And? Pat Kane who is 3rd now also had a streak of 1 goal in 14 games this year. And also only 4 over 24. Goal scorers are streaky, even the best ones. Holy poop, how is this hard to comprehend?
- Wetbandit1

Pat Kane has 3 Stanley Cups.....and is going to the Hall of Fame....and has won an MVP...

When SKinner accomplishes even ONE of these things...we can compare those apples to apples...

Comparing Skinner to Kane...that's HILARIOUS....OMG....

Skinner, Pat Kane, Ovie….one of these things is not like the other....

FACT: a month ago he was second..
- RippedFuel

FACT: Even after a slump he is top10.

The ONE guy that gets paid for NOTHING except TO SCORE...he doesn't play defense, he doesn't hit....he doesn't kill penalties...Im not saying he SHOULD....and he hasn't ben asked to....the ONE guy..that gets paid a fortune JUST TO SCORE...and...who, ironically, is saying he WANTS EVEN MORE to just score...didn't score...

yep...I absolutely have a problem with a guy in that situation...(which , as described, is 100% accurate)
- RippedFuel

Where would the Sabres be without Skinners 37 goals?

Great.....So resign him 7m / 8yrs.

a nickel more...let him go be some other teams vanishing act....

Watch next year....."Jeff Skinner has 35 goals....for the 11th place Detroit Red Wings"
- RippedFuel

FACT: He will not sign for 7M anywhere.

Last place.

Great timing for that slump.....

But ...its clear youre a "hey....that's good enough" guy....

that's fine....youre entitled..

The Sabres were in a playoff spot....

The guy asking for the Brinks Truck to back up to his house, disappears for ~15 games...

The Sabres are no longer in the playoffs...

you wanna pay THAT GUY 9m??? You go right ahead....

Okposo scored big goals 5 years agol...lets give him a raise too...according to this thread...the goals Okposo scored 5 years ago are as valuable as Skinner ones in October right??? ALL GOALS COUNT THE SAME!!!!

yeah...thank god....whew....thank god he got us to 12th....

we were in 7th when he stopped doing his job...

FACT: He will not sign for 7M anywhere.
- RhinoFan

good...I hope he gets 15....somewhere else...

let someone else pay him not to do his job...

Great timing for that slump.....

But ...its clear youre a "hey....that's good enough" guy....

- RippedFuel

FACT: We were out of the playoff spot a month before this slump.

good...I hope he gets 15....somewhere else...

- RippedFuel

Why suggest a number you know isn't realistic?

FACT: Your arguments make no sense.

- RippedFuel

OK, you still not getting it. If Skinner did not score all the goals in the beginning of the year we are NOWHERE near the playoff race.

I hope he gets 7.1 from someone else...to not do his job...

FACT: We were out of the playoff spot a month before this slump.
- RhinoFan

So what youre saying is...once we fell out of the race its THEN ok that he just stopped doing his job???

But he didn't quit right??

I hope he gets 7.1 from someone else...to not do his job...
- RippedFuel

beginning of the year and be honest, hoe many goals are realistic for Skinner?

- RippedFuel

FACT: I said nothing of the sort. I pointed out that your opinion wasn't factual.

a $7.5M ryan o'reilly gets a pass for losing his love for the game but a soon to be $9M Skinner doesn't in your book?...personally, I never thought skinner "took 12 games off"...he was still buzzing, still creating opportunities but the puck just wasn't going in
- Michael Pachla

Not to mention the dude got hurt coincidentally around the time of his slump

OK, you still not getting it. If Skinner did not score all the goals in the beginning of the year we are NOWHERE near the playoff race.
- hehateme

and YOURE not getting it....

We are NOWHERE NEAR the playoff race NOW...because Skinner...STOPPED DOING HIS job...

your argument: when skinner was doing his job..we were RIGHT IN THE THICK OF THINGS....(correct)

my argument: "as soon as skinner STOPPED doing his job...we fell out of the race...(also correct)

It seems no one gets your opinions, but you.

Perhaps you should think deeply about that FACT.

Kane won cups before, therefore is impervious to quitting in the future

Are those Cups worth the same as this year's Cup though?

Its like talk radio...the bigmouth angry people are the most likely to call...

the people that agree....don't bother

Are those Cups worth the same as this year's Cup though?
- RhinoFan

Hed still be worshipped in that town...
