It's live. VERY quiet, but live.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Starts off with Botterill sounding like he's at a funeral, but everyone in the back of the room is cheering...

 

[Myllz]

It's a situation where Phil has been fired and now we're looking for a new coach.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[sabremike]

Hey, the "Young players" bullshit excuse makes it's appearance!!!

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[sabremike]

Not a good enough roster? WHOSE GODDAMNED FAULT IS THAT????

 

[kirby11]

Standards still feel too low.

Omg he just trotted out the "being in games in February and march" garbage

 

[kirby11]

For all the crap I'm giving botts it's good to hear he pulled the trigger on Phil by himself

 

[26CornerBlitz]

 

[BananaSquad]

Botts is all in, this is all on him. I like that.

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

He is taking way too little responsibility for this mess. Pushing it back on the players and development, citing his move to acquire Montour.

He might have lost me here...

 

[sufferer]

No mention of O'Selke yet.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Wish Botterill could be more specific about what he wants in an HC. It would hint that he already has someone close to an agreement. This makes me think they aren't in on anyone right now.

 

[Chainshot]

Hey, the "Young players" bull**** excuse makes it's appearance!!!

Talking about giving young players key roles. So... PKing pairs where Larry-Gus and ERod-Sobotka. So... that's ERod. PP1? Nope, mostly retreads. How about PP2? Oh, look occasionally Mittelstadt and Nylander and Thompson... but holy crap, don't let this shit slide. They DID NOT GIVE YOUNG PLAYERS KEY ROLES TO LET THEM GROW. Phil leaned on vets and Botts let him. f*** this guy, he's throwing smoke.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Ain't that the truth. It's a shitshow top-to-bottom.

 

[Willgamesh]

Just refusing to answer what we are looking for in a HEAD coach. Why is botts so evasive.

 

[Myllz]

He is taking way too little responsibility for this mess. Pushing it back on the players and development, citing his move to acquire Montour.

He might have lost me here...

One of the reporters said the roster is on him and he acknowledged that.

 

[sabremike]

Need more skilled players? You traded one of our most 3 skilled players for f***ing Suckbotka and Berglund you dope.

 

[Myllz]

Just refusing to answer what we are looking for in a HEAD coach. Why is botts so evasive.

Probably because he doesn't know.

 

[kirby11]

Not liking Botts' response to the Skinner question.

Seems way too satisfied with the roster as is when there are a ****ton of upgrades to be made

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Just refusing to answer what we are looking for in a HEAD coach. Why is botts so evasive.

Has to cover his backside in case he can't get his preferred choice.

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

One of the reporters said the roster is on him and he acknowledged that.

I heard that and then also heard him harken back to the Montour trade, as opposed to the botched development paths and inability to acquire a single forward after the Berglund fiasco. I'm not impressed.

 

[sabremike]

One of the reporters said the roster is on him and he acknowledged that.

Then why isn't he resigning in disgrace???
