this is the best podcast about the sabres. these guys are down to earth and i really appreciate their insights. keep up the great work
No wonder spittin chiclets gets all the listens
“Goat rodeo” is one of the fine phrases I have learned from the podcasters with the most well kept junk in all of podcasting. Pragmatic and intelligent Chris and Tyler set a high bar for Sabres podcasters and consistently put out great content.
I’m a Sabres fan from the Uk & out of all the sabres related podcasts this is by far my favourite. The presenters are clearly knowledgeable fans who’ve taught me a lot about the game, their analysis of the Sabres ongoing woes are more informed than those currently running the franchise & the Sabres could do with subscribing to finally fix the myriad of problems!

This mix likely appeals to diehard Sabres fans a... more
