Fair enough @JohnC, i was just curious. I agree we are not going to change each other's mind, but don't stop posting. I enjoy your analysis and the opposite view.

Hey @JohnC , i know you have not posted here in a while....and I am not being sarcastic. I am curious though if your opinion has changed at all on the Sabres organization, the Coach GM combo, players etc. Not here to argue, but as prolly the lone dissenter in this thread, was curious if this last bit of results has changed your mind at all? Obviously, for this season, there is no reason to make changes, other than to make a point that the results are not acceptable, as Jeremy White has opined. I truly was just curious if your opinion has changed at all. Funny, I was texting my nephew last night...saying do you remember the Titans-Bills game weekend, we went to Ranger _ Sabre game..2nd game of year Sabres win 3-1..but we said cant really take anything from that game as Rangers are tanking this year. Lo and behold Sabres are tied with them now.

Bang on there..good anytime of the year. Avgolemono..(Greek Lemon Soup) also good anytime of the year Beef and Barley in the winter

Housley” we ran into a hot goalie” thompson” we played great without the C” yep, we wonder about the coach and team....not quitting is the expectation in that room now.

This thread is to funny

Well, in terms of number of posts..... most everyone has already checked out of the season. Add in Saturday afternoon , prolly few watching I was only only following the game on Twitter, as I did Thursday as well. No need to watch this mess of a team. I I wonder ,after this last stretch , if the Sabres have earned the 2nd fewest points in the nhl if you exclude the streak. Just amazing to 25 games or so in, they were first in the league. Truly spectacular was has been accomplished here. Season tickets have to crushed no? Lottery win helped keep several people in last year. But damn, 2 years of being at or next to the bottom, can’t blame a single person for not buying.

Outshot 40-10 with 5 minutes left. When you quit on coach... what is the answer?

What did jack do? Anyone have a clip? found it

Damn right going from 2 to 4 is much better when I have options on percentage growth in potato’,,, you know, like the market is.

That is more accurately what I meant...the info is bunk as the so far, the market performance under Trump in his first two years lags market performance under Obama first two years

Was just saying the Feds spending like drunken sailors eventually hits all of us..I thinlk

Top O the morning to all us Sabre fans

your married, your wife goes out and outs $20K on your credit card..it is your problem

to both @TPS and @GG, i enjoy the debate and appreciate you guys putting in the time and effort. Helps me understand this stuff better. And not to overcomplicate things, but we now learn we have the largest trade deficit in history. Is that something to be concerned with? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/trump-promised-to-shrink-the-trade-deficit-instead-it-exploded/2019/03/05/35d3b1e0-3f8f-11e9-a0d3-1210e58a94cf_story.html?utm_term=.5571fa90607d

I think football is a completely different animal. Different schemes require different players, terminology changes, route concepts change, etc...lots of things change and I would think about 10X more complex than hockey. Very rarely do you see a coaching change mid-season make a difference in football, while it happens all the time in hockey. I don't think "continuity" behind the bench means jack squat..I do agree a bit on GMs..a bit, and would give JBOTTS one more year with a new coach. I mean look at Carolina and the Isles just as an example..new GM and coaches in each place..they did not need 3 years to have an impact, it was immediate. I heard someone the other day on GR speculate the Islanders are playing so well and look like they are always outworking the other team cause Trotz "system" is easy, the players play free cause they know exactly where to be and whats expected etc. And he is doing it with supposed lesser talent, as is Julien. Now if he could do that in 20 games, why cany Housley get that done in 150 games? If his system is that complicated it takes 3 years to teach, we gots an issue!!! I asked the other day and I am truly stumped if there has been a coach in any of the 4 major sports that had as poor a record as Housley has( tank teams excluded) and went on to success with that team ...thus proving continuity has its rewards. I can't think of any..even in the NFL. I can certainly point to the flip side of that, where coaches were retained in the name of continuity, and teams instantly got better with a new coach. My point is I think 'continuity" is an old adage we grew up with that has somehow maintained its relevancy even though it is no longer applicable. People look at winning teams and say "hey look..the coach has been there a while, that's why they are winning. I say "hey look, we have a coach who wins, let's keep him around" Kinda like hits in hockey...remember when we thought more hits was a good thing???

ya lost me here..the government did not reduce spending correct? Is this not akin to a person saying I have more money to spend cause I got a new credit card?

@JohnC would love to get your take on why coaching changes hurt in the NHL. and , looks like Skinner gunna at least hit FA, and I assume he wants out of this mess as well. So, that should make for a fun summer

So, just listening to Travis Yost on GR. Must say, @JohnC may have some points. He puts a huge blame on the goalie”s for the last two months. Says 3 more wins minimum if goalies play to league average save percentage at 5-5( adjusted for shot location, danger etc ) he went on to say say he defends Housley by saying Roster is not playoff ready. However, in his words “ not an A effort” on either side.

$150? Damn, I was in the body shop business then. Cobal progtammera charged us $100/hr, we billed $250 hr.
