On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Chris Ostrander to discuss several Buffalo Sabres and Bills topics, including the Sabres being ready for a push to end their historic NHL playoff drought. The Sabres haven't made the NHL playoffs in 14 years. They're desperately trying to make that not reach 15 years. Buffalo returns to action on Wednesday night in New Jersey following the Olympic break and they do so with a five point advantage in the Eastern conference wild card race, with just two points between them and Montreal and Detroit in the Atlantic division. Nothing's been accomplished yet but opportunity definitely knocks. The guys discuss the Sabres performance through this point of the season and the dramatic turnaround that has rightfully has fans finally excited about this team again. They also discuss the lift that Josh Norris will give them being back in the lineup and hopefully Zach Benson not far behind. Also, is it a lock that Alex Tuch stays in Buffalo beyond the trade deadline March 6 with or without an extension? What move(s) should Buffalo make themselves before the deadline? On the football side it's NFL Combine week and the guys discuss it being a pretty big mystery on how the Bills may attack the offseason, while knowing that the defense is going to undergo quite the overhaul. That and plenty more with Chris Ostrander! Be sure to follow Chris on X at @2ITB_Buffalo and check out the Two in the Box blog in addition to the Instigator Podcast.
