“We Just Didn’t Show The Urgency” | Buffalo Sabres Forward Jeff Skinner After Loss To Kraken
Are they a tough team when they get into that mode where they decide you know we don’t want to skate with this team we want to try to you know bring the game down down a little bit and and you know try try a tough chucking type of thing
Is it hard for you guys to play that style no I I don’t think so I thought we had chances we just we just didn’t didn’t show the urgency I think sometimes you go into a game team’s playing well and I think their goal he’s playing pretty well he’s probably got
Some good confidence and um it might not be the second it might not be the first chance the second chance you just you have to hang around the net and obviously it’s it’s tough to stay there it’s it’s they don’t want you there but you have to find a way
To uh to get there and and make a difference at the end of the day was to cord the difference because you had some gr a opportunities on them you guys could easily had three or four in the first period I mean maybe I guess he
Made the saves but I think I think we still we have another level I think it’s um yeah he played a good game he’s he’s he’s on a good stretch right now and uh we did have some good chances but I think I think we’ve got more defensively what happened too I
Mean you guys also gave up some great a to them which they capitalized on what happened defensively where was it just too many turnovers after a while yeah a few breakdowns they got some guys that that for check pretty hard and uh obviously you got the I don’t know if it
Was a second or third one the pp there um and then yeah just a couple breakdowns I think and and um yeah I mean mean teams that’s going to happen I think we we forced them into some breakdowns and we didn’t capitalize and um they forced us into some breakdowns
And we and uh and we we obviously gave up too many thank you

13 players contracts will be up. Keep Middelstadt, Robinson. maybe keep Luk
Some are obvious but these can go
Bryson, Comrie, Joker, johnson, jost, girgensons Krebs okoposo, oloffson, stillman,
We have no hit or grit players
Ive been a fan since 1970 and this is the most GUTLESS ,HEARTLESS and SOFT Sabres team Ive ever seen! The players dont seem to care and the GM and coach are clueless as Levi should be in the AHL for at least a year. Ryan Miller played over 160 AHL games before coming to Buffalo!
I'm sick of hearing excuses. This will be 13 years with no playoffs. They have ZERO chance of making it as things stand now. They don't even seem to care especially the guys who just signed big deals. Apparently since they signed they don't care about winning. It's gotten old.
Thanks Jeff , we can see there's no urgency. This is a very soft team.
