I see all of these other teams with great passes and opportunities in the slot, and I haven't seen us do that since 2011 You haven't seen Reinhart's last two goals? Quote

We can't be playing checkers while everyone else (other than Ottawa) plays chess. Quote

I feel like he essentially plays a very rigid defensive system, that's why he can win anywhere. Basically a poor man's Hitch Toronto will let us have him for free in two weeks List of his teams’ league rankings in goals for. He was the coach of Washington way back when the knock was that they played no defense(Ovi, Semin, Green) Wild: 28th, 11th, 2nd Ducks: 18th, 10th, 2nd, 7th Caps: 19th, 1st, 3rd, 8th 1 Quote
Huckleberry Posted April 7, 2019 Report Posted April 7, 2019 Surprised it went so fast though, didn't even have player exit interviews. Quote

eman Posted April 7, 2019 Report Posted April 7, 2019 I do believe Florida will be much improved under Coach Q. Lets see how that plays out. Too bad we couldn't get him. Quote

Sorry if the question seems elementary. Well he still has a contract, doesn't he? (I was looking for his length of contract earlier and didn't find it.) If his contract is over, he's done. Quote
New Guy Posted April 7, 2019 Report Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) I wonder which current Blue Jackets are going to be Panthers next year Also, I'm curious whether or not this was Jason's decision alone or if he needed Terry's blessing. Edited April 7, 2019 by New Guy Quote

If his contract is over, he's done. Unless someone can refute this ... Nowadays as soon as a head coach is hired, the moment he become the NHL teams head coach, he’s guaranteed his full salary, even if he gets fired ¼, ⅓, ½, ¾, thru his “contract”. So IF his contract is a three year deal for this example, then yes, Housley will get paid next season by the Sabres. Even if he gets another job. It’s guaranteed money. 1 Quote
Eleven Posted April 7, 2019 Report Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) This ***** team. If Botterill fired him today, he should have known in February and done it then, thereby giving someone an audition. Edited April 7, 2019 by Eleven 1 Quote
