I wasnt. It was rhetorical. Say what you want about lindy but he really didnt take poop from anyone.
Coaching philosophies and systems are great and all, but give me a guy that isnt afraid to tell it how it is and rip into someone while hes doing it, especially his own players if need be. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fjxL1Rn3cH0

You catch Housley's post game presser? He didn't say anyone's name, but he called the entire team out for playing like they'd rather get points than play defense, and that they're going to win games 1-0 if they have to.

I'm paraphrasing but Phil Housley just said there are players on his team that believe getting points is more important than playing defense #Sabres @WKBW
This is coming from Phil Housley.....oy - Sabresfan-365
We need a stable, young, defensive minded, amazing first pass out of the zone, rested from hanging out on the beach for the past two years type of defenseman
I'm sure you all do, I'm sure you do. Don't forget your $300.00 Blue Sabre Sweaters to keep your heard warm. I'm sure Mr and Mrs Pegula would want that. Don't want to not follow the plan. - mark19

I get what he's saying, but the Sabres score the fewest goals in the league, and the D is pretty porous. I'd rather they call up Amerks and let then learn how to score in the NHL, and we'll worry about that pesky defense thing next year.
There are 5 or 6 forwards on this team who are guaranteed not to score

Guhle is going to be a monster if he can add a couple lb's and get a little coaching. What raw talent, the skating is great, but his passing seemed to be fantastic as well.
In other news: Did anyone notice my boy Reinhart flying out there yesterday? Multiple chances, a self made breakaway...it's like he knows he's being traded soon.

I’m so tired of ROR. He is so damn over rated
Sabres down 5-1
Ryan O’Reilly “Guess I’ll start playing now!”What a leader
I’m so tired of this team outside of Eichel. - sbroads24
Blind hate.
Eichel's goal at 5-1 was an ROR assist.
ROR had the same points as your annointed one last night.
And when the coach says "we have guys who are only worried about scoring points and not playing the defensive part of the system" he is [b]not talking about ROR.

I used to be a Ryan O’Reilly supporter but this is getting ridiculous he got paid that mega contract and what has he done after his first season with us ?

Lol he gets the same amount of goals/points/plays the same role at the same level but the team hasn't gotten better

He makes $7.5M per year.
Scored the same points as Eichel last night. Eichel makes $10M/year. ROR plays a complete 200 foot game.
Jack is untouchable, ROR is junk.
(PS I do believe the first part. I don't believe the second.)

I think the concern, from my perspective, about any player on this team is that the effort is not there consistently. If ROR was only able to turn it on when the game was out of hand, that's concerning.
If players are only worried about their own stats, that's more concerning.
Someone needs to be the leader of this team to get them on some sort of track.

Reasons people don't want him on the team:
Makes 7.5 mil
Has rehearsed speech for losses
Scores at the wrong times
Goes 10-15 games once a year without a goal
Has not made playoffs
Has not made Pouliot/okposo/Reinhart elite
Reasons to keep him:
3rd best offensive forward
Best defensive forward
Makes 7.5 mil and is one of the better 2nd line centers in the league
Let's trade the guy who is good because other people on the team suck
