A Sabres Mailbag to Distract from the Cup Finals
While the Cup Final isn't one that many fans in Buffalo will be excited about, this mailbag episode offers insight on a pile of Sabres-related topics. Along the way, we run through how the Sabres might replace Alex Tuch, what areas of the roster should be targeted for improvement and if the Sabres would be wise to keep the likes of Konsta Helenius and Noah Ostlund in-house, or to use one for a significant upgrade.

The Bill Comes Due for the Sabres in Game Seven
Alex Newhook, who shot the lights out all series, ended Buffalo's season on a knuckle ball from the left circle. The Sabres charged hard in game seven, rallying from two goals down and dominating puck possession. Jakub Dobes was too good in game seven, holding Montreal above water until they could find the winner. We run through the series and game seven, highlighting where the Sabres succeeded and where they fell short, while also looking back on a memorable season that reinvigorated the city and fanbase.

Power Play Woes Plague Sabres Playoff Return
Buffalo's power play has been an issue all season and it's been particularly awful in the month of April. The power play woes have continued into the playoffs and could derail Buffalo's efforts to take down the Bruins in round one. We discuss games one and two, what worked well for the Sabres in their thrilling game one victory and what didn't work as the Bruins returned the favor in game two. We spend time talking about the choice in goal for game three and what could spark the power play as the series continues. -- Gambling Problem?
