You could see his frustration as he skated to the glass.

He knew it. This team has zero confidence. The isle are loaded with it and it shows. 

[DarthEbriate]

So...  fire Krueger tonight so the NBC game tomorrow with some interim coach actually has the skaters showing an effort?

I'm not sure we can wait till the end of the trip if every player already knows it's inevitable

Aside from being snakebit, Skinners needs to regain his 'agitator' style.  When he was playing well (scoring), I thought he was also a pretty good pest as well.  If the pucks aren't going in, do something else to bring more energy on the ice and get under the opposition's skin.

And get pummeled to kingdom come? I sure as ***** wouldn’t want to be an agitator on this team of heartless p*ssies!

The only thing worse about the teams lack of offense is their lack of defense.

[Norcal]

Good pass if someone had anticipation 

[Pimlach]

I got pretty tanked in that Marriott across the parking lot Rayzor.

Yes but Jeff Skinner is getting chances so he’s playing well.

Botterill should be fired immediately for that contract

[Carmel Corn]

For the next home game, the people in charge of the crowd noise should program in a "YEAH" at the point they announce LAST MINUTE OF PLAY......

[Huckleberry]

GG sabrespace, we finished another one 😛

[ExWNYer]

Watching Skinner is like watching a golfer with the yips on the putting green. He's in his own head.

What makes you think they will.  They came out “fired  up” for 5 minutes.  

[Norcal]

I'm gonna give Bryson another shout out. Two nice plays in his own zone there.

[Stoner]

I am kind of loving it. It's all we've known. It's warm and comfortable, like a casserole your mother used to make. We wanted to be a dynasty? We are!

 

[Thorner]

The "Is this the low point?" thread is going to set the record for most outdated takes ever in a thread on SS

[Claude Balls]

Here's a positive, the Sabres are very consistent. Lose two in a row to the Flyers 3-0, 3-0. Lose two in a row to the Islanders 5-2, 5-2.

I guess. If you asked me to choose between Maxim Afinogenov who did some of the prettiest things ever or Mike Foligno, I'm taking Foligno.

Afinegenov was frustrating and electrifying at the same time. Foligno is one of my all time favorite Sabres. He did whatever it took to win.

And for the ROR trade, and for screwing up Mittlestats development, and for Montour, and for stockpiling defenseman, and for Scandella, and mostly for hiring Ralph.

My condolences you had to deal with such putrid casserole

It's like witnessing a horrific car accident. You know you should look away but just can't.

Take Mike Filigno, not even close.

Don't think I've ever seen you hate a player so much 

LOL. That wasn’t hate, it was pure helpless laughter at how ridiculous it’s become.
No matter who he’s playing with or against, no matter how bad or good he plays, he cannot score a goal.

All Skinner has to do to stop getting clowned is score a goal or two. He should get on that.
