He will play in the XFL

- homiedclown

Exactly. The AAF came out of nowhere to try and beat the XFL and failed horribly. The XFL is doing it right with the guys they are bringing in and have WAY more money. Can't wait.

Kinda of a tough job for those guys, yet I still believe if you're going to bash him publically then have the courage to stand up in front of him and tell him to his face what your specific issues are and allow him to have his say.
But, as you say they throw up questions that are more general in nature and hide behind the "critics say..."...how about just saying,
"Phil from what I have seen on ice I have these issues"

Another thing, on The Instigators yesterday a caller asked them to na e names when being g harsh about not being able to play the system...
Nope, neither had the balls to do it, they hid behind you should know what your watching.
That us BS in my mind.

By watching, you can definitely tell. And really, it comes down to most of the players we want out of here. Including half the defense.

8. My sense is Sabres GM Jason Botterill does not want a coaching change. That would make five bench bosses since Lindy Ruff was fired in February 2013. It’s too much, and the problem is bigger than Phil Housley. But the pressure is mounting and, as the season grinds to an end, results are getting worse. (Even if something does happen, it seems certain that roster surgery is coming with it.)

It may come down to what the Sabres think their options are. If they cannot attract one of the free-agent heavyweights, I’m curious to see how much of a look is given to their AHL coach, Rochester’s Chris Taylor. The Americans are very good, with key prospects showing improvement. Botterill was part of three Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh won by coaches promoted from the AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre.

Two things:

1) If Botts doesn't fire Housley the day after the season ends, he needs to get canned as well
2) no to Chris Taylor. No more "young coaches learning on the job" - to paraphrase Pegula. Hire me Q or V. That's it.

Lot being said about how Q/V are poor at roster utilization and player development.

OMG... is that a flaming cupcake?

Seriously, Roy was the man. That guy was ripped but was major cocky. That gong show YouTube video showed that he a major party cottage with bunkies for all the party people to sleep over. And a Ferrari.

Didn’t like how he tried to shut ruff up and get everyone tot he toga party though.

Most people think Blashill has the Wings headed in the right direction and he came up from Grand Rapids.

Of course, the Wings this year look a lot like the Sabres did last year (under Phil).

In the end, all that matters to me is results. Q has won the cup 3 times. V took two different teams to the finals and won coach of the year. I could care less if they put Eichel on defence and Bogo at #1C, as long as their madness produces results.

I don’t think we can risk a high draft pick when we have zero backup

I think you go safe and take Alex Turcotte zero chance he bust he will be a star

Always important to state all the facts and not leave ones out like the bolded. So, as stated a few times before, he's either KHL (soon) or NHL. There's no in between.
