On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has plenty of Buffalo Sabres takes from the Boston first round series in addition to three keys he sees to the Sabres beating Montreal in the upcoming Eastern Conference semifinals.

Obviously it's an electric time for Sabres fans, whether you're a diehard who's suffered through the years of being inept or new on the scene freshly on the bandwagon. Patrick has plenty to say about that and about this team after it closed out Boston in six games. Among things discussed is loving Zach Benson because he's yours even though everyone else thinks of him along the same lines Buffalo fans think of Brad Marchand.

Also, Boston was competitive with Buffalo but Patrick thinks the Bruins knew at the end of the day they were in over their heads against the Sabres, something Montreal is surely not feeling after getting past Tampa.

Will this Sabres postseason run strengthen or weaken the chances Alex Tuch re-signs with the team? Patrick says that the emergence of another player could make a Tuch return complicated. That plus plenty of other Sabres thoughts, the three things that must happen to defeat the Canadians in this upcoming series and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Sabres and fan topics, including an examination of if the fever pitch behavior of fans lately is a sign of a great sports town or one that's kinda jumping on the bandwagon.

Good luck going to a bar or restaurant for a Sabres playoff game without it being packed, or not having to compete at Dicks's Sporting Goods or other retail stores where Sabres merch is flying off the shelves. Don't get us wrong---this is all amazing not to mention long overdue, but does it say anything negative about the fan base along the way? To be fair, getting a Sabres ticket in March or April in recent years in the secondary market has been cheaper than going to the movies. The guys attempt to have a nuanced discussion without pissing off fans while doing so, very unlikely of course.

Also, Buffalo fans are letting Boston sports fans absolutely have it recently on Twitter following the Sabres dismantling of the Bruins in the first round of the playoffs, plus several other Boston teams struggling this year. Is it all in good fun or a petty look? Maybe, it's both.

Other topics discussed include trying to figure out which one player not named Jack Eichel or Sam Reinhart from the Sabres drought era teams they wish could be on the current playoff roster. That plus did Joe enjoy watching "The Pitt" based on Patrick's recommendation and much more.

On this milestone episode No. 1300 of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Rumblings team site producer Chris Trapasso to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including a look at the personnel changes we can expect on the 2026 Bills defense and what Chris thought of Buffalo's recent draft class haul.

Chris has been around the NFL media in various capacities for a number of years and just this past week signed on to lead SB Nation's Buffalo Bills section, Buffalo Rumblings. Chris discusses the process of getting the job and how he plans on bringing his creativity and connections to help further along what's been a very good resource of news and entertainment for Bills fans.

One of the biggest offseason stories for the Bills, of course was the firing of head coach Sean McDermott and promotion of Joe Brady. One of the most important moves Brady made was hiring Jim Leonhard as his defensive coordinator. Chris reflects back a few months on Brady's decision and how he feels about the various personnel pieces Buffalo has added to the defense and how he expects these guys to contribute.

Obviously that includes a recent draft class that saw the first two and six of the first eight Bills selections come on the defensive side of the ball. Chris talks about why he liked Kalem Elarms-Orr as much as he did before the draft, some of the things he's looking forward to shaking out now that he's covering the team full-time and plenty more.

Make sure to follow Chris on Twitter @ChrisTrapasso. You can also check out Buffalo Rumblings to stay updated with Trapasso and his staffs excellent work there.
