This is exactly what I'm talking about. As if he somehow falls in the middle of that spectrum...Jack IS a Hart candidate, right now, by the true definition of the award.

Jack is 20th in the NHL in points per game. There's only 2 players as young or younger than him on that list. Two 1st overall picks, McDavid and Matthews.

When it comes to Jack's production, you are just wrong. The only way you are right, is if your expectations are wildly wrong.

How many Hart candidates do you think there are?

I'm just back home; I've missed most of the second.  The first?  WTF?  The Rags were cycling that puck all over the Sabres.  (I wonder which coach is responsible for that.)

Skinner just added one, which is nice.

Sabs looked pathetic in the first.

We didn’t draw a penalty.  We got lucky. Which is fine with me. 

True, poor word choice on my part. We were buzzing and maybe made them a bit hasty on the clear, but it wasn't drawn.   Eeek, bad Risto... drop to your team. And Skinner! Wooooooooot!

How many guys ahead of Jack are making less? Only wondering.

I'm not sure there's a player in this league MORE valuable, to his team, than Eichel is to the Sabres. Short of McDavid in Edmonton and potentially Gaudreau in Calgary.

So you overrate eichel as much as the other guy underrates him.

Do you think the Lightning suffer more without Kucherov, or the Sabres without Eichel?

Be honest.

Be honest.

You know we have data on the Sabres performance with Eichel out on long term injuries right?

and it’s not about how much a team suffers without a player, it’s about how much said player lifts them.

Ugh I find it so tough to root for a guy who does that.  C'mon, Skinner.  Play an honest game.

That's done all the time. You always try to draw the penalty. If they call it so be it.

This is two sides of the same coin. If fact it's saying the exact same thing dude.

We are talking the difference between a player being in the lineup, or not being in the lineup.

You can't even make sense of your own argument. I'm not clogging this thread up with this exchange anymore.

To me it looked like he thought the stick was going to hit him so he dodged it...but I’ve been know to be wrong....
