skinner, unfortunately, needs his center (and maybe even his winger) to carry much of the load in order for him to score...cozens might be ideal as he's still young and probably wouldn't have any issue playing that role...plus he's a 200' player who has strong defensive acumen...

didn't ralph say something about maximizing player potential?...or was it me imagining things?

Imagine if McDermott ran the ball 50 times a game, had Allen throw to Diggs twice a game, and then benched Diggs for having a bad attitude

That's what's happening here

i don't get where okposo had such a great game against the devils...two occasions stuck out from me:

1. he was trying his best to back check but was pretty slow and eakin gave him a shove with his stick to get him into the play...okposo ended breaking it up...

2. had the puck at the devils blue line with nothing between him and the goalie...a devils player caught him and could've circled okposo by the time he hit the slot

Well if he would get Okposo's balls out of his mouth we might understand him a little better.

Can't wait to watch us lose 3-1 tonight. That'll teach the team about what it takes to win
- jcragcrumple


Another 3-1 loss should teach you it wasn't jbotts, larry , larry g or any of the other Larry's.

It's the "star's" that are the problem

Larry Brooks of the New York Post is reporting that Artemi Panarin is taking a leave of absence from the New York Rangers after a piece came out that he beat up an 18-year-old woman in Russia in 2011.
Wow! Brooks tweeted that it was a political hit piece and that is quite the serious accusation for the Russian winger. There should be more to come out shortly but that is huge news for the Rangers and hockey fans.

You're very close to the real truth. Take it one step further - why does every good player suck under Ralph?

Skinner, Eichel, Hall and Dahlin have all been neutered. Everyone has to play Larry Hockey. The goal is to win 3-2 with 2 PP goals. When the PP doesn't win us the game, we lose.

I don't get it Pach's, teams make hard decisions on players like Okposo, and bite the bullet all the time, not the Sabres they coddle them and Kim feeds them milk and cookies.

The only way that happens is if his contract was voided because of this, and that would take a long, long time to play out. I doubt they would want void his contract anyway.

jeff skinner is top-9 or better in every on-ice metric amongst sabres forwards while okposo is no higher than 14th in any category save PDO where he ranks 9th...with both of the having an almost identical o-zone start %

riddle me that, batman
