So.....skinner never plays in OT because? I'm losing faith in housley, thinking this team would be better with an experienced coach. How's Trotts doing in Long island?

He was on the ice when the Hurricane's scored in OT

I also notice the Mittelstadt peanut gallery has calmed down a bit after the guy had a legit NHL linemate to play with and PP time. Bash him all you want but at least give credit where it’s due.

Me too. No adjustments . Every team playes different and adjustments need to be made .

Mitts showed some great mitts on that play that ended up a goal.

Definitely agree the past couple of weeks. He's going through some growing pains for sure. Does he ever call a timeout to settle things down and talk to his team or rip them a new one? Does he even try to match lines? Sobotka out in OT against MIN? Skinner not playing in OT despite the fact he has 3 OT goals this year.

Guys...SKINNER PLAYED IN OT

He was on the ice when Carolina scored...

Ok, I was at the game, and turned on GR as I left in the parking garage (still in it)

Did anyone else hear Reinhart say "we need more from our goalies and we need it from the start of the game?"

When Skinner is on the ice in OT, someone is bound to score.

Eichel was off tonight. Wasn’t his night at all. At least I can admit when my fanboy has a bad night

The question I have for everyone is where we’re the boo birds when Skinner had 1 goal in 7 games before tonight ? Or when Reinhart has a bad game and I say something I got the rest of his cocachina gang shoving it down my throat how I’m a Reinahrt hater and he can do no wrong.
- Pegullaville

Eichel looked like poop in the biggest game of the season so far.
Everyone has a bad night or two so I wont go nutty on him.

Sam had some sweet-ass passes tonight for big, big goals in the biggest game of the season so far. He is at a 0.95 PPG pace...I'll take it.
Skinner had 2 monster goals in the biggest game of the season so far this year. He has what, 33 goals in 53 games, on pace for 45 - 50. I suppose he could score every game, but scoring G's at a 0.67 per game pace, I'll cut him some slack like I just gave Jack.

Secondary scoring, the D play and Goaltending are areas to be concerned with.
Not Jack, Sam nor Skinner.

I agree with this.

1 game, or even seven games, are different than 50.

Maybe I heard wrong. That's what I thought I heard

Phils POST GAME:

Q: Do you feel like this is the Defensive Group that's going to be able to take this team where it wants to go?

HOUSLEY: That's Jason's call. But we're going to look at it.

There's no way he said that

I wanted to hear this again before writing it. Sabres’ Sam Reinhart: “We can’t expect to win hockey games 6-5, 7-6. We need more from our goalies and we need it from the start of hockey games. It’s frustrating.”

Those three guys are the furthest issues on the team. I’m just frustrated when Eichel gets torched after one bad night, but like I said, Skinner gets one goal in 7 games and I don’t hear anything. If that was Eichel could you imagine what this board would be like ? If Reinhart has a bad game in the next week I’m better off not saying anything cause you’ll have his hockeybuzz entourage ready to pounce. Reinhart could not get a point in 6 straight and you’ll have 5 posters talking about his PPG and that his draft class was weak so he has a good excuse. It’s like people are rooting for Eichel to fail.

Sammy better apologize.

There's no need to throw people under the bus.

So many tap ins and cross goal-mouth feeds too. Blaming Ullmark for that is burtal

In other news the Blues are going to make the playoffs this year.
