Beer Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 2 hours ago, LGR4GM said: I building a Housley Hole. It is like the Bogo Bunker but we don't have food and you're just constantly annoyed. It is just a hole with a tarp over it and one coleman lantern inside on an old crate. We do have beer, lots of beer, all the beer. Is it alright if this beer joins your beers in the Housley Hole? The nerd in me finds this very hobbity. Just got back from a week and a half in Amsterdam. Boy I love the Dutch and their liberal ways. Their beer selection is terrible however (death by green bottles), thankfully some of the Belgian stuff makes it’s way there. Must win tonight... and from here on out. A slow start after the AS break all but kills our hopes of the playoffs. Happy that hockey is back. Go Sabres! Let’s see a W for the good guys tonight. beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I agree that I would rather see Pilut in the line-up than Scandella... He did string together some rather rotten games before the break.

Sheltered isn't only who you are playing against. Sheltered is where you play (zone) and who you play against (QoC).... Pilut is certainly not sheltered when paired with Risto.

CallawaySabres Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 With the whole Pilut thing, you either think he is going to generate enough offense to help with a goal or two.......or you are worried that for multiple times in a game, a guy is left wide open in front our our net. How do you decide is what Housley is probably thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozone starts shelter you from having the more difficult task of gaining d zone possession against scoring talent, transitioning the puck, and establishing ozone possession. Low Quality of Competition shelters you from getting your dominated by top line talent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 After seeing Pilot on that west coast trip this does not surprise me. I think he will be back when the 5 other guys show they are going to play better but two rookies in the top 6 is a lot, even if one is Dahlin Hunwick over Beaulieu is a mild surprise. On a a business trip. I’ll be streaming WGR from my room. Looking forward to another win streak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I look at Housley not playing Pilut against a heavy physical forecheck team as reasonable. Using Hunwick over Baloo who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
