Byslma is gone because Crosby got tired of his crap.

Unfortunately I didn't see the game. Too bad they couldn't keep the positive momentum from the previous 3 games. Obviously tonight is a must win.

Disco has to get better wingers for Jack. Foligno and Gionta aren't going to cut it.

- SabreWest


That had to be the worst idea I can imagine for Jack's line mates, Jack and Samson have vision together,

Jack & Sam (Dan can pull or play w/third man on line)

ROR & Okposo (Dan can choose third)

Gionta & Foligno

Risto & McCabe

Bogosian & Fedun

He did the same thing on a team with SIDNEY (frank)ING CROSBY, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang... Yeah, I'd say he probably isn't great at maximizing the abilities of his players.
- BINGO!

Defense, good goaltending, and hope the puck takes a funny hop on one our 1000 dump ins and beats their goalie. everything out. everything deep. dump and change. don't carry the puck, no dekes or neutral zone passes. now let's go win!

we don't have a Crosby. jack is the closest and he's already mouthed off. will anybody else step up? our current captain is too busy not talking to any media and flexing his Napoleonic complex all over the place. maybe risto or lehner can evil stare bylsma into retirement.

Because of Bylsma and his style of coaching and his constant line juggling.

I'm not disagreeing with you but for some reason Bylsma see's it differently.

Moulson had a couple nice plays offensively and his breakup on the 2-on-1 was terrific. Maybe his best game of the year.

Can we please keep Fedun?

Didn't get Bishop moving laterally enough.

The lack of obstruction calls is ridiculous. I took a picture of one against Eichel that was absolutely flagrant

- jcragcrumple


Sure is, and there were many that were pathetic.

The Bruins games were rife with them.

I wish they were all called, and I say that knowing full well it likely means they lose even more than they are now with their incomplete roster.

He's gotta go. Just imagine next year, with Bailey and probably Baptiste here full time. He doesn't handle young guys well. He's an old school coach. Even Lindy loosened up the game plan a bit according to his talent (except afinogenov, he didn't handle him too well imo). He wants smart, structured hockey, which is fine when we're up 3-0, but this is not a veteran driven team. it's the kids team and should be coached accordingly (a la Toronto).

Terry should purge the Sabres coaching staff to keep it in line with the Bills.


Oh and we need better defensemen.

risto also needs to stop watching video of tyler myers and McCabe needs some to recover from the hit he laid on laine...but maybe more importantly, they need to score more and it starts with forwards who can find space for a breakout pass and can keep said pass on their sticks
