Skinner Ends Any Kraken Playoff Hopes – Postgame Thoughts

Skinner Ends Any Kraken Playoff Hopes – Postgame Thoughts

The Buffalo Sabers who are on the clock by the way the only team picking ahead of the Kraken in Friday night’s draft um a lot of turmoil there a lot of new head coaches for in the last 5 years 10 straight years no playoffs so we’ll see

What the sabes can offer here perhaps rubbing it in there perhaps yeah sorry Sabers fan those are facts [Applause] Well that got to shut those two guys up well Seattle fans that just might be the final nail in the coffin for their season tonight I think out in Seattle and um but fret not you always have Sleepless in Seattle there you go all right this is uh a victory I’ve been

Waiting for since this teams come into the league so it feels really really good the timing we got it cuz we needed to win they needed to win more than us they had a terrible home stand so they were they’re due to win at home so we

Caught these guys at a time I I should have mentioned that in the pregame they’re they’re really due to win at home Seattle but hey you know it’s a weird Time of the Year guys let’s look at the numbers okay shots on goal 3430 for Seattle we had 61% of the faceoffs they

Had 39 they were one for five on the power play the Sabers over for two they had 37 hits the Sabres had 26 we had 23 blocks they had 10 Sabers had seven giveaways though they only had one uh takeaways pretty even they had nine we had eight shots on goal per

Period 109 Sabers in the first 127 sabes in the second and a push by Seattle in the third but nothing happened 188 Lucan was outstanding in the period for that 3430 total scoring Eberly opens it up as we seen at the 24 second Mark and 25 seconds later

Tage from gurgenson and Tuck ties at 1-1 then at the 356 Mark Skinner with his first of the night makes it 2 to1 Sabers from Krebs at 541 tuck gets his 19th from Thompson and gurgenson Sabers Up 3 to one after less than 6 minutes 541 in

Bers gets one later on in the period on the power play from tolvanen and Schultz at 1436 so 32 after one a lot of scoring in the first we go to the second power scores makes it 4 to2 Sabers from cousins and petka at 10:36 and it’s feeling pretty good right about

There because very soon after Skinner gets his second makes it 52 Sabers at 1118 we head to the third as we just seen now Skinner scores a late one gets the hattick from Greenway and Bryson 6-2 Sabers final so this guys is a big one I’m

Going to try and talk a little monotone so I don’t wake up my neighbors but wow my goodness you know this was a huge win and I can’t tell you how many times tonight guys I heard the Seattle fan uh Seattle announcers say the Sabres are

Going to be in for a hard game tomorrow would they shut up already honestly ly you know they were so biased it was unbelievable their their announcers I couldn’t believe these guys really I couldn’t believe them I mean all they kept talking was how awesome Seattle looked in certain part

Parts of the game once in a while they say something good about the Sabers but by the end they had to they didn’t have a choice they did point out we the youngest team in the league they did mention we’re not physical enough there’s some stuff they know over there

But um hey you know like this was a win that we had to get guys no matter what boys had to get this win and we got it so now maybe it sets the tone for this road trip let’s hope you know if we can ever get tomorrow we’re going to be

Feeling I think pretty damn good about our chances again if we can get tomorrow tomorrow’s not going to be an easy easy game at all as we know you know we are playing Vancouver who haven’t seemed to have been in a slump once all year it

Feels like you know I’m going to go there just for a sec guys just to check uh uh Calgary of course sucks and lost to Washington tell you the truth I’m not that surprised I hoping Calgary would win but you know I mean when you got Huber dud and

And you got like a a washed up cadry I mean this is what you’re going to get some nights you’re going to get a non-effective team um let me just check Vancouver Cas so Vancouver folks are 53 and two their last 10 there always seems to be you

Know never never under there always seem to be over 500 21 and 7 at home and for 217 and four their goals for and against folks is a league leading plus 54 let me confirm that NOP my bad Florida plus 59 but they’re a a West leading plus 54

