Confirmed with Link: Jeff Skinner -- Bought Out 6/29/24

[Jim Carr's Rug]

Been mulling this over for a few days.
It's kind of a bummer.
I like Skinner but...

it's like the Sabres are stuck in a hole and the only tool they have to help get themselves out is a shovel.

Who was the player on the right? He gets it.

Fax machine casualty Mike Zigomanis.

Shannon is a fickle close-minded elitist Canadian snob. His takes are always one note, and he hypocritically stepped all over his initial comments and back stepped several times. The cap this, they're not a market that.

I thought you were kidding.

Why does Shannon hate the Sabres so much?

I still remember him say Kane and ROR were worthless on the trade market yet we got too little for them according to him.

Skinner literally has no relation to Leino and yet he immediately pulls out that name.

 

[flashsabre]

As a Sabres fan who has grown up in Toronto, a lot of the Toronto media hate the Sabres. Glenn Healy, Shannon, Damian Cox are among the worst offenders. They take joy in dumping on them with little fact to back it up.

 

[Tsyolin]

Imagine being as daft as Shannon is and comparing Skinner to Leino.

Here’s a link to the Skinner press conference. It should be starting pretty soon -

I got Cox back a bit the other day...

10/20/2018: Skinner scores more goals in one game than Leino will score during the entirety of the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 seasons. Not sure where the similarities start or end regarding these two individuals.

That was literally the dumbest argument against the Skinner deal I've heard to date.

Skinner had as many goals last season as Leino had over his entire NHL career.

They tout how they are carrying the Skinner press conference, and then they cut it off like 2 minutes in and John Murphy says “and there ya go. The Jeff Skinner press conference”

Meanwhile the press conference went on for another 10+ minutes.

Why even bother carrying it if you’re going to show all of 2 minutes of it? How stupid.

Thankfully I had the Sabres site open on the computer so I didn’t end up missing it. But I’m sure other people were relying on WGR to be able to watch/listen.

(Sorry Taro, this isn’t directed at you...lol)

They probably realized it wouldn't be all that interesting

I hate these pressers. its always just a rehash of everything the media has already reported

Jeff Skinner Press Conference (14:01)

Who's the guy in the middle? He's dumb.

If an HF poster said the kind of things Shannon does, they'd get lit up for trolling. No point in taking anything he says about the team seriously.

Yeah, it was pointless.

John Shannon, he of the hot takes on O'Reilly and Kane from recent years.

 

[Tsyolin]

We got a trademark Skinner smile, the kind that brightens my day. Press conference was a success.

Not aimed at Skinner but I found the statement that the players themselves led to PH's firing equally contentious. Not his own meager bag of useless hawkey f***ery. Please show me the line waiting to hire PH as a head coach, right

He's probably confusing Phil with Disco since they're both shit.

Jeff Skinner is a bad investment for the Sabres

Man, the garbage you see when you google a player to read reactions.

The "Old North" openly cheered when Kevin Durant got hurt. Says all you need to know about Toronto fans, though if you even peek at the main boards you'll get your fill of their "takes".

Lol! You mean we're supposed to be impressed by his vast hockey knowledge: Christian Candeloro

Poor kid. Maybe he should just continue to look for a job in spot management...
