And the Phil era is over... thread can be closed.

Wow that was fast...

I tend to agree but the only way he stays is if he can learn from his mistakes and work on getting guys to be consistent, one way is to keep lines together and keep developing young players.

Phil's biggest problem was constant line juggling and his second was being wed to St Louis players in trade. TT needed Chris Taylor's fixing stuff. The lack of line consistency doomed Mitts and contributed to winter swoon. That being said Mitts continued to develop imo and should be much improved next season. Goaltending needs to be better. Especially in up tempo game. Botts adding Montour's and Borgen's emergence is great. If Sabres can add a center plus draft a big winger/center should be on their way. I am hopeful Aspund and UPL end up with big club next end of year and Laaksonen and Samuelson play some with Rochester. Still unsure about Risto, but I think a backend of McCabe, Montour, Dahlin, Borgen, Pilut, and either Risto, Bogo (one should not be here next year) with Nelson as a 7 is decent. Scandella needs to go... Hunwick as 8th. Risto as others have said is highest value for a trade for 2nd line center. Problem is Housley game time line decisions and inconsistent line juggling. CJ Smith should be up on checking 3rd line or 4th. Looking forward to seeing draft class and Pekar's development.

Binnington emergence is reason Blues are winning. PS watch Rangers go far next year because of Georgiev (sp). Sabres need to develop one.

Talked to a guy last night, our beer league goalie from Jamestown, NY big Nate.. he does think Phil needs to go but wants to keep Chris Taylor with Amerks because of his ability to develop guys. AHL imo if coaching is good allows guys to fix things or strengthen weak spots without NHL speed and pressure. I wonder how fast UPL develops.

Close friend of mine Dan Green died last night due likely to a clot 5 days post up from hip surgery. Died in his sleep. Guy had the ability to make you laugh and cry all in the same sentence.

Very Billsey

That is a lot to ask in one offseason.. make it so.

Coaching D GM B Goaltending 2 parts 1st Semester B+ 2nd Semester D- Defence C+ but improving Forwards C+ lacking depth, experience, talent and chemistry. The last part is on the coach to many moving parts.

Second game of beer league spring season... Go Jameson.. go Sabres

Been watching his last few games closer and he has come a long way learning board work, he has speed and lately hes been showing off his hands. The game is slowing down for him and I expect big things next year. Was hoping for more this year, but I think its there with a good offseason for Casey.

its worse than you think, she hates my driving even when I'm not switching lanes... she does most of the driving and will hold it for full tank of gas... 350 miles in Honda Pilot. I am only allowed 3 hours at a time in non traffic. She knows when Im over 70 miles per hour when napping or in traffic despite the fact she drives the same way. But she cant navigate to save her life even with GPS.... so I make a good co-pilot. Been across country driving with her 5 times.

Exactly, my wife and I made it from NYC to Reno NV in 28 hours straight. Its called perservence, cooler food, roadside pit stops and switching drivers every 5 hours

Fla Universal is awesome, not sure of weather.. great Harry Potter theme also water park and if you stay at hotel on site... water taxis to park and park with marvel comic theme.

Hey we are headed to Galvaston TX... only time of year to visit and cheap. Beaches, history, fishing, noice hotels, biking and we have never been there plus kids are making pit stops in Kansas and Oklahoma... because we are getting them to all 50 states by end of high school, Alaska this summer, next year Hawaii.. PS... KS and OK are worth only pit stops. Ive been there so meeting family 2 days later in Dallas to save vacation days... ps trick is to fly to hub city... cheap tickets then rent a car.

Need pics

So true and they cant keep up with Sabres speed

Find a center for Skinner or get a big winger to put with him and Mitts and viola 2nd line

Linking Olloffson's game more and more... good stick handler.. good speed... heckuv a shot, not bad on the boards and now ice opening up and good passing vision...3-4 good passes in that period.

Coaching...

So??? Sorry you were overlooked but im askin now.

Or make Pilut a winger, bets get back on better than half the team, can stick handle, has a good shot. Move Borgen up for D with McCabe and figure out the third pair. Montour and Dahlin 1st pair. Trade Risto for a center.

If going to Ballmore...go to Fels point for breakfast, funky open air market then cut thru italian bakery section... follow your nose and pick up bread... then go to aquarium
