Not sure if serious, but that rule went away. So, no.

true...just after buffalo got hosed...kinda like the foot in crease rule

Many will complain this is a "nostalgia" move. It's not. It's a solid hockey move.

When I was young, I remember people running Housley out of town, so idk if this would be under nostalgia.

honestly, i think the more challenging/interesting hire will be who he brings in for rochester.

For some reason this one has a lot more steam though. It is everywhere. But still not going to happen. I think the main reason this year is Chicago has to do something. So many players with NMC limits them on what they can do. I wouldn't be surprised if they move a big name. Just not to us.

The only concern I have about Housley is his lack of pro coaching experience at any level. His first season coaching other than high school was in 2013 with the US World Junior team, which he completed admirably. After that, he has only been an assistant coach in the NHL for 4 seasons. That's not a lot of time spent learning the craft. I like the hire, but if it does not work out, the experience factor will probably be the reason.

Lindy Ruff.

IF we did get Kane though... we would have the best nickname for a line in the NHL.

The CO-Kane line. Speeds up the heart

when hajt retired, in 87

there was no real defensive d men other than ramsey on the roster

barasso's numbers show it, plus he was a tad off the last few years in town

hopefully our gm will fix that problem for the goalies this coming season
