    No matter what I am listening to, I immediately switch to After the Whistle when it gets released. These guys don’t hold back. Petey is fantastic and eventually you will learn to love Craig Rivet! Keep it going boys!

  • Top Shelf Analysis of the Sabres

    I have been a regular listener for a few years and I feel that, as two ex-players, you are able to provide a deeper level of analysis of the Sabres players that you can’t find anywhere else.

    I also love the fact that you don’t follow a format or structure, which affords you the luxury of talking about whomever you want and for any length of time.

    I have learned so much about the players and their strengths/weaknesses from you both. I also appreciate how you provide opinion as well as analyti... more

    This is the best we can do for the Sabres? Too short a pod to even delve into anything seriously. The best part was Vanek as a guest and even he doesn’t want to be on it anymore. Horrible takes on just about anything (mostly from Peters, Craig was actually a legit player). Annoying to listen to them and how obviously MAGA the show is when all we want is intelligible hockey takes. Don’t bother with this one so many better pods out there. If I could give less than 1 star I would.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 823 "With Mike Harrington"
Q: Are we watching Colton Ellis play himself into a bigger role on this team?
Harrington says Ellis has improved since last season, is earning confidence from the team, and has become a legitimate NHL goaltending option. He sees a possible future in which Ellis is one of the Sabres' two goalies, depending on Alex Lyon's return and the team's evaluation of its goaltenders.
Episode 823 "With Mike Harrington"
Q: Is there a concern right now about players like Josh Doan, Josh Norris, and Ryan McLeod struggling?
Harrington says Norris and McLeod are producing too little, Doan is not playing like he did last year, and several players appear short on confidence. He places responsibility primarily on underperforming players while noting that Zach Benson contributes in other ways despite limited goals.
Episode 733 "ALL THEY DO IS WIN"
Q: Are the Sabres going to make the playoffs?
There is optimism about the Sabres making the playoffs due to their recent performance, but one host expresses caution from past disappointments.
Episode 719 "JARMO: GAME 1"
Q: Is Lindy Ruff the coach of the Buffalo Sabres for the 2026-2017 team?
No, but he could be up top in management.
Episode 714 "ALL WHEEL DRIVE VAN" with Thomas Vanek
Q: How do you see the impact of veterans on young players in the NHL?
Veterans play a crucial role in mentoring young players, helping to develop a positive team culture and providing guidance during games.
