Straight Up Sabres

On today's episode recorded before the Caps game, we return for our first show of 2025 discussing the Sabres' play over the past two weeks, why we feel more of the blame should be attributed to Lindy compared to earlier in the year, Cozens and Quinn's continued disappointing play, the team remaining at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and more.

Welcome to Straight Up Sabres on The Hockey Podcast Network & The Charging Buffalo!

On today's episode, we team up with Chris and Tyler from the Two in the Box podcast for the first of a four-part mini series exploring the best Sabres team of all time. We put together a six team bracket of the best Sabres teams of all time, with the top two teams (in our opinion) getting a first round bye. Episode 1 (today's episode) covers the first round matchup between the 1979-80 Sabres, who lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders in the Conference Finals, and the 1992-93 Sabres who lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens.
