The Suitcase & The Scribe – Ep. 3: The Surprising Buffalo Sabres, Tampa Vibes In Motor City And What’s Going On In Montréal?

Welcome back to The Suitcase & The Scribe with Mike McKenna and Scott Burnside! There was plenty to discuss on today’s show, with the NHL now in full swing across North America. So much in swing that Canadian and US teams can now actually play against each other.

One of the most surprising teams in the NHL is the undefeated Buffalo Sabres, who an ageless Craig Anderson is backstopping. Continuing in the surprise category, Mike and Scott dove into the Detroit Red Wings and how they are getting Tampa Bay vibes from the motor city. 

Of course, if you’re talking about surprises, disappointments come with that too; and the number team on that list right now are the Montreal Canadiens. The Chicago Blackhawks joined the Canadiens on the list, which leads to how long will Marc-Andre Fleury call Chicago home? 

Finally, Mike lets his feelings be known about the Evander Kane situation, and Scott expresses the bravery of the Hayes family to reveal the issues regarding Jimmy’s passing. 

You can hear all of that and more on episode three of The Suitcase & The Scribe.
