in that respect, well played

I don't subscribe to the notion that Bylsma is a magic man who has a cup ring and is guaranteed more. However has is the better than a tired Lindy Ruff, Ron Rolston or Ted Nolan.

Bylsma said himself that most of the players he worked with were basically established or just on the cusp of turning the corner. I think the work he did with Staal to be successful while Crosby and Malkin were out is something to note though. Maybe even Letang to try to round out his game (likely this was an assistant coach though).

Correct... but you guys will quickly tire of "Disco Dan's" preference of old slow veterans over young payers, head scratching lineups and refusal to modify his system even when its clear as day not working (And that's with Crosby... Malkin ... Letang ... Maatta et....

Maybe he's learned... I hope you guys don't find out the hard way....
