Habs and Hab Nots: Previewing the Sabres/Canaidens series with guest Paul Hamilton May 04, 2026

Show notes

The Sabres were able to finish the Boston Bruins in six games, and had the benefit of waiting while Montreal and Tampa Bay went seven games. The Canadiens edged the lightning 2-1 Sunday night, setting up the first meeting between Buffalo and Montreal in the postseason since back in 1998 when the Sabres swept them. This year, the regular season series was 2-2-0. Who has the edge in what should be a very tight postseason match-up? Paul Hamilton joined Adam and Sal for a series preview.

Sabres/Bruins head back to Boston for game six Apr 29, 2026

Show notes

It's well known in NHL playoff circles that the series clinching game is the hardest one to win. After a 14-year postseason drought, the Sabres found that out Tuesday night at KeyBank Center in Buffalo. David Pastrnak scored on a breakaway in overtime to lift the Bruins to a 2-1 win. The Sabres now lead the series 3-2 ahead of game six Friday night in Boston.

Bills Draft Recap: Will Beane's strength in value and numbers approach pay off? Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

The grades on the 2026 Bills draft range from a straight A to barely passing. As always, we won't know the true answer for a number of years, but if anything, Bills GM and President of Football Operations Brandon Beane and his staff were deliberate in their approach. He (we think wisely) traded out of the first round and addressed some key positions, along with a somewhat surprising emphasis on cornerback. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have a full review.

Frustrated with Bills approach? Why trading down made/makes sense Apr 24, 2026

Show notes

Thursday night was about what Bills GM/President of Football Operations Brandon Beane didn't do - that was make a first round pick. Instead, as we expected, he trade down three times and out of the first round, adding picks and no doubt aligning those picks to what the Bills have evaluated with players that match value. After trading his second round pick for receiver DJ Moore, he starts Friday night near the top of the second round at 35, and has added to the haul, giving him many options moving forward. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana share takes on why this made sense.

Somethin' Bruin: Keys to a Sabres rebound with guest Matt Fairburn of the Athletic Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

The complexion of the opening round series between the Bruins and Sabres has changed after Boston's strong response with a 4-2 win in game two. No miracle comeback for Buffalo as was the case in game one. The Bruins have gained the edge with their physical, slow it down style that has negated the Sabres advantage in speed. Add to that, Buffalo now faces serious questions in goal. Matt Fairburn is the Sabres beat reporter for The Athletic. He joined Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana as the series shifts to TD Garden tied 1-1.

Bills pre-draft six pack: Why Buffalo should trade down from 26 Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

Bills GM/President of Football Operations Brandon Beane made a point on Monday that so many of us have concluded about this year's draft. Without giving the actual number, he said that they are on the "low end" of where they typically are in terms of first round grades. That further supports the argument to try and trade down from the 26th pick. We think Beane will certainly try to do that if he can find a partner. Assuming he can't, Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana talk about six different areas of need for Buffalo and players they could conceivably take in that spot.
