Phil Housley discussion thread 2

[Chainshot]

There is actually a significant trust the process group. Many are STH's and members of the Sabres Booster Club. They think Housley needs another year with a more talented team and that it's important he remain to provide stability and continuity. As far as they're concerned the plan is on schedule.

Shot me now.

 

[Moncton man]

Dear Buffalo Sabres, most of my life I've lived in the Niagara region, Canadian side. I've recently relocated to New Brunswick. If you can't or won't pull the plug on Phil, I can always pull the plug on you!

oh who am I kidding, you're bad for me but you're in my veins.

Still, can you can Phil for me? Pretty please?

I mean Housley can win with a better roster and an actual good goalie.

He's lost more with a better roster than Bylsma. Stop defending this assclown. He's not an NHL coach and needs to be shown the door.

You give the Sabres Carey Price they make the playoffs.

You give the Sabres Carey Price they make the playoffs.

You give the Sabres Barry Trotz, they make the playoffs.

I mean if Ullmark decides not to stop the puck with a diving headbutt maybe they do.

 

[EmeraldCitySabre]

Housley stays and that will save me a lot of money next season.

Take away Hasek and the Sabres don't make the playoffs during the entire time Ruff was their coach.

Not unless having Price also completely changed how they played for 2/3rds of the season. I mean, it would have to some degree, but they were awful besides between the pipes. They need a better goalie and goalie coach, but they also need an NHL head coach. There is no argument.

Who are these goofballs, why would they have any sway on a hockey decision as important as noticing this coach is ridiculously bad, and most importantly, are they okay after the apparent coma they've all been in since we lost 4-0 on opening night, and recovered from in time to see the last two games and the overall standings?

This is looking eerily similar to the Josh Allen lead up last year. Almost all posters were against Allen leading up to the draft, then when they took him there was a lot of shock and disbelief that we traded up for him. Same thing is happening with Phil. Everyone is hoping he will get fired but it just isn't going to happen. Everything has pointed to him staying.

 

[flashsabre]

If Housley stays then the Pegulas are going to get a REAL rude awakening when the SEason ticket renewals don't come in.

 

[Montag DP]

I'm saying bye to Phil one way or another, because I doubt I'll watch another game with him behind the bench.

 

[BananaSquad]

Hey I want Phil gone to, but if we had a little more scoring depth and some actual NHL goaltending night to night this wouldn’t be a discussion right now.

Phil would have benched the scoring depth and played Sobotka instead.

 

[old kummelweck]

I hope people are mentally preparing themselves.

 

[Royal Thunder]

He still would make terrible lineup decisions that don't maximize our talent. He still would ignore analytics. He still would get outcoached thoroughly by every coach in the league. Seriously, I can't remember him making a single positive in-game adjustment all year, and he sure as hell cant counter when other teams adjust. He barely even line matches. Having him calling the shots is a massive disadvantage in every game we play.

 

[Der Jaeger]

I don't think he gets fired. Sucks.

Man to man defense is terrible.

Breakout is terrible.

Just on system, he should go.

 

[joshjull]

Botts you can do it too

 

[BuffaloGooner]

If they keep him I don’t know if I can stomach watching the beginning of next year until he’s gone.

 

[joshjull]

Botts you can do it too

Yeah, it would. The Sabres having more talent doesn't all of a sudden make Phil a better coach. I wanted him gone during the 10 game winning streak.

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Shit. And I can absolutely see Quenneville going to Florida. Dale Tallon loves him some Q.

Phil needs to go. Today. There hasn't been any evidence indicating they're going to fire him, but there is no rationally sound argument to keep him.

In my most chill Ice Cube impersonation...

Bye PHILicia
