  • Can This Podcast Change Your Team's Future?
    Feb 18 2026

    In December 2025, Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni sat down with one simple task: to use the ongoing struggles of the Buffalo Sabres to discuss the frustration of rooting for a team that starts with success before wasting away into mediocrity, usually under bad ownership.

Contact Steven today about dismissing your franchise, which will immediatley improve them. With special contributions from Victoria Zeller. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
