The linesmen split it up before Lucic paid the price, and the 2 minute minor was typical pro-Boston *****. In my view, Lucic never paid the price for what he did to Miller. He should have gotten his face caved in but Buffalo hasn't had a good fighter since Rob Ray. All the Sabres did was push him around a little. I'm sure he still laughs about what p*****s the Sabres were and are. Why can't Adams get a policeman? They're not too expensive.

It's not worth arguing about the response back then, pretty much everybody knows it was inadequate, but that was then. This is now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please name all the “policemen” that are regular roster players on each team? Hell, how about 1/3 of the teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need more, just look at who wins the fights on youtube. Buffalo needs some rougher guys to counteract getting bullied, especially in front of the net.

What I didn’t like about that video is the guy says Skinner initiated it. No, Guentzel did! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrefanday1 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I do miss Marcus...and do you really think if that had been the other way around the other guy would get 3 games? Heck I'd be surprised if they even call a penalty if Cindy did that to Skinner. We sure do miss him (Skinner)...hate to admit it but Mitts just isnl't cutting it (and I was one who stuck up for him but whatever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fantasy that has little application to today's NHL. The idea that the Sabres are a deficient team because they lack the ability to fight and adequately respond to assaults makes little sense. The Sabres are where they are in the standings because their roster is not good enough and deep enough to withstand the rigors of a long season against superior teams. This macho gladiator attitude has little to do with making this team more competitive. It's a simplistic solution that isn't really a solution because the on ice struggles this team is encountering is because this team isn't good enough. That's clearly evident to anyone who watches the games with their eyes open. This team needs to add better players. Advocating for more thuggery as a solution to anything is childishly simplistic and utterly stupid. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is super antiquated thinking. I’m not sure any one thug gives actual hockey players on their team “more room”. It’s the classic cliche that hockey people use but like most of their thinking, it’s outdated and proven to be false. Now, you want to bring in a Tkachuk or someone of that manner that can play and bring the heat, I’m all for it. 1 hour ago, Norcal said: That's alright Skinny. I forgive you. He didn’t owe me an apology. You mess with the goalie, you’re gonna pay. End of story. To hell with the consequences. I need some of these guys to lose their composure every now and then.

The notion that physicality and intimidation are somehow gone from the game is naive and simplistic and down right stupid. It's a view held by children and hockey novices who have never played the game and don't understand what goes on on the ice and in the locker room. If you're soft, you'll be run out of the rink when it counts. If you don't believe me, just take a look across the border at the Leafs and their playoff success. Or ponder why a high skill team like Tampa added a brute like Maroon to get them to glory. The list goes on. It's pointless to argue against something so simple and obvious. It is in fact childishly simplistic and utterly stupid. Now go back to your video games where nobody gets hurt.

postseasonblues Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Skinner did not cause any team to think twice about taking liberties, he just cost his own team with his careless overreaction. It was a dumb play and the suspension was appropriate. Teams will be more likely to try to goad him into doing something stupid than they will be worrying about Jeff the enforcer. And comparing this to the Lucic/Miller hit in any way is just silly. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
