Phil Housley discussion thread

[Sabre Dance]

Cue the fire Housley and hire Quenneville posts.

They didn't do it yet? What are they waiting for?

 

[TehDoak]

Yup, I'm not anti Housely, but Quenneville brings instant structure and a proven track record. Make it happen.

If they’re shy to fire Phil now, at least
hire Q as a director of Hockey Ops or some other fancy tag, basically having him waiting for the inevitable and taking over for Phil after the season.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Fired coaches win cups. Get him.

I am already on it.

Unfortunately, I would expect St Louis to gas Yeo and sign Coach Q ASAP.

Quenneville and his staff wow

Well, he is an objectively better coach in every way, so yes, it should cue those posts.

Is there really a person in this world who thinks Housley is anywhere near as effective as a coach as Q??

Actually not a bad idea. Housley doesn't deserve it but lock up Q and give him a role in the organization and then he's there if you need him. Plus he could mentor Housley.

Some team is going to get one of the best coaches in hockey, he’s Mike Babcock without the self promotion and actual results...

If LA doesn’t get him first

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Go get him Botts.

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

This is so Buffalo. The Sabres show intermittent signs of hope and growth just as the HC we've wanted for 10 years hits the market....smh.

This is what I am thinking, this firing of coach Q could not come at a worse time for Buffalo since Housley is being saved by Buffalos first positive season in years so far.

The coach carousel timing is always off for Buffalo. By the time management realizes Housley isnt very good at his job no one of credibility will be on the market.

This will be a double whammy. Not only will we not fire Housley, but St. Louis will fire Yeo and replace him with Q, which will harm our draft position.

 

[Reddawg]

Dammit Chicago...

 

[Aladyyn]

I hope Botts looks at our start realistically - our schedule has been very soft.

most likely scenario

 

[Sabre the Win]

The only way Phil can make this a successful season for him is if we get over 80 points from where we were at 2 years ago.

We got a tough stretch of games coming up, this is where we see what Phil has really done.

Right now we have faced a lot of back up goalies and teams near the bottom of the league.

[DapperCam]

Do it Botts... doooo ittttt

 

[darcyRegier]

I would love to get Dineen as an assistant

 

[HaNotsri]

I’d be willing to turn back time and swap 9-2 to 2-9 if it meant that we got Quenneville.
Please Botts, go for it!

 

[Sabre the Win]

Let's take a look...

Canadians on Thursday, we will probably see Price this time and he can do what Lundqvist has done. Then we go against the dynamic offense of Vancouver followed by most likely losses against Tampa, Winnipeg, Minnesota and Pittsburgh

Good chance we come out of the next two weeks 2 and 4 or 1 and 5.

Depressing.
