It does get to me the way some “fans” of this team go out of their way to tear down Jack. This season must be killing them.
It’s not hard to take your post that way when the overwhelming majority are negative towards Jack.
Learned my lesson today. I won't use words that people from Quebec use when they are angry, when I don't know what the word means. Sorry Moderator, didn't know it was offensive.
For 79 games a season I root for the Sabres, good game, see ya soon:

hell's a gigawatt?
He didn't position his body in such a way that would have been square to the net. If I am recalling this correctly, he was basically facing Jack to receive the pass and, upon receiving the pass, he shot it in the direction he was facing. Hence, missed the net. It probably doesn't need to be said that "Sam is not a natural goal-scorer," but...Sam is not a natural goal-scorer and that play was The People's Exhibit 1.
I'M NOT SAYING HE'S BAD DO NOT @ ME
Nate Beaulieu was crushing it in shot attempts for in 3:24 of ES ice time. Also Dahlin and Bogo (and, huge credit to them for putting up good shot metrics, because they played a lot). Literally everyone else on the team was an orange cone.
Scandella deserves a special mention here for producing a 16.67% CF in almost 20 MINUTES of ES ice time. That is the absolute worst performance of the season (or, perhaps, many seasons).

Yeah, we've got uniforms and everything....
Never thought I'd see the day when I would be worried about not having Nathan Beaulieu on the blueline. Does this mean Tennyson stays? 
Jack and Dahlin are going to be fun to watch over the next 10+ years.

Gonna be really interesting to see what Housley/Botts do when we have a fully healthy D........if we ever have that.

It isn't about what he was 5 years ago. He is flat out good at shootouts. Over the last 5 years he is 57% which is above his career average. Jason Pominville always has been and still is good at shootouts. Skinner on the other hand is probably the worst shootout player we have on the team. Over the last 5 years he is 0 for 19. No NHL coach in their right mind would take Skinner in a shootout over Pominville.
It's amazing how some posters here keep clamoring about how terrible Phil is for not putting a guy who is 0 for 19 into a shootout. Phil is dumb for not playing Skinner in OT if Skinner was able to play, but he should pretty much never be used in a shootout.
I wasn't advocating for Skinner, and I know Pominville was decent at shoot outs, but his attempt last night was so...pedestrian. Meh.
Agree. We were....
Thanks for the prop but I can think of a few times where if I could do it over... I would have distributed ice time better across my teams.....
