The Sabre Report Podcast is a Buffalo Sabres podcast hosted by three diehard Sabres fans: Jonah Ahrens, Christian Kowalski, and JP Ahrens.
They bring you Buffalo Sabres news, analysis, reactions, commentary, and more, covering everything happening around the team on weekly basis.
Sabres pick up points without Rasmus Dahlin, Jack Quinn's career night, & Connor Hellebuyck rumors re-ignited | Episode 199
Episode 199: No Rasmus Dahlin? No problem for the Sabres.
Despite an injury to Rasmus Dahlin versus the Florida Panthers that kept him out of action the entire week, the Buffalo Sabres had an extremely positive week, going 2-0-2 and picking up six of eight points without their captain.
Owen Power & the defense core stepped up in a big way with Dahlin’s absence, and Jack Quinn had a career-best performance in a 5-4 OT win versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, things such as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and special teams performance are still a hot topic amongst fans.
AND Connor Hellebuyck trade rumors have been reignited with his suspension from the Winnipeg Jets ending this week, and with reports Buffalo and Winnipeg have reengaged in trade negotiations.
Tune in to see Jonah, Christian, and JP break all of this down, and more!
