Hurts?
No. Having Robin Lehner on this team hurt.
That’s the truth.
Untrue - Lehner's stats were far more detrimental than team-wide metrics that one would associate with a coach's effect. I believe @Chainshot has the details? I might have the wrong poster though.Having Housley as the coach hurts more.

How does that disprove any of what I said?Lehner is gone and Housley is still here.
And Tennyson is taking the warmup.

And Tennyson isn't in the lineup.
I guess we're into semantics now, but replying with "Housley hurts more" to someone who said that having Lehner hurt the team read to me like the direct comparison that I was talking about.My reply was to saying Lehner on the team hurts.
I was pointing out that Housley hurts more because he is still here and Lehner is gone.
How did your reply have anything to do with that fact?

30. We are seeing earlier goalie pulls than normal at the start of this season. It’s not unusual to see nets empty with three minutes to go. This is something analytically inclined minds have been pushing for years. But the bigger storyline might be if it means front offices are taking more control of coaching strategy. We’ve seen that in baseball, where the manager is now an extension of the GM as opposed to an independent mind. There’s always been a separation of church and state in hockey. Is that line blurring?
So, how much rope does he get? He's gotta be the worst NHL coach I've ever witnessed. Surely Botterill must realize how bad he is by now.
Repressed memories.So do you not remember Rolston? I do. He was way worse IMO.
Yes, I know. My question was more of a plea / expression of exasperation than anything.As far as your question ... that’s been answered by a lot of people in this thread. I think he’ll be here at the least .... thru the end of November, probably into December. If they turn it around ... then even longer.
As crappy as we’ve been tonight we came into the game over .500. Which shouldn’t be much of an accomplishment but with what we’ve been for 5+ years it is. So I imagine it would take a prolonged stretch of games like this for Phil to be in trouble.So, how much rope does he get? He's gotta be the worst NHL coach I've ever witnessed.

Of course Rolston didn't belong behind an NHL bench but he had nothing to work with. He had crap and produced crap. Phail Housley has far more to work with and has produced even greater levels of failure and sucktitude. Compare this team to Montreal. Hell, compare this team to f***ing Ottawa. Both look freaking light years ahead of us right now and it's completely f***ing embarrasing. I'm just fed up with this crap.So do you not remember Rolston? I do. He was way worse IMO.

Worked for the Islanders fans in getting rid of that fat stupid oaf Garth Snow, just saying.Is anyone considering putting billboards up around town that say fire Housley... Because I would chip in.
