The Instigator Podcast 2.3 – Seeking Movement

On the night of the debate, Eric and I get heated on a few topics. Namely, the pending CBA, the lack of red and black and a few other topics during plus/minus.

The Instigator Podcast 2.2 – Locked Out

The lockout is indeed on. While the CBA arguments went beyond the September 15 deadline, regular season games have now been cancelled and this has become a very real thing. Eric and I sat down to discuss the lockout, solutions for it and a host of other topics. We tackle the Alumni Plaza and, of course, play a little plus/minus.

The Instigator Podcast 2.1 – Collective Bracing

Back for a new season, Eric and I talk a bit about how awesome home World Cup qualifying matches are (Eric just returned from Columbus), how terrible things are starting to look regarding the impending lockout and play a bit of plus/minus.

As always, catch me at @2ITB_Buffalo and Eric at @3rdManIn

The Instigator Podcast 1.18 – Featuring Die by the Blade

Eric and I were joined by Zach, from Die by the Blade to talk about the Sabres Alumni Golf Tournament, Shane Doan, the leadership void in the locker room and plus/minus.

Thanks again to Zach for coming on the show, he is the first official guest we have had on the Instigator and it was fun to have him in the conversation. You probably already read Die by the Blade, and if you don’t you should start doing so immediately.

The Instigator Podcast 1.17 – Waiting on Webster

Eric and I are back with another episode of The Instigator Podcast. We chat a little bit about the Webster Block, what could be next for the arena district and play plus/minus.

The Instigator Podcast 1.16 – New Developments

With free agency crawling along, Eric and I got together to talk about the first week, what the Sabres did and what they will may finish off with in free agency. We discuss the Derek Roy/Steve Ott trade and chat a bit about this week’s Development Camp.

The Instigator Podcast 1.15 – Feeling Drafts

Eric and I are back for another version of The Instigator Podcast. This time we devote our time to chatting about Buffalo’s return at the Draft over the weekend. We devote a good portion to the excitement and potential behind the drafting of Mikhail Grigorenko and Zemgus Girgensons along with exploring the depth obtained in rounds two through seven. Then, naturally, we play a little bit of plus/minus.

Feedback, questions and topics are welcome here at at 3rd Man In along with on the Twitterverse: @3rdManIn or @2ITB_Buffalo.

The Instigator Podcast 1.14 – Summit Hangover

Since there were many interesting reactions and opinions on what took place in the aftermath of last week’s blog summit, Eric and I tackle a few topics on the “obligations” of bloggers and what should be expected from those who reside in the basement.

We also run down a few points on the NHL awards which go down tomorrow night.

Feel free to leave comments and criticism here or on @3rdManIn or @2ITB_Buffalo.

The Instigator Podcast 1.13 – Basement Party

After taking in the third Sabres Blog Summit, Eric and I broke down a few of the finer points of the evening’s festivities. For the first time in a while we did not play plus/minus, so we will bring that back next time.

Editor note, the din you hear in the background are the soothing play-by-play tones of Pat Malacaro at the Bisons game.
