On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Steve Bermel to talk about the Buffalo Sabres being absolutely electric on the ice that has clearly resonated with fans as well as discussing if the Buffalo Bills should take a big swing at pending free agent wide receiver Alec Pierce.
The vibes were immaculate at the Key Bank Center in Buffalo the other night before the Sabres took on Vegas as Tage Thompson was honored by the organization for helping the United States win a gold medal. The crowd gave him a thunderous applause (as well as Jack Eichel) and the electricity carried over into the game, as Tage scored a goal and Buffalo would hold on to beat Vegas to win their fourth in a row since coming back from the Olympic break.
The Sabres aren’t slowing down and the league is noticing. More and more people are talking about the Sabres as not only a team poised to end their historic playoff drought but a team that can win multiple series in the playoffs. The guys talk about the team, the fans that have been yearning to have something to get behind again, trade rumors involving Buffalo and some prominent players around the league in advance of Friday’s deadline and more.
On the football side, it appears Pierce can test the open market if he chooses. The Bills certainly have limitations, at least that’s the way Brandon Beane portrays it again, but in football you can always take a big swing if you really want to. Should the Bills use that on Pierce—a guy who will surely get overpaid in the open market but still fits the Bills biggest offensive need like a glove? Also, it looks like the Bills are set to lose both David Edwards and Connor McGovern in free agency—how worried should we be about the offensive line? That and plenty more!
