    Ennis with a really pretty goal with his new team.

    Was at the game last night in Anaheim and I agree. Ennis IMO was one of the more underrated good moves of the trade deadline, fits the Oilers like a glove. Ennis had 2 points and was all over the place.

     

  2. Every game is big now but especially after Toronto pulled off a 4-2 upset at Tampa and Florida got a W last night this game is even bigger now.

    That aside, every game IMO is important for this franchise regardless whether or not that they pull off a miracle and make the playoffs. To continue to improve, and change the culture of this franchise this year and for years to come.

    For about the 100th time, no they wouldn't be if Ullmark is still injured and Hutton plays as horrible as he has been.  ROR was on that dead-last team that didn't turn around until coaching change and new goalie.

    But.....but....O'Reilly won the Conn Smythe....and....and Jerry Sullivan told me I MUST weep about that deal and be angry....and tweets were sent from other Buffalo sports media 'darlings' like Mike Harrington to get me mad about O'Reilly. How dare you bring facts and try to kill their joy ?

  4. There is no way to slice it. Skinner was a horrendous signing. Yeah yeah he needs a #2 center but that contract was a massive overpay and looking back JBot would have been better served flipping him at the deadline last year.

    Skinner can be redeemed and be a 25-30 goal guy, but at that cap hit?

    9m dollar a year players shouldn't be so dependent on having others around them to produce.

  5. As for me I am completely done with Jason Botterill:

    Gave us an albatross of a contract with Jeff Skinner to be saddled with for the next 7 seasons after this one.

    Has litterly messed up Casey Mittlestadt's development.

    Refuses to add true toughness and grit to a roster screaming for it.

    Yes, we are waiting for UPL to arrive, but the second they signed Carter Hutton I said 'bad move' and that was proven, one year wonder in St Louis. When will this franchise realize that goaltending is a massive issue?

    Can we TRULY trust this guy with the cap space this off-season to truly fix the issues? Based on Sobotka, Tage Thompson, Frolik, Vesey, and other head scratching moves?

    Oh yes Pierre on NBC said 'it will turn around quick' of course he did, Pierre is a clear Penguins homer and where did JBot come from again?

    Between Bylsma and now Botterill, can we stop looking to the Pittsburgh Penguins organization for the coach and front office answers?

    Saynora Jason!

  6. One period at a time and one game at a time. Not even worried about the standings at this point.

    What is important is this franchise putting wins together, improving week to week and watching Ralph Kruger change the culture of this franchise, which I feel confident he can do.

    Seeing players Dahlin keep improving, watching Eichel continue his Hart worthy campaign, and hopefully Botterill makes the right decisions on how to jettison out of town and work to keep.
