Huge Road Stretch For Sabres Could Determine Standings

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Chris Ostrander to discuss several Buffalo Sabres and Bills topics, including a four-game road trip this week for the Sabres that could go a long way in determining where they finish in the Eastern conference standings.

The Sabres have been the best team in the NHL over the past three-plus months, literally. They're best in the league in points, goals scored, goal differential, save percentage and percentage of time playing with a lead. It's seriously mind blowing. The guys talk about how this team has somehow been able to put together a prolonged stretch of Sabres hockey that has fans as excited about this team as they've been in at least the past 20 years.

Buffalo embarks on a four game western swing this week that could ultimately have serious ramifications on where they finish in the standings. The Sabres are (unofficially) locked into the playoff but with seven of their final 11 games at home, having a good road trip keeps them in serious play for winning the Atlantic division and perhaps even the Eastern conference.

Also, is Lindy Ruff looking like a lock to win the Jack Adams trophy for NHL Coach of the Year? That plus Chris has thoughts on the Bills offseason so far and much more. 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.
