Falling out of the playoffs because we couldnt score
- RippedFuel

So, immediately after the streak? When? That's the most vague answer. Or do you really mean when Skinner went cold?

Edit: Skinner has more than half his goals(18) since the streak and they haven't won 2 games in a row.

Wrong. When the season was in balance, Eichel upped his game. 53 vanished.

And i havent bern drunk in 25 years.

After this discussion I need a drink or 200

Skinner is the purest goal scorer in the league, 9 million is a steal

I'm still waiting for examples of people, such as yourself, that said 7M was their high water mark.

Do you think this will take long? Got a couple things to do. I'll just come back later when you've had time to settle down and think.

I never said Skinner sucked....never once. All I said was when the going got tough, he took 12 games off. That's NOT a 9 million dollar player. "JB HAS TO SIGN HIM"....

he doesn't HAVE to.

Plenty of blame to go around....55, 6, 17, 21, 29, 40, 35.

But they aren't asking for 70 million dollars...the fact he quit at the most critical part of the season in concerning to say the least

You should quit life

Id say around the end of Feb, march 1st...we were still in a position to make the playoffs....in the mix....12 games later and its a lost cause

You'll do great in 4th grade.

During the stretch right after the streak where they went 6-13 Skinner had 11 goals. 11 goals in 19 games is, drumroll please... a 47 goal pace. So the wheels fell off the team and Skinner was still killing it.

Frankly, i couldn't care less about what youre "ok" with...
- RippedFuel

Frankly, I could care less about anything you have to say since your contradict yourself in every other post.

so how about them UB Bulls.......

The stretch after that when they went 5-8 Skinner had 6 goals. 6 goals in 13 games is still a 37, almost 38, goal pace. And that brings us to 2/15 when there wasn't a hope in hell of making the playoffs.

Interesting, I haven't played with it enough to verify that it works, but it looks as though you're wrong again.

Feb 28th: Sabres have 66 pts. They are 8 points out of a playoff spot with only 19games left to play.

We were already out of the playoffs barring a miracle. Want to try again?

Not to mention that this is when he nearly broke his leg, er, quit on the team

On 2/15 we absolutely were in a place to.make the playoffs....abbbbbsolutely

4 points out is "not a hope in hell"??

Ok...im done with you then...

Bingo!

That's my only complaint. He's a solid player for sure and anyone saying we're in better shape without him (this year) is crazy.

Just think it was the right long term move.

Maybe
But it sure stings right now when our biggest hole on the roster wouldn’t be an issue if we were able to work it all out & keep him

I'll give you one guess as to who had 2 goals on exactly 2/15 against the Rangers....

If they kept up their pace that would've been 93 best case scenario points. That's not enough.

They played on a 69 point pace from 11/29-2/15. In what world is that good enough, even with the 164 point pace over 10 games?
