Well 2 loses to 2 of the three bottom point teams. Good job Buffalo!

In all fairness to Botteril. O’ Reilly lost his love for hockey in Buffalo. The way this shitshow is going they seem like they need a complete overhaul of coaching and scouting.

Can they fire Phil Housley please. They have totally quit on him. This team is pathetic!

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I agree. I think they have some decent players but this team lacks quality coaching. They need someone that is tough on these guys.

Only in Buffalo a player like O'Reilly can lose his love for the game of hockey.

No matter what most you guys think. Not many quality free agents are going to be heading to Buffalo unless they overpay big time. Buffalo needs to get their ***** together real soon or their will continue to be a mass exodus of players out of Buffalo in hockey and in football. It just feels like they are a farm team for the NHL and NFL. I have been saying for years the key in Buffalo is drafting and developing since Buffalo is not on established players most wanted destinations to play in.

I always thought what he had to write about the Sabres was always amusing. He hyped up every player that came to this team as they were the best to play the game. You couldn't take anything he wrote seriously because of this.

Paying no state tax. He’s gonna love it here in Vegas. If Buffalo loses Skinner in the off-season they will be right back to square one. It’s like they took a big step forward this year but losing Skinner without replacing all those goals would mean how many more loses? I still don’t think Housley is the right coach for this team. It’s sad because the people in Buffalo deserve so much better!

If you take Skinner off this roster you will have more losses. He’s having his best season ever and if he walks at the end of the season you again take another step back. Yes I like are other additions as well but I believe we need a better coach. I don’t think Phil Housley is the right guy for this team. Joel Quinnville is available I make the call for him. I think Bots has done a great job with the amateur scouts and finally have taken the right steps. And what I mean is you need strong scouting that finds players that can contribute at the nhl level that is drafted in rounds 2-7.

We seen what this team can play like when they are skating hard and forechecking hard. And when they don’t skate hard they look soft. The power play sucks. They are easy to figure out . Guys should be moving around and rotating spots. But nothing. This team has been fading fast and are losing a chance at finally making the playoffs. I said awhile back that Housley didn’t seem like he was the right guy for this team and I still stand by it.

Probably play for his hometown team- Boston

Players need to play held and held accountable. A lot of players not hustling. They seem soft. They need to play fast up front and play tough on the backend. When Chicago fired Quinnville I would have been on the phone the next day.

Wow what a great power play by Buffalo. It’s brutal to watch.

And he’s suppose to be one of the veterans.

To me if you take Skinner away this team is lottery pick worthy. They seem soft when you watch them. The coaching and Culture need to change.

I agree. Housley needs to go.

How many more years are we wanting top 10 picks. It’s becoming a joke. If Skinner wasn’t here you would be talking lottery pick.

I agree. Not a fan at all of Phil Housley. I would hire Quinnville. Look at one of my posts about Skinner. If he tests free agency the strides you made this year go right out the window.

Yep. The other teams start picking up their game and Buffalo is fading fast. Just think if you took Skinner off this roster and all his goals. They would be at least 5 more losses. They have made some strides this year because of Skinner and some of their young players but if Skinner tests free agency now you take another step back.

It all depends on who the veterans are. This team is pissing their way out of a playoff spot. Just seeing the obvious but if Skinner isn’t here and having this type of year they would probably be battling for another top 5 pick. This team seems like they are on life support.

They have been in the league for years now and they need to be leaders and lead by example.

Better hope Jason can get Skinner signed because take him off the roster you could throw in way more losses. I like what Bots has done but they seem like they are on life support right now.

Here’s a question for you guys I know we have St. Louis #1 pick, do they keep this years pick and give us next years?

I certainly hope so because I thought that last year as well. The guy is unbelievable with the puck and such a smooth skater. He’s like McDavid of the Eastern conference. Both these players have to carry their teams.
