HOW

 

[SackTastic]

Someone from out of town go buy some cortizone, because I'm pretty sure they just pumped every ounce in Buffalo into Skins.

We’re wining a game and playing great so let’s whine about Sam’s bridge deal.

I wanted Sam signed for 8 years but I can live with the bridge. Worst case scenario is we pay star money to a star. Oh noes.

No it won’t haunt us. Paying crappy players big money does, acquiring crappy players will. Paying a star money in line with his play will not.

It’s not about living with it. It’s about a wasted opportunity with such a small benefit as to be very stupid.

Cup teams don’t pay top rate for all of their top players.

I mean, coming from people who try to say the O’Reilly deal might have blocked Skinner getting picked up, let alone resigned, is mind boggling.

We might not be able to have 4 nice forwards because O’Reilly was paid market rate, but it won’t matter for Sam getting market rate??? Does the flaw in this logic seem to obvious or am I missing something?

Jack at 10
Jeff at 9
Sam at 8.5-9
Dahlin at 10
Risto?
Mitts?
Pilut?
Thompson?

Sure you can pay Sam market rate and not feel bad about him getting paid in a very narrow sense. But it means you have less ability to surround him and the rest with a team.

Back to the Game, wee might win.

 

[Buffaloed]

Now Skinner will be called a faker. lol

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Finish them!

 

[gallagt01]

[Dietpepsi]

I didn’t see the injury when it happened, only a gif. From the gif it didn’t look too bad. Glad that turned out to be true.

 

[Havok89]

That’s the good version of Risto that’s worth keeping long term.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Bogo wtf man

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Dem figure skating lessons doe.

 

[GellMann]

Did Washington break in and sabotage our sticks today?

 

[SackTastic]

Sexy tip

 

[gallagt01]

Typical that this line would get scored on after the great two periods they had.

 

[Panthaz89]

really...all those chances and they get one deflection and its in.

 

[joshjull]

Damn

 

[GellMann]

And dammit. But I don't even care about this game if Skinner is all good

 

[MagnumForce2]

Well at least we killed 2 minutes off the clock with our powerplay before they scored.

 

[Chainshot]

Ray criticizing the defensive play but McCabe was hobbled badly by the shot block.
