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.

Good post

All arrows point at krueger.

Or


Eichel's vagina

My issue is his usage

He is getting almost zero o-zone starts

You don't use an offensive winger like that

It makes no sense

It makes total sense when you see whos making the decisions...

we felt casey deserved to get a chance and provide a spark

obviously in a shortened season, guys are gonna need to sit out so as a team we are fresh

we like what skinner brings and expect him to be a strong piece moving forward when we get him back in the lineup

but right now casey is working hard and we felt as an organization he deserved a shot to play

How can anyone blame 1 player when literally everyone is playing under their expectations.

Eichel leading the team in shots..

I am not trying to just crap on skinner just a thought that perhaps there are issues with him that extend beyond the coach.
I don’t care who looks right or good I simply want the team to win, if that means putting skinner with Jack regardless and getting rid of Kruger, then do it I have no issues, just want to see the team do well.
- Sabres1523

Sorry, I didn't mean you were crapping on Skinner, I meant Ralph. It's just a catch-22. He has to play with better players to be useful but he can't "earn the right" to play more by playing with guys who all but guarantee he won't score. I just dont see how any of this is useful on Ralph's part

I don't mind watching a bit of Mitts to see if his game is changing.

What doesn't make sense is scratching a guy for 60 minutes rather than have him play 16 with Eichel, Staal or Eakin.

Tage and Eakin both average more ice time than Skinner. Both have same amount of point.

Interesting on Eakin, almost sounds like Sobotka. Running 🏃‍♀️

Because the Russian government is savage and will kill anyone anywhere for any little reason.

You believe one of the most corrupt governments ever? Who have lied and killed for their own agenda for years upon years. Putin has literally changed laws over there to stay in power till he is dead.

Paul Hamilton made a point today that Skinner's last 30 games - that's 30 games - played with Jack have been non productive. I'm the last person who wants non-NHLer, 37, anywhere in the lineup letalone top line, but 53's made his own bed...even if Ralph is pissing in it now. Too bad, so sad as the saying goes.

The last 30 games that Skinner played with Jack or the last 30 games that Skinner has played because the last 30 games he played he has NOT played with Jack more than a few shifts here and there

This could get interesting. I would really like to know were Eichel's head is at.
- Buff36

It’s really quite simple. I bought an eichel reverse retro jersey and a skinner one too. Therefore, they must suck.

I'm guessing it's 30 games that Skinner has played with Eichel for any amount of time - even if it's 2:30

I have no idea why both P Ham and Harrington are so eager to carry Ralph's water

On Jack's line. Going back multiple seasons

So 2 years ago when he scored 40 in the first 50 then sucked at the end of the year?

You realize he was injured for a large portion of those. He twisted the ever living crap out of that ankle. Yeah, that was toward the end of the 40 goal season. But skinner didn’t play with jack at all last year. Even when Olo went down with injury. And Ralph had toyed with him this year. Clearly skinner banged Ralph’s daughter. Or wiped his ass with Ralph’s book. Or just told Ralph to F off. Cause none of it makes any sense.

I disliked the Skinner signing since day 1.
he's been pretty average outside of 3/4 a season.
He makes 9 million. He needs to be able to produce by himself at least one or two times. (Insert someone telling me that he has no puck luck because he should have like 3-4 goals right now)

Regardless. The need to find a way to get him going because hey are stuck with him.
This clearly aint it. Find another way.

Just needed clarification

I mean after his injury he was not playing well

But the last time he played with Jack regularly was over a year and a half ago

I hope he a** f*cked her and then told him to f off

A good part of the last 15 games or so from what Ham said, yes, he struggled on Jack's line.

Hurt at the end of the year...
