Brawndo Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) All signs point to Phil Housley being next head coach of the Buffalo Sabres. Question is how soon it will happen. Edited June 15, 2017 by BRAWNDO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Daddy Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Looking forward to having Phil back in Buffalo! Edited June 15, 2017 by G-Daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Does this mean I have to resurrect my "Housley's Heroes" team name in Sabrespace fantasy hockey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Well, it seems like everyone on this board will get their wishes this off-season, with both the GM and head coach. That's...shocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 What kind of system does he run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Would have preferred Tocchet I think. Housley is a gamble, first time HC. But he seems better than some of the other candidates that had been floated (probably meaninglessly, seeing as how Tocchet was apparently the guy and never even got an interview).

Randall Flagg Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 No strong opinion until I see the team play. I'm definitely not upset. I'm hoping he 'gets' Risto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Looked around the internet for a video interview with Housley and couldn't find one. Does he have a personality that's not Disco gray? A sense of humor? I like the concept of Housley the board has built up, but I would love to hear him talk before I go all in.

WildCard Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 @SabresBuzz Housley is going to love being reunited with Jake McCabe, his Captain from Team USA WJC gold medal squad Also, 27 years ago today, Housley was traded from the Sabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he seems better than some of the other candidates that had been floated (probably meaninglessly, seeing as how Tocchet was apparently the guy and never even got an interview). well that's good news..I was worried we'd all be happy with the new GM and coach we wanted but nope...here we the first negative before Howie is even named as the new coach! I personally think GMJBotto & Howie are good additions! What's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
