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!

Byslma is gone because Crosby got tired of his crap. - SABRES 89
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.

I'm not disagreeing with you but for some reason Bylsma see's it differently. - SABRES 89
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).

toronto has a more talented group of forwards but i agree they are far better coached

Terry should purge the Sabres coaching staff to keep it in line with the Bills.
Oh and we need better defensemen. - IceColdBeer
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

that's a pretty talented third line...am assuming they're not expected to be used in a defensive role
