Nelson was the first one to “get involved”. He pushed Zadorov and that was it.

How would Eichel be getting Housley fired? Eichel's played his heart out up until tonight, Housley's just been trash at getting anything out of the rest of the team.

I expect them to act like they are not happy getting embarrassed on the ice every night.
Do something.
Anything.

Screw Montour; he's as gutless as the rest of this team. Backed down nicely from a few challenges in this one. He's a Botterill finesse/d-zone liability special!
F-him.

His PC was telling IMO; he is lost. He is totally in over his head and needs to be replaced. I don't think Botterill or Pegula realize this. Things will get worse before they get better.

He was asked if this was an embarrassment. Phil started dancing around and started talking about some questionable calls from the referees, and then commented that our execution was poor. He doesn't have a f-ing clue.
Yeah, there’s no point in firing anyone now just to make a gallant effort towards securing the #13 OA

Disagree. That whole account is a pretty well done parody. He's got Trumps twitter mannerisms down pat.

Besides the Reinhart break out of the penalty box, did the Sabres have a meaningful shot on net all game? The Avs could've played most of that game with no goalie and still win.
Even if they're not going to fight, you would expect a late high hit on the captain to fire up the team rather than put them in a shell.

And when he gets a coaches fired for reasons that really aren’t that harmful, then I’d say Jack’s influence is overboard.
Bylsma’s refusal to engage with his players, to teach them, to interact with them on a more personal level, is what got him fired, and that was after multiple players had the same feeling, and Murray still didn’t want to fire him. It took the owner to get mad at the GM to get him fired. For a coach wanting to have limited involvement with the players that are so young, I’d say that’s a core issue that should be met with a firing, and he works for an owner that Publicly wants interaction throughout his companies. Hell, he wants the Bills and Sabres to be involved and they are in different sports, id say someone not willing to do the same for the team he coaches would not work there long. As they say about the players, if you don’t want to be here, then we don’t want you.
With Housley, it’s an x’s and o’s thing. His player deployment is literally holding back and sort of success. The system, though better than the previous coach, is still poorly utilized on the players of the team. His inability to adjust and adapt to his roster and In-game adjustments(or lack thereof) are core issues that should be addressed with sooner rather than later. If he gets fired, it will be because of that. I’m willing to bet that Jack isn’t the only what that feels that way, it’s just that Jack is the easiest on the team to read his body language and he’s our top player, for now, so we just think HE’s the main reason. His end of the season interview surely will be something Jason thinks about, but I doubt the man that is about patience, and IMO, isn’t worried about games right now, is going to fire him because of Jack wanting him gone.

Housley isn’t going anywhere, JB already confirmed this. I’d be shocked if Housley doesn’t start the year behind the bench.

I don’t think we saw the same game and based on what I’ve seen here, more people saw mine...

The hit got them off their game. Not that they had much game to begin with. They tried to take runs at Av players the entire game and missed. I don’t need goons either but if they are going to play like one then please be good at it. Rob Ray was like come on just fight already at one point which if they were so bent about it then that was probably the appropriate response.

Guys, Benn also hit Eichel from behind into the boards and the team did nothing.
Just like Housley, no heart

With the Benn hit, Eichel jumped right back up and play continued. In that moment I don't see the purpose of going ape on anyone. With Zadorov, Eichel had his helmet come off, indicating head contact, and play stopped, and then two guys jumped him. I don't see any problem with that response in the moment, as Eichel was clearly not hurt or buzzed or whatever.
The problem is that this team can't play good hockey. You can respond by lighting up a team for 3 or 4 goals and winning, just like gooning up and forgetting about the score. The Sabres don't have a roster for gooning up, so why @#$%^ about them for not being that team. I'd rather they do what they can, and play hockey to win, but they're in a mental tail spin now for the last two weeks since they realize the playoffs are out of reach.

Didn't Botts drop the gloves and was somewhat of a tough guy during his career?
He gets it but doesn't get it.