They’ve been in first it seems like all season nobody can catch them although Edmonton’s making a push Edmonton is making a push they’re 42 and 18 they’re well on their way to 50 wins this year just what a season for uh for the Canucks unbelievable season they’re

Having over there and the sil the winipeg Jets quietly having an awesome season too let’s not forget about them so uh this is the game I think on this trip that is going to be the toughest and if the sabes can walk out of there with the two points I think

We’ll all be pretty pretty damn happy guys really I think we’ll all be feeling pretty damn good about it because it’ll feel like The Season’s alive again as we sit right now guys three points out so we’re in this you got to be able to tolerate the bad with the good though

You know and uh this tomorrow is huge it’s so big because if they can beat the best team really one of the best teams anyway in the league I think when it’s all said and done this team might win president’s trophy they look like they might because they’ve been so consistent

This year but we’ll see there’s a lot of games left they might finish fourth overall when it’s all said and done but this conu team won’t be easy it’s going to be a tough game but tonight we’re going to take this guys absolutely we’re going to take this game we’re going to

Run with it because tonight sets the tone that okay we’re alive and well we’re not dead and buried like maybe we thought we were after last game cuz last game was last game it was just it’s history now nothing we can do about it if we can play like this with some some

With some jump and um a little too careless in our Zone tonight but it was just a fast-paced game I thought really it was up and down game and the Sabres are willing to do that game with anybody in the league that’s one thing I like

About this young Team guys is they think they’re the Russian Red Army or the Edmonton Oilers they do think they are so they’re not scared to play anybody up and down they’re not scared of anybody still right now I’m okay with that but we do have to like tomorrow we can’t be

Doing that with Vancouver because they’re a smart team defensively they will be taking the body on us tomorrow and we have to be you know up up for the up for the challenge of a physical game I hope the sabes are because if the Sabres go in there and

Lay 15 hits in the game they’re going to lose they’re going to lose for sure they got to play like tonight they got to throw at least 25 26 hits Devon Levi will be in Nets UPL look great again I tell you you know Dylan cousins he wasn’t bad tonight

But he just doesn’t seem like a himself out there Tage looked good tonight he looked okay uh I’m glad to see Skinner woke up that was beautiful we needed that and we need petka to snap out of it okay I’d have to check his last 10 games

But it just seems like anytime he shoots now he’s not going to score that’s just how it feels with PKA right now we need PKA back getting his goals so we need him tomorrow we need a game from cousins too and the other guys have to show up

I’m hoping that as this West trip guys continues it continues opening more and more and more and and our our team just starts to gel more and more and more that’s what I’m hoping I don’t know what to expect be honest so you want to uh

Come say hi come here come here there we go Rosie says I’ll come say hi to everybody I’m very happy tonight and there she is folks she’s getting ready to go out yes you are you’re going to go out yeah you shy she’s shy right now so Rosie was

Happy I’m happy you’re happy that’s all that matters right now guys and this was one that we couldn’t let slip out of our hands though I I you know I’m just happy we got this one cuz it just eases a lot less I know I Know oh Rome just came in he’s he’s uh okay keep it down okay keep it down keep it low Rome wants to talk to the Seattle fans before they go to sleep you will be destroyed you will be destroyed I’m going to let him have a few extra digs destroy they burned it

There you go okay so that’s it guys I think we’ll call it a night um this little one’s bugging me to go out but she’s jealous anytime I pick up Rome go figure this out um but tonight guys they settled in they took the game from them that’s all it

Matters tonight we’re going to just take this run with it I’ll see you guys in the uh pregame tomorrow get this help tonight as quick as I can but I’ll tell you what guys I’ll put it out on a low resolution so it’s not too too too late

Okay if I could I’d talk more but you know I got neighbors sleeping done for the night the boys win three points out see you Tomorrow

Hey folks, this video took forever to process and no clue why..the boys get it done in Seattle and now are 3 points out of a playoff spot again..see you in the pregame tomorrow 😎
