Phil Housley- hall of famer - softest player ever
About to be fired - hall of famer - never won a Stanley cup

Rick tocchet - Stanley cup champion player and Stanley cup champion assistant coach. - non hall of famer-
Finalist for coach of the year. Tough guy to play against


I would rather have tocchet as our coach

Wayne Gretzky was the best ever. Couldn't coach worth a sh!t

Tocchet wasnt hired because of the involvement in the gambling ring thing. Another Pegula influenced decision

Gotta sell tickets

I'm sure that had something to do with not being hired.

Also , the pegulas wanting dahlin, the Russian or tkachuk.


Phil is perfect for building thru the draft

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Let's not all act as if Housley wasn't at or near the top of most lists of "hot assistants ready to take the next step", though.

Done on purpose to coincide with “more talent”

Not complicated

More TALENT is what will get us where we want to be

Which other teams were after phil housley? How many other interviews with other teams?

The pegulas and russ brandon liked phil.

He is a nice gentleman
A yes sir guy

They had enough of the embarrassment of tmgm
"Slap your pee pee"

Tocchet was jbotts guy.

People forget how messy eichel's contract could have gotten. Phil was a guy that didnt hurt Jack's feelings.
Perfect fit to get dahlin

Would that be because it's their team? Pete Rose was banned for life for being involved in gambling, as have other people from other sports.
I liked Tocchet also, but I get the Pegula's having reservations about handing the keys to a problem gambler. Tocchet is lucky it's the NHL, they have no concrete rules about anything.

Pse is trying to allow gambling in both the key bank center and new era.

Not sure why they would care about tocchets past?

Russ brandon knew phil and his 5 man flying unit offense would sell tickets.

Tocchet was never in the blue and gold club

I believe there were only 2 teams looking for a coach. Housley was at the top of the list for Buffalo, along w Boughner, Berube and Rierden.

We just got Dahlin
Ppl bought tix this year to see him & Eichel

U really think ppl bought tickets to see Housley- and not them?

Plenty of tix would’ve been sold no matter who the coach was

I agree about the swede thing, as for Quenneville, i'm not so sure about him as the sabres coach...for some reason I think Vigneault would be a better fit

I think both would be wonderful choices

Unless Botts’ plan is to tank again next year. Then Phil is the perfect choice.

I'd like to see Lindy Ruff back here for next season in some capacity.

That's all I have to say, I'm out.
