hockeyhound Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 Bylsma got more out of similar talent. Housley HAS to take some of the blame whether it's his system, leadership skills, or game management. I'm sure he has. It's a tough pill to swallow but I'm sure he recognizes now that coaching an NHL team is harder than he thought. Painful, ouch, they're making the Sabres look horrible. 11 wins this season, and the Stars announcer asks "What do they do for an encore." I wouldn't want to be in that locker room right now. Good luck, Quote
Tondas Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 As much as I supported his hire I'm becoming more and more concerned about him as head coach. Particularly as a first time coach having what it takes to save a sinking ship. He had a lot of defensive help with the Preds and probably that made him look good. Wonder what Davis Payne thinks of the job that Phil's doing.? He was a head coach before. Maybe Davis is rolling his eyes behind the scenes. Quote
Scottysabres Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 Back patio salted. Waiting to clear :) What did o miss? 6, 6 to 1? Dammit Housley, WTF? Quote
SwampD Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 I miss the narrative that we are this bad because the players are still trying to unlearn Bylsma's crappy system. That was a good one. Quote

Iron Crotch Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 The list of players needed to be turned over is huge. Nolan, Wilson, Larsson, Rodrigues, Girgensons, Pouliot, Pominville, McCabe, Falk, Gorges, Nelson, Lehner, Johnson. All guys I wouldn’t mind being shown the door. It’s a talent issue. We need so much more. Botterill needs to get to work and start making some moves leading up to the deadline since so much turnover is needed. Good list. The only one I'm indifferent about is McCabe. But, I think our other d-men are so bad he probably seems better than he really is. The players on this team just don't stack up against pretty much any other NHL roster. Quote

Stoner Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 "Four Sabres coming to center, three Stars back!" ... voice trails off to silence. Quote
dudacek Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 I've been cleaning and drinking leftover coffee. Good choice. Even if it was twice–nuked three-day old Folgers filtered through Keuirg that hadn’t been cleaned in three years. Quote
calti Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 If this new GM doesnt work out in the next yr..Pegula needs to hire PROVEN big time winners at GM and coach.And he needs to leave them alone for a decade. Quote

SwampD Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 It'll be interesting to see if anyone cares enough to lockout the media so they can have a player's only meeting. Those always work. Quote
