Stoner Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Skinner. Is he a different player on the top line? Nice unforced turnover in the offensive zone. Edited February 17, 2021 by PASabreFan Quote

Thorner Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) That's my issue with Jack. Good microcosm. Drives the middle with speed, and then promptly dishes to Skinner outside on the left when the isles were giving Jack space. They KNOW he's going to pass. He NEVER drives straight to the net to take the shot, I've been mentioned this for years. Look at the highlights for his goals, it's almost never driving in the high slot.

Pimlach Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 Skinner picks the worst time to pass. Not that he passes much. 1 Quote
Nitro60 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 One thing about Lou Lamoriello is that you know what kind of team he puts on the ice. They have an identity. Sabres have none. Quote

Kristian Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 Skinner again, with a perfect pass to the opposition 😂😂 Quote

Eleven Posted February 17, 2021 Report Posted February 17, 2021 Between this game and the AMBER Alert that woke me up last night, I have plenty of reason to just go to bed early. Quote

I won’t criticize him for informing the audience about players that are playing well. As a kid I ate that stuff up. I knew a ton about the Sabres and I wanted to know who the good players were on the other teams. I used to announce games when playing table hockey. I knew most every player and even the opposing teams line combos. 😂 Harsh yes...and well deserved. 😂 1 Quote

They have an identity. Sabres have none. Yup. They have the old Devils identity. A few skill scorers. Everyone else responsible and bought into the team game. Get a lead, shut down the opposition, make them press and capitalize on their mistakes. We have the California Golden Seal identify. 1 Quote

In all honesty, what would his market value even be? I'd go all in on another Turgeon for Lafontaine type of a deal if there was another Lafontaine out there. But Eichel's value IMO has taken quite a hit. Edited February 17, 2021 by John Tucker Quote

It will go down even further when he publicly demands a trade. GMKA will have little trade leverage except taking another team's malcontent. Perhaps he can force somebody to take Skinner and his contract as part of a deal. 1 Quote
