I think comparisons are in order here. Skinner is getting singled out. Okposo blows many defensive assignments and may be worse than Tage in the offensive zone with the puck, yet he played 1 second less than Eichel last game, has yet to be benched, wears an "A", and only has good things said about him by the coach, all the while having zero points. Oh and Ralph thought it would be a good idea to put him in as a sixth attacker at the end of the game. It's clearly the coach.

He plays The Right Way™️

Him and Risto were having their best seasons in forever and Risto gets Covid and McCabe has that injury

Really Risto was the best Sabre this short season and McCabe was certainly proving his worth

Sucks, you never want to see someone get hurt
- Stripes77

Agree on Risto. He has played mostly great this season. Still kind of clueless in his own zone sometimes, but overall I felt like our best player this year was Ristolainen, if best means most consistent and good at his position.

McCabe still looks sterile to me. He just doesn't know what kind of game to play or what kind of player he is still. He's just there.

Okposo plays with synergy. He’s a synergistic force in the locker room. You don’t just replace synergy like that.

He is a good Locker Room Guy™️

I'd be the best locker room guy ever for 6 mil. id give massages, hand out granola bars and orange slices, be the in-house DJ since Bogo is gone. I can do all of that and score zero points.

I’ll do it for girgensons money....

Blessing in disguise.

If Ralph allows it were going to find out a lot about what Dahlin can and cannot handle

For the life of me I don't understand how Bruce Boudreau is unemployed right now.

Krueger said they don't measure players purely on statistics. He said Skinner is a gut feel. He said it's more to get Casey in than on Skinner. He said its good for Jeff to take a look from the outside. Said Borgen is a candidate to play tomorrow.




This guy can go (frank) himself

borgen out...day to day...possible tomorrow vs. nj

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

The plan all along is to get him to waive to go and it's working.

I flagged you by accident. I think it was a Freudian reaction to the pure anger I feel toward Ralph

What are the line combos as of right now anyone know?

Plus what 6 coaches, 3 GMs, 6 horror contracts, 10 years no playoffs, multiple first round picks, a tank, veteran sell off, years of navy blue, the Turd burger, the Pat LaFontaine incident, the list goes on.

I was just told not 5 minutes ago that it's going to start getting very interesting soon for the Sabres. Grab some popcorn

Yes, i do know that for sure

And of course Agents see that too
But NFL players almost always take the $$$ when they can get it
Can always renegotiate in the future
