PASabreFan Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Skinner. Is he a different player on the top line? Nice unforced turnover in the offensive zone. Edited February 17, 2021 by PASabreFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he showed he could hit a stick with a pass. Baby steps. Next game it may be a Sabres stick. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) That's my issue with Jack. Good microcosm. Drives the middle with speed, and then promptly dishes to Skinner outside on the left when the isles were giving Jack space. They KNOW he's going to pass. He NEVER drives straight to the net to take the shot, I've been mentioned this for years. Look at the highlights for his goals, it's almost never driving in the high slot. Edited February 17, 2021 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Skinner picks the worst time to pass. Â Not that he passes much. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro60 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 One thing about Lou Lamoriello is that you know what kind of team he puts on the ice.  They have an identity. Sabres have none.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been my complaint this past decade. Have a GM build a team to a certain style. Pegulas need to back off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew most every player and even the opposing teams line combos.  😂 Harsh yes...and well deserved. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will go down even further when he publicly demands a trade. GMKA will have little trade leverage except taking another team's malcontent. Perhaps he can force somebody to take Skinner and his contract as part of a deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
