Yep. It’s often overlooked by the Reinhart haters. Or even the Reinhart “Luke warm” fans.

I'm a "Luke ambient air temp" fan. He's not consistent enough to play on the 1st line. But, If Buffalo can ever get a 2nd line center worth a dam, he'll slot in nicely there.

Skinner is frustrated. I’d try harder to find him a line mate that works.

Has Dermott been back since the Okposo hit?  That was nasty.

Expand  

Yeah then Skinner hit him

No. A team won’t. Again ... not with his cap hit, and Injury history. They can get younger. Better, healthier players. And often do. He would be a black hole in the playoffs anyway.

I am not going to argue with a brick wall.  We shall wait and see.

RK has to find a way to get Skinner going. Sheary and ERod are not that way. Seems like he’s trying to get those two to contribute through Skinner. Sometimes you gotta accept reality and cut your losses. 
 

Skinner MOJO Vesey/Asplund

[Thorner]

THAT’s a missed hook 

[MODO Hockey]

WHY is erod still in this game, whyyyyyy. God help us

[Cascade Youth]

It’s not that I blame the goalies - but it would be nice if they kept us in games more often.

I would take a bag of pucks and eat half the contract.  He is a shadow of his former self.

The GLO Line has been more than serviceable.  Our forward problems are not due to ant of these guys. 

Get a real 2C and a power forward to fix this.  

[Thorner]

WOW that was a bad miss 

[Nitro60]

A solid pass to Eichel open in the slot could have been in the net.

[Slack_in_MA]

Fire at will!

Punch that is going to be addressed in the draft....unfortunately.

It's Buffalo....so it's more like "Pass at will!"

He is right.  Okposso has no trade value.  Less than Bogo and Sobotka.  His contract plus a concussion injury.

Good. Agree I won’t argue with one either. 

[bunomatic]

Running out of time . Lets do this .

[Thorner]

Montour brutal game 

[Nitro60]

Sabres have to get scoring from the other three lines.  This team is hard pressed to score.

Yup.  Cozens may  be the 2C or the power forward.  But it will take time.  

[jad1]

Nice back check by 'Bag of Pucks' Okposo

I'd like to believe this, but I smell another Swedish RH defenseman and smallish left winger next June.

Exactly. Like 3-4 years at a minimum.
