Then need a tough coach to get the most out of these guys and let’s face it, it’s not Housley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Disco Dan had a great PP at least. Housely is simply unable to build this team in any way thus far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not in his nature and and would be disingenuous if he preached it. Say what you will, but I agree with ScottySabres. I think Ruff would put more spine in this club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housely is simply unable to build this team in any way thus far. Disco took a less talented team to 78 points... a 20 point improvement. Housley has done zilch. Offense, defense, and special teams are much much worse since he took over. Oh, but Disco's style of play wasn't fun to watch... Well.... are we having fun now? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said last game I’m okay with losing as long as the effort is there. Not a fan of Phil Housley as coach. This team needs a coach that is tough and expects his players to work and work hard. Phil is not the right guy for this team. 5 Head Coaches in 6.1 years is so bad but I agree something has to change............................again. The team skated tonight like they had ankle weights strapped on and their sticks were made out of rubber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no pro head coaching experience.... None. That's not the tyow of guy for a young inexperienced team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 As thrilled as I am having this discussion again, why on earth is it one or another? They needed a change after finishing the last quarter of 16-17 on a 30 point full season pace, and might need one now, and probably should stop hiring trash coaches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I still think Mittlestadt needs a year in Rochester. Help make that team a winning culture that can then carry over. He has a long way to go and needs to win and succeed at this age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Well to be honest at no time in that game did I get the feeling that the Sabres could or would win that game. Even in the 2nd when they generated some chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were certainly given the opportunities, and if we had a decent PP we could have shifted the whole thing even with this effort 5 on 5 but no way, not even close.

Randall Flagg Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I would urge people to rewatch this game, focusing only on the Sharks' 3D Justin Braun. Watch carefully, and ask yourself if Ristolainen is anywhere close to his level as a hockey player, and consider this going forward in our roster evaluations.
