If Eichels not injured though hes doing more(scoring more) which puts us right in a position to be battling for the playoffs in a tough division maybe the toughest in the league.
- DirtyDan

Really because he's been scoring up until this year and we still haven't made the playoffs.

Gil Perreault was here for 17 and we did nothing. You didn't hear anyone wanting to trade his a$$.

Yes, I'm comparing Perreault to Eichel. F you.
- kritter65

So you're telling me F you ?

Mr. Nibbles and Wild Pete

Do they have any real connections though?

There’s been way too many sock puppets pretending to have real sources

Supposedly Wild Pete knows Jason Nightingale's barber

ralph's using some tough love...i used the analogy of two rams butting heads a while back and i think that holds true...and like i said, i'm willing to see where this goes...they're 1-1-0 with skinner in the pressbox, and they played a great game in that loss
- Michael Pachla

It’s true they have played really well considering the injuries and the healthy scratch of Skinner. Should be very interesting over the next few days.

We haven't had a single experienced head coach in that time.. or an experienced management group. Eichel has not been the problem. Adding a couple guys here and there implementing different systems and different types of personnel to fit your own image of a team and this is what we get...

Don't forget Jack Adams winner Teddy Nolan. That happened for some reason

I’m not gonna let you off with that. Seriously. You can’t say the first part and then KO is different. No he’s the exact same. He shouldnt be playing and neither should anyone that is dragging the team down. Experience is all well and dandy until you no longer can at least hold your own water.

I'm gonna keep a close eye on irwin tonight 👍
Not letting me off ..m 🙂

Thing is : okposo has been completely shot for years. We have all seen this, game in game out, season in season out.

We are down our best 2 defenseman in risto and McCabe.

They both play a lumbering tougher game ( as well as borgen) . It's replacing a player with a similar veteran style of play.

You %1000 skinner sure, get what your asking for :
No surprises with the vet


Patrik Laine btw:

11 gp 8 goals 5 assists 13 points

Jeff %1000skimmer

12 gp 0 goals 1 assist 1 point 🙄

With an inexperienced gm. Why can’t we ever have an experienced gm. Why can’t we have an experienced president. Why can’t we have an experienced consultant. That is also 1 experienced coach that jack couldn’t stand. One experienced coach that had been away from the game forever. A coaching gardener. The hot assistant. The soccer czar that’s never coached a full season. Just go hire Bruce or gallant and be done with it...

They (the owners) have made one garbage hire after the next... it is solely on their shoulders due to their ignorance or arrogance. I’m not sure which one...

Benching one of your best 5 on 5 players to make sure Kyle Okposo and Cody Eakin remain in the lineup really screams team is going to break through.

GM is trying to save his job.

Unless the new HC can spark the special teams or voodoo Price into a competent NHL goalie again it’s not going to change too much.
- Pegullaville

skinner for price straight up...

who's with me?

The chatter about Skinner and Mittelstadt for Duchene is now deafening

Chatter everywhere.


- jcragcrumple

Oh great. Another “supposed to be good player from Colorado” that everyone thinks is good because he doesn’t play for the Sabres and got paid $$ so we should want him.

Isn’t that kinda what skinner is? A guy we all jerked of to 10 years ago or so?

Who is Laine playing with again?

Put skinner where he belongs for a stretch of games and he will light the lamp.

Skinner. Jack. Samson. Hasn’t been done in any consistency for 2 years.

New season of SNOWFALL came back on FX last night, great show.

Do the potential gms have a choice in your senario?
Can they say no to Buffalo?

Or

When terry calls them. They have to say yes?
Like a dictatorship?

Curious? 🤔

- Michael Pachla

Price
Parise
Duchene

Brent Burns

Who ya got?

it bugged the shiot out of me for a little while, but i'm over it...

over it because i'm interested in seeing how this all works out...ralph's really hanging his hat on this move...it's ballsy and something he considers necessary...looking back on the teams we've seen waltz their way through the season and wuss out when it comes to pressure, i'm starting to think it might be necessary as well

What does skinner or Laine have to do with Irwin and better them? Answer is nothing. Half of Irwin’s “toughness” and hits come when the puck is gone cuz he’s too slow to be there when the puck is. Again, I’ll eat crow if I’m wrong. Will you do the same? I mean Kahun would be ties for 3rd in goals and in 5th for points on a league Min contract. Is that not good?

we need a goalie for the next two or three years...price would be fine while they maximize the development of upl and portillo

A couple of top centers in the nhl, playing with laine

Jack roslovic
Boone Jenner
Nick foligno.

So you want skimmer with 3rd line players?

I missed your point?

Do they have any real connections though?

Circumstances.

Picking some random guy with 4 professional and 0 nhl games and healthy scratching a veteran that the coach brought in is:


Ridiculous.

Go luck with the crow.

And to continue to not let anyone "get away" with an opinion.... more ridiculous

I'm good, hope you are. 🤝
