Buffalo Sabres cancels Skills Competition
Johan Larsson won last years most accurate shot competition The Buffalo Sabres just released their training camp and pre season schedule, an event that is closely followed by fans of the team. This year all eyes again are turned on Jack Eichel and fellow sophomore Sam Reinhart who quietly produced an excellent season in the shadows of Jack Eichel. However, one fan favorite event was notably absent from the schedule, the annual Sabres Skill Competition. When asked about the cancellation of the event that has traditionally served as a fun and lighthearted break for players and fans alike, General Manager Tim Murray declined to comment. Head coach Dan Bylsma on the other hand admitted that this years skills competition had been canceled because of a lack of qualified participants.
