12-5: Phil Housley with Howard and Jeremy on WGR (15:30)
#Sabres head coach Phil Housley joins Jeremy and Sal next for his weekly visit on WGR! Tune in:
Housley - it's good to get some rest, get re-booted, and get some energy as we prepare for the Flyers on Saturday. #Sabres
Housley - I was really pleased with the guys' effort last night, especially coming from Nashville and losing an hour. Just how we started the game and played through and into overtime. I couldn't be more pleased with the effort. #Sabres
Housley - I liked the way we played on the road in some tough buildings against some tough teams. Then to come back home on a short night, they did a great job in front of an energized building. #Sabres
Housley - We've been possessing the puck in overtime. When on the attack, our shot selection is really important. We did an excellent job with that last night. For the most part, we've done excellent at reading the play and knowing when to attack. #Sabres
Housley on Jack Eichel - He's contributed in so many other ways outside of scoring. He wants to score, and I think it was great for him and his confidence moving forward that he scored last night. (1/2) #Sabres
Housley - It can get frustrating for a player who hasn't scored in a while, but he's sticking with the gameplan and playing really well for us. (2/2) #Sabres
Housley - I think the power play has been good this season, except for the last four games. Our special teams was a difference because we weren't winning those battles. We're going to take a look at things tomorrow and in the days leading up to the Flyers on Saturday. #Sabres
Housley - We have to have a better shot mentality on the power play, and we're going to make some changes. #Sabres
Housley on Lawrence Pilut - I think he played a good first game in Florida. Made some mistakes as he got adjusted, but he's played really well over the past two games. He's making the proper adjustments, he plays with confidence, and you can see how he attacks the game. #Sabres
Housley - I think he's only going to get better, and it's great to see his development moving forward. #Sabres
Housley - I believe Casey Nelson is out on a day-to-day basis right now. Jake McCabe is also day-to-day. We'll sit down and re-evaluate everything with the injured players. #Sabres
