He's day to day so should be. They play on Tuesday and then Friday I think. Be surprised if he misses more than a game or two. 

I hope so. 

The reason I worry is that they originally said Bogosian was day to day, too (and that was just over a month ago now).

Our blue line line has taken a beating so far this year.

Housley said we played well; just got some bad bounces! 

 

F him.  I hated the guy as a player, don't really like him so far as a coach.

 

The rebuild just got at least 3 years longer than it was going to take.

 

Don't expect the playoffs this year or next year.  Maybe in 2019-2020 season.

 

This team will finish bottom 3 for sure.

Regarding Housley as a coach, you can add me to the list of those rapidly losing faith in his ability behind the bench. I'm all for staying positive, but his insistence on polishing EVERY turd is wearing thin. It's an insult to a long-suffering fan base that knows bad hockey when we see it. Simple fact is, we lack talent. Especially on the back end. And I don't expect him to be a miracle worker but some semblance of being able to make an in game adjustment or to maximize the talent he has would be nice. For example, Reinhart has no business centering a third line at this stage; he needs to be a winger next to ROR or Eichel. 

 

I do have faith in Botteril to get it fixed though. It will be interesting to see if Housley is part of that fix or not.
