Lose for LaFreniere.

Also, imagine if the opponent had to focus any energy or concern at all about anyone other then Jack Eichel

There's no stopping your crusade. Kudos.

It looks exactly the same because no one should care at all if he gets gimme PP points. He’s once again doing exactly what he’s great at. Scoring goals and producing chances and also drawing a ton of penalties

So are you back on the “he’s not that good train”?

So when he inevitably scores a bunch of goals again are you going to back track for the 10th time about how you’re “just criticizing the back end of the deal”?

It’s really hard to keep up

He was overpaid the second he signed that deal, it will just progressively get worse.

Once again we have a $9M player on pace for 47 points and all is well.

6 points in last 15 games is swell.

Nothing to see here move along.

Ah, don’t worry. By the time this team is ready to compete for the playoffs, that contract will have expired.

Be derrière for LaFreniere?

Doesn't matter what anyone's opinion is of him or what his comments supposedly "tell" you.
You can claim he sounds "scared" and "lost", but it doesn't really matter. If it makes you feel better about your opinion of him to say these things, then have at it.

However, the only opinion that matters is Pegula's. He'll either go with him again next year or he'll fire him.

That interview was embarrassing

On a more pleasant note, happy Thanksgiving e'rbody

Also, imagine if the opponent had to focus any energy or concern at all about the other 2 forwards on the ice besides Skinner. Would he have more time and space to have an even better opening? I guess that doesn't matter. Hey Jeff: just make me a bicycle clown!
- kingcong39

Maybe he does get more chances, but he still had 4 good chances and didn't bury them. Yes he should play with Eichel, but jesus he still getting chance's with the players he's playing with, and not taking advantage. Goal scorer's are streaky, they all have droughts at times, yes he would have more chances to score with Eichel, but no matter what bury the chances you have because he is getting them.

Third place is the worst.

1050’s interview with Dubas is a real interview.

WGR is bottom of the barrel

Mitts is on pace for half of that. He seems to be regressing badly.
- PrinceChill

I'm not sure I saw any of Mitts progress

He should have played with Johansson last night. It shouldn't even be a debate.

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

It sucks all the time

Rumor has it ..... the Sabres fax machine is broken. It’s jammed with drurys contract extension stuck in it. So no trades can be made

Draisaitl plays with McDavid maybe they should put him on the wing with Sheahan and Josh Archibald for the sake of balance

Literally no one on the planet disagreed with this dude. You have nothing to prove.

We ALL agree he’s an 7-8 mil player.

However very few share the opinion he isn’t very good.

The Larsson line was actually dangerous

14 scoring chances for 6 against while Skinner was on the ice

I rather overpay skinner / 40 goal scorer by 1 million than overpay Girgs Larry. Okposo Sobotka or any 4th liner we have.

Overpay your good player ...... don’t overpay your average to bad players. Same goes with trades

Seriously it’s getting moronic.

You want 2-3 Sheary’s?

How many UFA’s wanna come here?

He should have played with Johansson last night. It shouldn't even be a debate.
- kingcong39

Again I agree, but he still getting chance's to score, and he isn't doing that right now.

And Eichel is playing with Olofsson and the kid is producing, so what's your point. Skinner is paid to score goals, should he be playing with Eichel, YES, but he's not and with the players he is playing with he still is getting chance's and not burying them.

Olofsson has 3 goals at EV Skinner has 9

The only thing we are asking is for Skinner to not be stuck with a black hole of offense like Larsson. It should be an easy decision to have him play with Johansson, as they produced well before Johansson got hurt, and the 2 of them might get Casey going.

And Eichel is playing with Olofsson and the kid is producing, so what's your point. Skinner is paid to score goals, should he be playing with Eichel, YES, but he's not and with the players he is playing with he still is getting chance's and not burying them.
- Buff36

Why do you keep saying this? All people said about last night is Skinner should have been on the Johansson - Mittelstadt line instead of having Larsson be his center. How can that be an arguable point?

Olofsson has 3 goals at EV Skinner has 9
- mattmoulson

I know it’s a crazy concept to understand but did you know that Shorthanded goals and Power play goals count the same as Even strength goals ?

Third place is the worst.
