Power Play Woes Plague Sabres Playoff Return

About this episode

The episode discusses the Sabres' ongoing power play issues during their playoff series against the Bruins.

Buffalo's power play has been an issue all season and it's been particularly awful in the month of April. The power play woes have continued into the playoffs and could derail Buffalo's efforts to take down the Bruins in round one. We discuss games one and two, what worked well for the Sabres in their thrilling game one victory and what didn't work as the Bruins returned the favor in game two. We spend time talking about the choice in goal for game three and what could spark the power play as the series continues. -- Gambling Problem?
