Confirmed with Link: HOUSLEY GONE

[CrazyPsycho]

Any word on the assistants?

Im assuming we have to wait till 430

 

[jBuds]

I was wrong.

Same

 

[joshjull]

 

[Intermission]

Watch them jump up Tuesday to boot

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Did the Pegulas AND Botterill do this? Or was this Botts on his own initiative?

 

[Buffaloed]

They should do a welfare check on Sobotka.

 

[Duddy]

Amazing.

 

[joshjull]

I think St.Louis is key here for Q. If they stay with Berube, then it becomes clearer.

I don’t think the Blues are going to matter. Reports are that Q is all but signed to shrugs deal in Florida. I’d be surprised if we get in the mix this late. I also seriously doubt the Blues fire Berube at this juncture with the playoffs around the corner so they can get in on Coach Q

 

[CrazyPsycho]

I mean theres a high chance pegula was in on hiring housley maybe they give botts his own guy this time

 

[MtlsabresFAN]

The team gave up on him so I totally agree with the firing. I think Alain Vigneault would be a good fit.

The players and they knew two games ago..

I thought housley was going to be coach before a Botts was hired.

 

[joshjull]

They should do a welfare check on Sobotka.

He may be happier than most.

Forced into a role you are suited to and can’t handle doesn’t sound like a fun year.

 

[SabreOil]

Please hire someone with nhl head coaching experience

 

[slip]

Please hire someone with nhl head coaching experience

Or AHL. Or ECHL. Basically anything above high school.

 

[JThorne]

I can breathe again!

 

[GellMann]

Did the Pegulas AND Botterill do this? Or was this Botts on his own initiative?

I have no idea, but I'm praying Botterill was forced to be compliant with the Housley hire, and this symbolizes the Pegulas admitting their mistakes and turning it over to Jason who hires a good coach

 

[GellMann]

And I'm glad they did this BEFORE exit interviews with the players, just to stave off the obnoxious "Jack is a coach killer" junk.

 

[Icicle]

Oh shut up Stimson.

 

[Baccus]

Whoops...wrong thread.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Snow is an odd twist.

Barkov for Risto plus..thanks garth

 

[JThorne]

Pretty please, whoever(whomever?) they do hire, please don't say that he's a fantastic hire that you've always wanted, etc. Don't pump up the hire beyond imagination again. Just be realistic. Stop with the lip service. I guess that goes for everything management/ownership says about this team. Just be upfront about the organization.
