GDT: Game 40: Islanders @ Sabres - 12/31 6pm ET (MSG-B, WGR 550)

[Alix]

Good thing we released Lehner. Hutton is good for at least one bad goal a game.

 

[deVolt]

This team are not making the playoff

 

[jc17]

Can’t expect to win scoring one ****ing goal.

They got 40 shots

 

[NotABadPeriod]

This team needs Hasek in net with the goal support it produces.

 

[Ralonzo]

The 3 stars for the game:

1) Rabbit's foot - NYI
2) Horseshoe - NYI
3) 4-leaf clover - NYI

 

[Vito_81]

Sam turns the puck over if he has it on his stick longer than 2 seconds

Pretty done with this guy.

Give Skinner his 8+.

Reinhart can f*** off as a cap casualty if need be.

 

[Fearnot]

Start the fallback for Jack!(Hughes).

lol, you wanted to keep Lehner? said no one ever

 

[Gabrielor]

Our scorers are cold as hell man.

In the news, Mittelstadt wasn’t ready for this. It’s beyond official. Botts f***ed that up hard.

[CrazyPsycho]

That was Dahlins worst game in ages too, not ideal

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Pretty disappointing game. Only bright spot is that most of the bandwagon jumpers who came on (or back) with the 10 game win streak have departed........

agreed, havn't seen him really play at a NHL level (let alone a 2nd line NHL level)

*snort*

 

[Not Sure]

If Botts cares at all about ever making the playoffs he would fire housley before the press conference tonight. This game should show everyone in the front office just how dependent Housley is on Eichel to produce. The win streak bought him a month, it's time to go. I'm not even mad, just hope to God someone sees the writing on the wall, hes not a head coach and might never be. Stop hiring ex-Buffalo players for management and get someone who knows what the hell hes doing.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Sams inflated point total is all Eichel and Skinner. Dude has 8 goals in the first 40 games. Sooo worth 6+ mil

If Sam was truly a star he would have centered the top line in Jacks absence. Or scored a big goal on his own when we needed it. He needs a lot more then a lucky streak playing with 2 stars to earn a big contract.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

If we didn't have bad puck luck, we'd have no puck luck at all.

 

[Buff15Sabres]

Pretty done with this guy.

Give Skinner his 8+.

Reinhart can **** off as a cap casualty if need be.

Is this the hottest take on this page? I can't decide between this and the guy complaining about not re-signing Lehner.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Time to tank.

Why is this on Housley? we have (1) line.. and no depth forwards after. What coach wins w/ that?

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

The lesson here might be that December is when the real contenders start showing up and the wanna be/puff clouds begin to dissipate.

You want to sign this Ghost for a long term deal??

Where was he tonight?

 

[deVolt]

That was Dahlins worst game in ages too, not ideal

why because he did not score?

 

[Hasekperreault23]

Pretty done with this guy.

Give Skinner his 8+.

Reinhart can **** off as a cap casualty if need be.

I would move Reinhart at deadline i don't think he can drive his own line.We can get good value for him he just doesn't do anything great but might be attractive to other teams.Build around Jack,Skinner,Ris to,Dahlin.Thompson,Middlestadt,Pilot,Ullmark are the others.Get some young NHL ready players for Sam,Erod,Sheary,McCabe,Scandella.Waive Vlad buy out okposo.Sign a FA promote some kids,draft 3 first round picks stay the course

 

[CrazyPsycho]

why because he did not score?

He was moving at Scandella speed all game
