Mustache of God Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 21 minutes ago, Taro T said: The difference this year versus years past is they have an actual coach this year. And while they've been expected by many to simply roll over and die, except for the Vancouver game when they inexplicably started Hutton they haven't been losing games they were expected to win. They could very well come out of this break and circle the drain, but we haven't been given a reason this year to expect that. We said the same thing when Housley came in to replace Bylsma, and when Bylmsa came in to replace Nolan and when Nolan came into to replace....Ron Rolston? I can't even remember any longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 1 hour ago, Mustache of God said: I hope they prove us wrong but this is the same story around this point in the season we've seen the past however many years, "this is the point in the season where they need to come out strong to make a push" only to drop like 3 games in a row to beatable teams and really put a cap on the season before the real playoff push happens for many teams. I really hope I'm wrong, because there's nothing i want more than to watch this team play meaningful games late into the season, however, my optimism meter is in the trash. 1 hour ago, Doohickie said: This is Sabres fandom in a nutsack.

Just 3 of 13 key front office people and 9 of 24 players were here less than three years ago when Terry decided Murray was a failure and hit the reset button Brass: Terry, Kim, Botterill, Sexton, Greeley, Jakubowski, Jankowski, Nightingale, Krueger, Bales, Granato, Smith, Taylor Players: Eichel, Reinhart, Olofsson, Skinner, Johansson, Frolik, Okposo, Larsson, Girgensons, Sheary, Lazar, Asplund, Vesey, Rodrigues, Dahlin, Risto, Montour, Miller, Jokiharju, Bogosian, Pilut, McCabe, Hutton, Ullmark I don't expect this group to make the playoffs, but I didn't in September either. I did think they had enough to make it interesting, and based on what Ive seen over 49 games, I still do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I expected them to make a move to not be in this position after arming themselves with a surplus of defensemen. That's what I expected them to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for a while to get him going again. With Olofsson out it makes sense, and then you can try him back with Johanson when Olofsson comes back. Skinner was in a slump when he got hurt and needs (psychologically) to get out of it quick if we are to have even the slimmest chance at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottysabres Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Skinner needs to be on Jacks wing. This is a no brainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
