Even if it's only for three months, Panarin could be the key to ending the playoff drought, and even maybe having playoff success this season.Plus, what the Sabres have in front of them in a matchup at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers, who are without both Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox for this game. The Rangers do not have much else that should scare the Sabres without those two. However, Colten Ellis starting for the Sabres in goal presents an element of unknown to the matchup. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
