The players get the blame for losing. The coaches get the blame for the effort and the GM gets the blame for assembling this trash.

- cabin

Huh? Is that the best you can come up with?


You said "coaches don't score goals. Think about that the next time you post."

That has to be the most idiotic post considering we are the worst team in the NHL since the beginning of January and you feel its the players fault.

That is your post not mine.

Holy crap. Really ? Every game could be a win /lose depending on what team shows up. If your such an expert,(wrong description) why are you here on a hockey blog and not on the Sabres payroll ?

Cab..... I agree with you and understand things this way... Although there was some effort tonight the players did not finish... It is the coaches job to have the players in a mindset so they have the ability to perform and finish in every situation.... Housely has failed miserably at this.

My advice, start drinking heavily

Started . TWD on DVR in a few . my girl hates the commercials so we wait 30 min

St. Louis is like, the opposite of Buffalo this season.

They started off sucking and are now riding a 10-game win streak to the playoffs.

We started off with a 10-game win streak and are now riding the worst record in the East to a top-10 pick.

Coaching is like wine. You can make bad wine from great grapes, it’s impossible to make great wine from bad grapes.
- TheHank

So:

Phil turns great (grapes) players into bad wine (team)

Phil cant turn bad players (grapes) into great wine (team)

I like the analogy, not sure if I have it right though?

This team simply does not look like a team. You do not see Anyone stickup for each other last game showed a lot when This team let Kyle fight, really showed there is no team gutless heartless... Soft team soft coach. Also no way Skinner comes back .

That's a section of Hamburg (BlankeNese)?

Is that like the Lockport of Hamburg?

That’s why the season is 82 games long.

So:

Phil turns great (grapes) players into bad wine (team)

Phil cant turn bad players (grapes) into great wine (team)

Yes sir. Coaching can prevent a great team from being great.

Yes Ray I agree. At some point the players will score just out of what they have been programmed since they were 4 . hard call either way. Coach has a bunch to do with the development of the players . Phil has fallen from my fave as coach list .

Why not? Does he walk on water?

The GM was never going to be able to completely remake the roster into a top quality one quickly.

Did you watch the 3rd period? Did you think they were lacking in effort? It sure didn't look that way.

They were lacking in finish, big time.

Good post

Jack Eichel now has 2 more points than Ryan O'Reilly.

Let that sink in for a minute.

I'll say it again: Jack Eichel is NOT a top-25 player in the NHL.

Yes sir. Coaching can prevent a great team from being great.
- TheHank

getting to that point of the team.

BUT: improvement over last season..........

I would rather have a more experienced coach going forward .

Hope 69 is satisfied with this comment

Saw that live. Hilarious. Who asked him that question?
- TheHank

Deep down you know the answer to that question, it rhymes with Pike Farrington.

Edit: Late.
