“Top-drawer podcast. Rivet and Peters are both great, with long-term association with the Sabres. There is a true vested interest from both of them. Their bantering often leads to great humor, and their knowledge of the game and the league, along with the Amerks and junior leagues, is impressive.
Their guests are excellent, but could be fine-tuned:
Thomas Vanik needs to be on more often, even though he is on a lot. His insight and League knowledge is superb. He knows a great deal about college hockey, too. He is funny and his laugh is infectious. More Vanik!
Less Jeremy Roenick. I know the Rivet connection, and I admit JR has a lot of knowledge, plus has HOF numbers, but—-his once a week spot is too much.
HINT to Andrew and Craig—Buffalo Sabres a 50+ year history and have many players that are loved by the public.
Where are Playfair, Seiling, Andreychuk, Perreault, LaFontaine, Ray Sheppard, Dixon Ward, Sauve, Edwards, Bowman, Ted Nolan, John Tucker, Craig Ramsay, Mike Ramsey, Rob McClanahan, Turgeon, Puppa, Housley, on and on. Heck, even Don Cherry—he talks about Sabres players or teams quite often on his podcast.
You could hear a ton of great stories, from players that were on VERY GOOD Sabres teams through the years and I’m sure you could book some each month, and have repeat guests, too.
The Sabres, until the past 10 or so years, used to have a top 6 or seven career winning percentage. We have a long history—bring some of them back! The small nucleus of you current hosts and guests have loads of stories—imagine if you brought more Sabres connections into the mix.
Still, great podcast, 5 stars.
Andrew, Sanborn, NY.”
