Housley had basically the same ingredients. Maybe he had margarine instead of butter, or lemon juice instead of vinegar, but the concept is essentially the same and they both suck.

I never thought Edmonton of all teams would pull ahead of us in terms of assembling help around their star.

Because wouldn’t you think at some point already Botterill would have said hey Ralph, I gave Skinner a HUGE new contract. You not playing him with Jack and in OT is kind of making me look like an *ss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Amerk Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I’m probably done with watching for the season at this point. The Skinner “usage” looks like my breaking point. 3rd on the active roster in goals, and barely gets a sniff at the end of the game, and no minutes in OT (but Erod is out there instead). You can either try to spark a “struggling” player by putting him on the top line (like we’d be screwing with a winning streak anyways), or relegate him to 4th line minutes. At $9 million a year...I’m not convinced anyone knows what they’re doing at this point. Oh, and I’m sure this will look attractive to any potential good free agents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I'm sitting here watching a real hockey game with real NHL hockey teams, man, what a difference. It's been so long, so, so long since we've seen good hockey here in Buffalo I'd forgotten what it looks like. What a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t make you a bad Sabres fan for acknowledging the obvious instead of arguing when someone says it. Jack is great. McDavid is greater. I’m pretty sure 100% of teams would take McDavid before Eichel. So there is NO argument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it too Andrew, but I'll never not watch or jump off the bandwagon. I'm as pissed and critical as most on this board. But they're the Sabres. They're like a dysfunctional sibling, I can say bad about them but I'll kick your @ss if you say something bad about them. We have to hang in there with them.

I honestly don't think it'll matter what any of them say except Jack. If Jack says openly, in an interview, he's lost his love of the game or he wants out, then and only then will we have hit rock bottom.
