Yet our $10M Center produces with everyone he plays with. Reinhart is on pace for a career year, Olofsson has points in 9 of his last 11.

What’s Jack’s excuse ? Olofsson was a black hole for the first 20 games and Eichel was still producing over a PPG clip.
- Pegullaville

you do not play Skinner with Larsson or EROD, only in Buffalo do you that and then justify it.

I thought Housley was lost, I'm ready for Lindy to come back.
- SABRES 89

Looks like the whole team is lost, new coaches, new GM'S, new systems every other year. I don't know if who we have building and coaching this team is right, but I am gonna give Botts and Krueger some time to finish this.

37 invisible again, how about a seat the press box for him to. Who hit the net less 37 or zhitnik

Listen to that Botterill interview and tell me he isn't utterly lost. My god, he's clearly in over his head

You were at the game tonight.

Were you impressed with sam? My buddy thought he had a good game?

Why wasn't skinner out in ot?
- Boss34

Sam almost handed the Flames the game in the third period coughing it up right in front of me in our own zone but overall he was fine.

Joker was a steal, just the little plays he makes that the causal fan doesn’t notice were remarkable. We were exiting the zone with ease when he was on the ice.

I also really liked Asplund tonight he looked like he was everywhere. Eichel was great again, Skinner had his chances.

Mojo looked like he missed the last 7 games. Mitts put one on a platter for him right in front of the net and he held it for too long.

Watching Risto and McCabe try to exit the zone looked just as painful 2 rows away from the glass as it does on the TV back at home.

Ullmark was very good but made two crucial mistakes. The first goal needs to be stopped and he shouldn’t of tried to be a hero in OT.

Looks like the whole team is lost, new coaches, new GM'S, new systems every other year. I don't know if who we have building and coaching this team is right, but I am gonna give Botts and Krueger some time to finish this.

Pegula will look even more like a fool if he makes a change again, so that won't happen. He needs a VP of hockey ops but he won't listen. They screwed that all up with LaFontaine.

Everyone will hear what they want to hear. Some will hear incompetence. Some, sheer brilliance.

You know Boss it's funny you say that, my uncle's friend with the Sabres said that he's sees all the fans after each game sometime and the look on there face is crazy. Some look completely lost and others are like, oh well we have seen this year after year we are use to it. On to the next game and beer.
- SABRES 89

We deserve better.

Have a great Thanksgiving

- SABRES 89

Only in Buffalo we say a superstar is “underachieving” and make excuses for the guy with 6 points in his last 15 games.

He said pretty much nothing. I don’t get it?

Thanks, you also.

He's talking about dealing with people he can trust and not being taken advantage of as a "new" GM. 14 month trade timeframes. Not having answers for the Minnesota game. There is only one way to read that: he is completely lost

That situation was even worse then people think.

14 months.................. you can't rush perfection. It's been 50 goddamn years already.

I get it your another Skinner hater.

- jcragcrumple

No offense but he could say we sucked, I’m making a trade tomorrow and your reaction would be the same

I've said it before, I have no faith in either one of these goalies we have.

He said pretty much nothing. I don’t get it?
- sbroads24

"I dont have an answer for you what happened in the Minnesota game"

Great.

"There's some general managers you feel more of a trust factor with and that's where as a younger general manager in this league I'm trying to build those relationships"

So he knows they're trying to take advantage of him. He's playing the game scared

That situation was even worse then people think.
- SABRES 89

Well all we can do is be patient, it sucks sometimes

No offense but he could say we sucked, I’m making a trade tomorrow and your reaction would be the same
- sbroads24

Can you honestly tell me you listened to that interview and came away reassured with him being at the helm? He's out of answers and he's scared

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving

- jcragcrumple

I took nothing away from it as should 99% of interviews with GM’s.

He also said he’s actively trying to improve the forwards and hinted that LTIR might be a reason why he can’t make a move.

14 months.................. you can't rush perfection. It's been 50 goddamn years already.
- SABRES 89

Bragging about taking 14 months to complete a trade was a little odd. But on the bright side, the 50th sweaters are selling well.

I guess we should give Olofsson $9M a year too cause he can also score goals playing with Jack Eichel.

Notice how we don’t have to say pair our $10M Center with the $9M winger ? Idc who the frank Skinner’s Center is when you are making that much money you need to produce.
- Pegullaville

This - as I stated previously Olofson is a better player and more productive for the team with Jack in his first year. Skinner, the 9 mil player who has played with misfit centers and produced will have less drop off or should have less than Olofson and this makes the team better. Why a 9 million dollar player gets a pass and thinks he should get his hands held by Jack is beyond me. 9 MILLION DOLLAR PLAYERS SHOULD LEAD THE PLAY.
