What is the issue between Ralph and Skinner? Unbelievable.
- mhp



Skinner is known throughout his career to have a good season followed by a bad season.

I was half expecting this honestly.

He lives in Florida, the gardener is without papers. The dishwasher down the street makes more hourly but hey, $20 bucks is $20 bucks......

Cuban illegals. Hey, if they can make it across that stretch of water without drowning, they deserve the opportunity to plant some begonias.

4 goals in 3 and a half minutes last night?

Swiss cheese Hutton.

I would waive him right now to terminate his contract.

I totally agree with this. There is just no excuse for him to be that Bad. I don't care if you have 6 AHL D-Men back there. He's supposed to be an NHL Goalie here...

Check out Ben Mathewson's twitter. There are some great vids of Botts up in the PB last night.

Good to know the GM' box is of top notch quality.
Looks like a garage in some Call Center in India, lol.

Ok you put Skinner on that line and now Olofsson isnt having the season he’s having.

Skinner is snakebitten in a bad way. Again look at his seasons past, he tends to do this.

It's also Jbotts fault too. He should have done whatever he needed to, to get a legit 2C this past offseason.

What was Botts thinking?

He can be both snakebitten and poorly used. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

To be fair, we have outsourced IT to India and their facility is top notch. You might be confused with the son's bedroom of that Nigerian prince who just needs you to cash a check.

Again he hasn’t been a consistent goal scorer from year to year.

There a pattern which means there’s a trend. He’s never had back to back 30 goal seasons.

Not sure why anyone thought it’d be any different?

Sure the coach has something to do with it but at some point you have to blame the player.

If the Sabres beat the season end somehow ...... I will magically erase that sens loss out of my memory. Because I thought we would win last night and lose vs the pens

The problem is that we never ever beat the pens and Crosby always gets Atleast 2 points.

Never in a million years did I think I’d utter these words but I miss Darcy and Ruff.

Not saying Darcy would’ve had all the answers but a center would’ve been brought in, in early Nov to try and rectify the issue.

They’re a tough team.

I’d have overplayed for Pageau.

He checks all the boxes.

Hell I’d have made a move for Ennis.......

I remember his solution in the lockout year was to count on Freakarenko and then when that failed, he brought Jochen back from Germany

Come to think of it, that's pretty similar to this year. Replace Freakorenko with Casey and Jochen with Lazar
