On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel for plenty of live reaction just moments after the Buffalo Sabres blew an opportunity to clinch their playoff series against Boston on home ice, losing to the Bruins 2-1 in game five. The Sabres scored a power play goal (wow!!!) less than four minutes into the game but couldn't get a puck past Jeremy Swayman the rest of the night. The guys talk about an offense that went stagnant for a lot of reasons, ranging from Tage Thompson having a bad game to the Ryan McLeod line struggling and perhaps the most concerning thing to come from this game, a Noah Ostlund ankle injury that could result in the talented rookie being done for the playoffs. This means a returning Josh Norris is really going to have to step up for Buffalo going forward. Despite not getting it done, Steve tells us why he's still confident the Sabres will advance, and thinks Lindy Ruff will go back to Alex Lyon between the pipes in game six in Boston on Friday night. They also spend time getting Steve's thoughts on the Buffalo Bills draft selections, the Buffalo Bandits seeing their run of three consecutive NLL championships officially come to an end and much more.
