The Buffalo Sabres win streak is in danger against an elite Dallas Stars team
The Buffalo Sabres, without Alex Lyon due to injury, face an elite team in the Dallas Stars, as they look to tie a team record ten wins in a row. With Lyon out, the Sabres turn to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to carry the load in goal, against a backup goalie for Dallas in Casey DeSmith. Sneaky Joe breaks down the Stars, who are an elite powerplay team led by Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson that punish any team that takes penalties against them. And no matter if it’s Jake Oettinger or DeSmith, a team that always gets good goaltending. However, numbers show the Sabres could get the better of Dallas when the two teams are at even-strength.
Dallas’ lineup features top heavy talent like Mikko Rantanen, Robertson, and Miro Heiskanen, with veteran depth like Matt Duchene and Jamie Benn in their bottom-six. Can the Sabres match that depth? Plus, another sign that Jason Zucker could return to the lineup on a top line for this game. And what certain sites say about the Sabres playoff odds.

Lets go Sabres! Blasphemy wearing a TOR hat during a Sabres podcast tho
Not really, it's like Toronto Bill's fans. We don't have a professional baseball team
Go Sabres!!!!
I'm a few minutes behind the live feed, but I think Chayka has been a great addition to the broadcast. Coyotes should have hired her instead of little brother John all those years ago.
Also I don't have a problem with the Jays hat. It's way more un-Buffalonian to be a frontrunner Yankees fan (despite Jays' recent success). Let's go Mets!
F-it Joe, The Lord 🙏 can all wear their turtle 🐢 necks… But they can still envision the Dallas players all wearing turtle necks… And just lay hits all day with reckless abandonment… And when Rantanen is down on the ice looking up Malynsteyn seeing stars… Beck can say: 'You down with PhD's'… Let's go Lords 🙏 let's let show Dallas what having a PhD in ATTRITION hockey really means 👍 🏒 💯 ⚔️ ps UPL can wear his puffy turtle 🐢 neck… Cover more net 🥅
Joe, I never knew you hosted Locked on Sabes.. HUGE
If they lose, they lose. Its just a game
Play smart and be patient. Dallas will take advantage of mistakes. Should be good game. Don't play intimidated
I would put UPL in. He should be more than well rested. Put Ellis in when you get home against Columbus.
After all this time, is Levi still not ready?
Really? A foreign baseball team cap? Do you need to be reminded what team you’re podcasting for? Are you ever happy and excited for the Sabres (ya know, the team you’re SUPPOSED to be representing?) LOCKED ON, If you’re reading this, please consider a different -spelled B.E.T.T.E.R podcaster for the Sabres 🙏
