I realize that this whole thing does not fall on Housleagues shoulders. The constructed roster is flawed and in need for upgrades on both sides, but this team absolutely has enough talent to play .500 hockey. After the 10 game win streak that is all they had to do, play .500 hockey.

They play with ZERO Passion, Heart, Turtle at the first sight of adversity, Don't play a consistent system and that has everything to do with a HC that is in way over his head. They have not scored in over a week. How do they not move on from the entire coaching staff after this year?

I like what he's doing, but they don't need another rookie head coach, do they?
- Michael Pachla


Just think he does well developing young players, which is ultimately what we need.

I get it though, the rookie coach idea hasn't worked well for us here with Rolston and Housley.

Even Phoenix, who has one player the average fan may recognize (OEL), is probably going to make the playoffs. Buffalo has some very talented players.

This is on Phil. I also criticize Botts for not bringing in some quality vets to help lead. Tonto brings in Tavares and Marleau. We have Pominville and Okposo.

Jesus Christ what a dumpster fire.

Sad but I agree Phil has to go... and I've been pretty vocal about it for a while.... I can't believe this season has gotten THIS bad..... it's not all on Housley but he is not helping so..... There we are.

I honestly cannot believe how making the playoffs for either of this cities sports teams has been out of the question for 90% of my adult life.

It’s insane

Hopefully they talked to Q and he wanted take the rest of the season off. Cuz I really don't want to believe that Phil's inability to spark anything in this team wasn't noticed by Bott's until just lately.

On another note. If Jack is a Richard to some in the locker room, who can blame him?

3 more weeks of this horse poop.

I'll remember how fun November was. I expect, nay, demand, a powerful season ending conference from Botterill.

If Terry is to be had at his word, he expects this team to win and hopefully only sticks his nose into Bott's business so much as to just say.. "you sure you want to bring Housley back?"

We are WORSE then last year. But somehow Botts will say we are making progress.

Plus the 5 games he lost last year.

13 missed game checks for a guy that wasn’t making much to begin with.

Let’s just hope he’s learned his lesson and becomes a better man from it.

I'll believe it when I see it. He's probably just editing practice lines to give us false hope.
