JB says it’s good communication and good practices.

The lovers are ridiculous at this point.

Ror was a good player here. I liked him.
He needed to go because of this comments.
He wanted to be traded.


What don't you understand? Or what are you trying to prove?

No, he didn't need to go because of the comment he made.

We don't know that he wanted to be traded.

Yeah. It's translated well into gameplay.

Personal opinion. JB will never fire HCPH. Only way that happens is if the Pegulas fire JB.

Botts definitely doesn’t want to fire Phil, but I’m guessing he would to save his own job.

Maybe. I still don't see him doing it. Again my opinion. I just don't know if he would.

I’m fully prepared to see Phil behind the bench all of next year. Cuz, why not? JB might like the top ten in that draft too.

If Botts doesn't fire Housley at the end of the season then he deserves to be fired as well.

What JB really needs to do is cut ties with the dead weight at any cost.

He needs to find some talent to work with the core. Be it D or second line center or a winger.

I'm not sure if JB has the guts to let Okposo walk. That's the type of stuff he needs to do.

Okay Sabres, you are now the eighth worst and only three points away from being the fifth worst. Watch out Ottawa, your chances of earning the first round pick are dwindling every day. If you really have no chance at winning the cup then you should at least create better chances of winning good hockey players. Good job Housley...you are seeing the big picture and act so clueless that everyone is believing it. Diabolically clever!

Botts is very patient. Phil has never been a head coach before. So he might believe Phil needs more time to get his legs under him. And he’s very positive. He’s gonna put a very sunny spin on the season.

If they finished with a 10 game winning streak vs one in November then perhaps there is a good spin that Botts can put on this season. I was a huge Botts fan but this has been an unmitigated disaster since that 10 game winning streak. Either Housley goes or they both go. Housley cannot survive this disaster.

You actually might be right. I’d be mildly surprised if Phil is fired. But if the Pegulas and JB think that’s whats needed to keep season tickets renewed, and/or a price increase, then it’s a possibility.

You can’t sell tanks for 5 straight years. And after a while, people wonder why it’s still necessary. So it’s either bad planning or bad execution.

I heard there's a 12 year old out of Moosejaw he likes the look of.

Why on earth would Nelson choose to go with Ferland? What a weird thing for him to try.

Because he punked out when Eichel got hit so he needed to “prove himself” or something stupid.
