    Sabres Fact Or Fiction, Plus Interesting Bills Storylines

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss several Buffalo Sabres topics, fact or fiction style in addition to some key Buffalo Bills observations. Recently we did a Bills version of "Fact or Fiction" with Matt Warren of SB Nation. This time we do it with the Sabres with PK determining what will become fact or fiction based on some Sabres statements Patrick throws at him, including Alex Tuch being back, Bo Byram getting extended, Zach Benson signing a long term deal, a trade partner for Jordan Greenway and the same three Sabres goalies back for next season. On the Bills side, Patrick discusses amazement at how many key Bills veterans from last year's team are still looking for jobs this late in the offseason. What does that tell you about the 2025 Bills? Also, Keon Coleman may truly have a legit opportunity to become the type of player the organization has hoped he was going to be. That, plus the fascinating mystery of what Jim Leonhard's defense will look like, who may most thrive in it and much more.

    Fascinating Buffalo Sports Offseason Debates Happening

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over three Buffalo sports discussions/debates going on that he finds fascinating and can make a fair case for either side of the coin. Will Alex Tuch re-sign with the Sabres? That is a key, probably the key offseason storyline with the Sabres as Tuch's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. There's plenty of reason to very much want Tuch back but also financial reasons to move on from him. Where does Patrick fall on this? Sticking with the Sabres, Patrick put up a poll involving a trade scenario for St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas and was shocked at the results. Are fans overvaluing young prospects a little too much? Moving over to the Bills, Patrick's pretty fascinated with not knowing what the new Jim Leonhard defense is going to actually look like and which Bills veteran defenders will be the best fits for it. He explains why it will actually make training camp and possibly even the preseason more must-see than normal. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

    How Improved Are The Buffalo Bills On Paper?

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including taking a look at how much better, if at all the Buffalo Bills look on paper in 2026 compared to last year. Changes came big for the Bills after another playoff run that fell short of their goal of reaching a Super Bowl. Of course, the biggest change wasn't among the players but at head coach, as Sean McDermott got fired and Joe Brady promoted. Do the guys think that's an upgrade? It sure seems on paper the Bills improved with proven additions like DJ Moore, CJ Gardner Johnson and Bradley Chubb into the fold. They are, but there's other areas of the team where saying they improved isn't so cut and dry, such as offensive line and linebacker, not to mention a fair debate at cornerback. Also, Patrick presents Joe with four former Bills and asks which one he'd most like to have if that player could be back in his prime? That plus topics Joe brings up from his Substack column and much more. Make sure to check outJoe From Queen’s Substack page for his free weekly columns.

    What A Goalie Trade Market May Look Like For The Sabres

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by podcaster and blogger Chris Ostrander to discuss a handful of Buffalo Sabres season ending topics, including taking a look at what a potential goaltender trade market should look like should Jarmo Kekäläinen decide to try and swing a deal. Obviously this was a breakthrough season for the Sabres and the team looks poised to have a sustainable run at the Eastern conference in the coming years. However, the most uncertain aspect of the team arguably is goaltender despite having three guys all under contracts for next year: UPL, Alex Lyon and Colton Ellis in addition to Devon Levi in Rochester. Chris takes a look at a handful of goalies around the league at least worth discussing in some capacity for trades should their respective teams find a Buffalo package that would make it worth moving on from. They also discuss the Alex Tuch conundrum. Despite the woeful performance against Montreal Tuch's still a valued commodity and the Sabres will and should want him back. But at what price? Chris has thoughts on what he thinks Buffalo should do and where they should set the hard line at. The guys also discuss bonus bright spots that emerged from the Buffalo playoff run that were at least somewhat unexpected with Noah Ostlund and Konsta Helenius.  That plus what current Sabres could carry some value in the trade market and much more.

    Good, Bad & Ugly Of The Sabres Playoff Run

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over plenty of the good, bad and ugly from the Buffalo Sabres crushing game seven loss to Montreal, the series as a whole and entire Buffalo playoff run. Despite the heartbreaking loss that leaves Buffalo fans wondering if they could've went on to beat Carolina and get to the Stanley Cup, there's plenty of positives to take away. Patrick highlights how the Montreal series and entire playoffs felt like a coming out party for emerging stars like Zach Benson, Josh Doan and Owen Power. Also, Rasmus Dahlin showed why he's a Norris Trophy finalist. On the other side, you can't help but be convinced the Sabres probably win the Montreal series easily if they got more from Tage Thompson and literally anything from Alex Tuch. Plus, why did the Sabres struggle so bad at home against Montreal and Boston? That plus keeping the Sabres season in perspective, expectations grow for the future now and much more.

    Sabres Stars Fall Short As Season Ends In OT (LIVE Reaction)

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Steve Bermel immediately after the conclusion of the Buffalo Sabres losing in overtime in game seven against the Montreal Canadiens, 3-2 to be eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Sabres fell into a 2-0 hole in the first period before dominating the next two periods to tie the game with many chances to win. However, as was all the home games this series they couldn't get anything from Tage Thompson or Alex Tuch and it hurt them again. The guys talk about that, the Sabres finishing the playoffs just 2-5 at home, UPL playing strong but letting in a goal you gotta make a save on and tons more. They also talk about what the future may hold for the Sabres. Did this series close the door on Tuch getting a big contract to stay in Buffalo? Will goaltending be their top offseason priority? That and much more is discussed. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

    What We've Been Most Wrong About With Buffalo Sports

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss a variety of topics, including some of things they've historically been most wrong about when it comes to Buffalo sports. Buffalo Sabres goaltender Alex Lyon simply wasn't up for the task this past Saturday night, giving up three goals on literally three shots as the Sabres fell into a 3-1 hole at Montreal with the season on the brink. Between Lyon getting yanked, UPL being a disaster the game before, Sabres star players struggling and the game being played in front of a frenzied Montreal crowd that could taste blood, Patrick absolutely declared to anyone within shouting distance of him that the Sabres season was over. Obviously, he was dead wrong as the Sabres stormed back with SEVEN unanswered goals to win 8-3 and set up a game seven. It got Patrick thinking about some of the things he or we've all been most wrong about when it comes to Buffalo sports. Among the topics discussed with Joe is the disapproval of Josh Allen being selected ahead of Josh Rosen for the Bills in 2018, thinking Rex Ryan was going to make the Bills Super Bowl contenders, tanking for McEichel (controversial subject) and of course, thinking the Bills two year Super Bowl run ended when they fell down to Houston, 35-3 in the playoffs. Of course, there's plenty of talks about the Sabres storming back to force Monday night's game seven and what they think of Buffalo's chances. That plus their future looks bright, the Bills radio broadcasts are going to 97 Rock and plenty more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.
