26CornerBlitz Posted December 13, 2017 Author Posted December 13, 2017 12-13: PHIL HOUSLEY ON WGR (9:20) #Sabres head coach Phil Housley joins Jeremy right next on WGR! Tune in: Housley - we went on our road trip and playing some very good hockey teams. We had some ups and downs, but it was great to see the response last night at home. Hope to keep this moving forward. #Sabres Housley - I thought last night was one of our best offensive zone games. We all worked together as a unit. That's the type of game we want to play. But we still need to have more of a shot mindset. #Sabres Housley - Earlier in the year, I don't think we were coming back hard into our zone, hard into a breakout. Sometimes guys weren't working hard enough, but when we we are doing the right things, you can see the type of game we can play. #Sabres Housley - It's a good thing to see guys wanting to compete more with more players returning to the lineup. It's good for a team to have that competition. #Sabres Housley - when Bogosian returned, it added depth to our lineup. He's a powerful skater, has poise with the puck. You can see what kind of player he really is. I like the way he has come back. #Sabres Housley - We have to worry about ourselves and how we approach each game, but we're starting to close ground. Now we're starting to catch some of these teams in the standings, climbing the ladder. #Sabres

njbuff Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Devils dodged a major bullet by not losing Hall for any significant time. TH is about as important to his team as any player on the planet.

Tiberius Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Nathan Beaulieu still out? That flu must of just ruined him.
K-9 Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 8 minutes ago, Tiberius said: Nathan Beaulieu still out? That flu must of just ruined him. Not as much as his boneheaded plays have ruined him. Easy to see why nobody in Moanrayall was sorry to see him go.
