Episode 198: The Buffalo Sabres' season has hit an early skid.

Despite a big comeback win versus the Minnesota Wild (highlighted by an outstanding Owen Power performance), the Sabres dropped two ugly losses at home against the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild that has people panicking.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is on the struggle bus, people are chanting Connor Hellebuyck’s name, Josh Norris is garnering interest for the wrong reasons, and key contributors are not scoring for the Sabres.

Tune in to see Jonah and JP try to talk Buffalo Sabres fans off of the metaphorical ledge!
