#Sabres head coach Phil Housley joins Howard and Jeremy right now on WGR! Tune in:
Housley - we're just going to have to get better every day and focus on areas we need to focus on. #Sabres
Housley - Jason Botterill and I talk every day about the roster. We're just going to have to continue to change up the lines, keep things fresh and deal with what we have. #Sabres
Housley - we haven't scored in the last couple of games, but we out-chanced Tampa last night, out-shot them. The bottom line is that we're not scoring. How do we change that? Have to get to the dirty areas and generate chances that way #Sabres
Housley - we're going to have to create more, that's the desperation part of our game. We had chances the past two games, generating shots, but we have to get to the net better. #Sabres
Housley - when Jason and I sat down before the season, we wanted to play a high-tempo game while getting on the attack. At this point of the season, the players and coaches aren't happy with the results. We have to try and put it all together and play a full 60 minutes #Sabres
Housley - we can learn from what happened in the past. Right now, we're in a state where it's been tough mentally. Hopefully this makes us mentally tougher #Sabres
Housley - we continue to evaluate our group every day and figure out how to get better. I believe this personnel can get the job done. #Sabres
Housley - I think we are shooting enough, now we just have to get someone over top of the goalie to make it more difficult for them to see the puck. Goalies are too good in this league. If they can see the puck, they'll stop it. #Sabres
Housley - we're not creating enough bounces because we're not getting to the front of the net. #Sabres
Housley - I thought the PP looked really good last night, first time in about five games we've gotten some great chances. Our net-front guys need to continue to be on top of the goalies, we're waving too much at pucks. #Sabres
Housley - we'll take things day-by-day with Zach Bogosian. We'll see how he gets through the next two practices. #Sabres
