[jucebox]

Housley exhibited nice coaching tonight!

first time for everything

Housley throwing Sobotka/Thompson out constantly against Barzal could've easily cost us the game..but whatever.

Well we won so it was obviously a great strategy.

He's certainly done wonders with Lehner's save percentage.

I'd give more credit to Lehner getting his life in order and off a self-destructive path.

He is never coming out, sorry.

OT, but reading that made me think of the South Park Scientology episode and the "Tom Cruise, come out of the closet!" vignette.

Why isnt he playing the Young players ?
Pilut. Olofsson....

The answer is: Vet Heart Heart X O X O

Anyone know how long the contract he signed is

Too long.

The Instigator Podcast 7.19 – Evaluating Housley

Thanks for posting this, it's been some time since I listened to the 2ITB guys, but I really enjoyed this one. I thought it was a really balanced conversation with many, many astute observations, including considerations to the role that Botts plays, the analytics dept, and the players view/locker room impact on Housley's coaching decisions.

How do the Sabres use analytics?
The article is from last year. I don't think anything has changed.

Phil Housley should at least get credit for making Vlad Sobotka feel loved like his own son.

 

[debaser66]

Ruff was coach for more than a decade.
Gotta spend that firing credit!

 

[Ness]

Thoughts on Alain Vigneault? He’s still out there

 

[Samsonite23]

Seriously, what is up with this organization consistently hiring trash coaches? It never ends.

 

[Chainshot]

Tick tock.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Next game is a big one for Phil, if you call your team out and they dont show up.....

 

[Sabre the Win]

I fear we keep Housley for next year, then he performs worse because he has no 10 game win streak to hang onto and throws away another year of ELC's and the Eichel before we get rid of him mid season; and just to top it off coach Q is already gone by then.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Fire the buffoon!

 

[Club]

I hate to say it, but he's way too soft. And I'm definitely leaning towards him being gone in the near future.

[Aladyyn]

We're almost 60 games into the season and Sobotka/Thompson are still on the roster.

I don't like Housley. But the problems with this team run deeper.

Seriously, what is up with this organization consistently hiring trash coaches? It never ends.

The owners hire trash coaches because they usually hire trash GMs. They hire trash GMs because they have no idea what they're doing and won't hire someone that does to oversee the hockey/football operations.

 

[Tatanka]

Post this in another thread but more appropriate here. The team is a reflection of its coach, his system, and utilization. Housley saying the team is soft is the equivalent of ROR’s “love of the game” comment. Your move GM Bobblehead.

 

[stokes84]

Quenneville would be a big catch, but we need someone who has a proven track record and has won. This is where Pegula-bucks should make a difference.

 

[Sabreality]

I mean would anyone balk at just giving Steve Smith the interim tag to limp out the rest of this year, sooner Phil goes the better

 

[CatsforReinhart]

When Benn hit Eichel and Housley did nothing I will never defend Housley again after that.

Its a disgrace and I am wording it kindly. It makes me sick to see how soft our team is.

 

[Pandora LiVecchi]

Sabres need Quennville!

 

[Moskau]

Boudreau would be a better choice for this team if we're going the retread route.
