It's a new week and that means there's a new Sabres defenseman injured, only this time it's Rasmus Dahlin and that's really no good. Lance and Joe talk about the Sabres test of mettle in the southeast that led to the Dahlin injury and how that thrusts Owen Power into the No. 1 role which will totally be fun to watch.

Another injury on defense raises the question: Should the Sabres add another NHL-caliber blue liner via trade? Is there one to even be had right now? Speaking of defending, teams are really starting to clue in on Tage Thompson now that he's scorching hot and that's really interesting.

Oh, right... Jack's back in Buffalo this week. Only this time it's the real Jack Eichel and not post-surgery recovery Jack like we saw here last season. Oh, and Vegas is off to a monster start because of him. Who's ready for the circus? 

Thanks for listening, we more than appreciate it.
