Edit: or now I understand what he was trying to say; over their past 27 games the Sabres have earned points in 22 of them (for a total of 39). Don't blame Paul. I probably misunderstood what he was saying. He must of said that the Sabres earned points in 22 out of 25 games. I will put my head down and slow walk to corner in the room and wear the dunce cap. It will be appropriate to point one's finger at me and snicker. ?

I take full responsibility for my stupidity. I can't run away from it because I have earned it. Dumbness in plain sight. ? 1
26CornerBlitz Posted December 18, 2018 Author Posted December 18, 2018 Linus Ullmark was absent from the team's morning skate due to an illness, but he's still expected to serve as Hutton's backup tonight. Housley made a few changes to his forward lines in an effort to jumpstart the offense, most notably swapping centers Casey Mittelstadt and Vladimir Sobotka. "I just think we're trying to look for some chemistry and balance," Housley said. "Obviously Jack's line has been terrific for us, contributing offensively. We're just trying to give a different look, a fresh look, and see where it plays out. I think they're very well-balanced." Here's how the Sabres are expected to line up: 53 Jeff Skinner - 9 Jack Eichel - 23 Sam Reinhart 71 Evan Rodrigues - 37 Casey Mittelstadt - 29 Jason Pominville 43 Conor Sheary - 17 Vladimir Sobotka - 21 Kyle Okposo 71 Evan Rodrigues - 22 Johan Larsson - 28 Zemgus Girgensons 6 Marco Scandella - 55 Rasmus Ristolainen 26 Rasmus Dahlin - 4 Zach Bogosian 45 Brendan Guhle - 48 Matt Hunwick 40 Carter Hutton 35 Linus Ullmark
BillsFan4 Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Wish they would have asked him about Skinner’s contract status. They were supposed to start talking around now. I’d love to know if any progress has been made. I’m Anxious to get that dude signed...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 18, 2018 Author Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) 12-18: Jason Botterill with Schopp & the Bulldog on WGR (16:54) Listen now as #Sabres GM Jason Botterill joins Schopp & the Bulldog at @716FoodandSport! Botterill - I know how hard our players & coaches have worked. They should be proud of their accomplishments so far, and know there's more work to be done. #Sabres Botterill - Within that five game losing streak we played two or three really good games. That's good for Mittelstadt & Dahlin to go through. #Sabres Botterill - We feel some players down in Rochester will help us out in the second half of the year. #Sabres Botterill on Berglund - All I can say is we've made a statement on it and nothing has changed. #Sabres Botterill - Jack has played well defensively with hard matchups. He's gotten a lot better on his two way game. #Sabres Botterill on Eichel - You come into the league at age 18, sometimes we're amazed how good they are. He's grown as a leader and a man. #Sabres Botterill - We've tried to create three balanced pairings, trying to get some depth scoring. That's how we want to win. #Sabres Botterill - Pilut will hopefully be back this weekend, same thing with McCabe. You want to see them get some practices before that happens. #Sabres Botterill on Pilut - I think his play has been outstanding so far. After some injuries we had to throw him in the deep end versus some top players and he did a super job. #Sabres Botterill on Pilut - His ability to cope with some disappointment and how hard he works in practice is part of why he got back up here. #Sabres Botterill - Whether you're drafted or undrafted, it's all about development. The draft is just a snapshot. #Sabres Botterill on something he wants to be better - You want to have more depth scoring up front. The game vs. Arizona, loved it. You see little things like Girgensons blocking that shot, he got an assist for that. #Sabres Jason Botterill: "You Want to Have More Depth Scoring Up Front" The Sabres have strung a nice stretch together following their five game losing streak. It's been a bit since we talked with the General Manager. Before the Sabres played the Panthers on Tuesday night, Sabres GM Jason Botterill stopped by 716 Food & Sport to chat with Schopp & the Bulldog. Here's some of the best from Botterill's time with the guys! Edited December 19, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz

stevestojan Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Once again, where is Skinner’s $1b contract? All kidding aside, get him a 7x9MM and make sure we never have to play against him.

Whether he's out drinking with his friends or sitting around watching reruns of Golden Girls the damage to his professional reputation is the same. I properly qualified and disclaimed my rumor as such. You're quite touchy on this subject. I saw the same rumor, probably from a different source, on twitter the day he got suspended. It's one of the few possibilities that make sense. I believe this one, in combination with he's pissed about playing time and role.

plenzmd1 Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 WTF, did this team just have it’s Miller/Lucic moment?

How many here can say that they have never been pissed off at something about work and then gone off and partied for 48 hours straight with Swedes. I bet they were out looking to curbstomp a couple Fins.
plenzmd1 Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Freaking Yandle scores( or at least a assists). I am not feeling good about this. He needs to be drilled, and hard. I don’t care if Sabres lose 4-2. I am watching in bar, so no sound. Am I missing something? BTW, above was posted at 2-1 Sabre’s. Now 4-2 panthers. Schoking Edited December 19, 2018 by plenzmd1
