The topic of the day is Mikhail Grigorenko, what the Sabres should do and why. Beyond that, we have a solid version of Plus/Minus, talk Tyler Myers, faceoffs, The Bills Mafia and more.

Instigator Podcast #22: Back In Business (Jan 8, 2013)

You know, you figure since they decided to end the lockout, I figured it was time Chris Ostrander of Two In the Box and myself did another podcast.

In a brand new season premiere of the Instigator (new intro and everything!) we talk about the end of the lockout, where we go from here, the superpower that is USA Hockey, Canada being Canada, and we play Plus/Minus.

We take suggestions. Leave us a note here or on twitter, @3rdManIn or @2ITB_Buffalo.

Instigator Podcast #21: Seeking Movement (Oct 23, 2012)

Yes, the lockout is still on, and I did another podcast with Chris Ostrander of Two In the Box.

Chris and I remind ourselves that the Bills suck, we talk about the lockout more (in a hopeful way even) and where we’re going, Rochester’s game in Buffalo, the Alumni Plaza and more in Plus/Minus.

Instigator Podcast #20: Locked Out (Oct 5, 2012)

Sure the lockout is well underway, but we’re still recording whether they’re playing or not. Chris Ostrander of Two In the Box and yours truly have another edition of the “Instigator” for you.

Chris and I work out the issues with the lockout into an easily comprehensible concept, we play some Gaslight Anthem (shocker) and talk about the new Alumni Plaza at First Niagara Center. Plus, some Plus/Minus!

Instigator Podcast #19: Collective Bracing (Sep 13, 2012)

If you went to bed last night and wished for another “Instigator Podcast,” I’d like to inform you this is just a coincidence. Chris Ostrander of Two In the Box and myself got together to chat and recorded it.

We talk a little bit about my trip to Columbus, then get into exciting talk about the collective bargaining agreement. We wrap that up with some Plus/Minus, featuring some good NHL13 discussion as well as some Bills chatter.

Got comments? Upset about our sometimes-coarse language? Leave us a note here or on twitter, @3rdManIn or @2ITB_Buffalo.

Instigator Podcast #18 featuring guest Die By The Blade (Aug 28, 2012)

It finally happened. We had a guest on “The Instigator Podcast” like we always claimed we would. Chris Ostrander of Two In the Box and myself were joined by Zach Zielonka of Die By the Blade this week.

We start off with Zach talking a bit about covering the Sabres Alumni Golf Tournament, then we get into the Shane Doan offer, the CBA and then play Plus/Minus.

Instigator Podcast #17: Waiting On Webster (Aug 7, 2012)

After a brief hibernation, “The Instigator Podcast” is back, baby. Chris Ostrander of Two In the Box and yours truly always bring the heat, and this one is no different.

This one’s not all pucks and ice, as we delve into the Webster Block and the Sabres’ proposal for the site, as well as other arena district issues, and play a little Plus/Minus with more off-ice crap including some Bills talk for good measure. So listen to this.
