On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by blogger and podcast Chris Ostrander to discuss a handful of Buffalo Sabres and Bills topics, including a few fixable but nonetheless late season issues creeping into the Sabres as they get ready to embark on a playoff run soon. Just saying the Sabres are readying to embark on a playoff run is amazing given where this team was at in early December not to mention the previous 14 seasons. They're not exactly "struggling" either as the season winds down but in the interest of staying objective, there's a handful of things going on that could be concerning. The guys discuss some, including the third line defense that seems significantly worse without Zach Metsa in the lineup, some leaky goaltending from Alex Lyon, a handful of offensive players struggling a little bit and penalty kill unit that's gotten destroyed two times in the past eight days. Also, Chris is asked which team is closer to winning a championship right now--the Sabres or Bills? Speaking of the Bills they're discussed too and Patrick explains why he's starting to very much get behind taking a wide receiver with their first round pick. That plus will Lindy Ruff stay on with the Sabres after this season and much more.
