Dan Bylsma coached two different teams with completely different players this year and both showed no heart when faced with adversity in high pressure situations.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

They really better never let him near Team USA again.

 

[Socreges]

We'll take one Bylsma plz

I think he'd be a better fit than Torts for sure, but I'm still not optimistic that this team can compete either way. They're going to need an interesting trade/signing or two and the emergence of at least two young prospects. Oh and Lack to play like he did when there was much less pressure on him.

Not too much to ask, guys!

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Dat Bishop trade tho

Anderson was having a career year, but a lot of analysts did say bishop is the real deal, so I don't know what happened there...if you feel bad about it, what about the Blues?

 

[ZeroGravity]

I don't understand how Bylsma always seemed to get more out of his team when Crosby and Malkin weren't in the lineup.

Bishop / Elliott or Allen would have solved a lot of horseshit over the last several years.

Definitely a team lacking identity right now. If they're going to play a speed and skill game they need a coach that is experienced enough to handle adversity, bring along young players, yet can also let the veterans solve their own problems.

I don't understand how Bylsma always seemed to get more out of his team when Crosby and Malkin weren't in the lineup.

Maybe they put too much on those two. If they're injured someone else has to step up.

He should win the Vezina in my eyes this year. I was not surprised the Lightning lost without him.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Weird the Pens are holding Bylsma. By time they get a GM and make a choice there might not be a NHL coaching job open.

 

[Coldnoodle]

He likes his grinders.

 

[ActStriker]

Matt Fraser had a broken foot.

Ahhh the Ottawa Senators Spezza Scenario.

 

[Red_Man]

No way the new GM keeps Byslam anyways, they're just delaying the inevitable.

I don't understand how Bylsma always seemed to get more out of his team when Crosby and Malkin weren't in the lineup.

I think it has more to do with the fact that when your team doesn't have two of the best players in the world to carry it, the rest of the roster realizes they need to pick their game up.

Montreal will drop quite a bit in these rankings once Beaulieu and Tinordi "graduate".

 

[Red_Man]

Once I'm instated as the new GM I think I'll keep Bylsma

Pierre today when asked about interest in the job

No. Honour matters to me, and I'd never do that to a friend.

 

[zroid]

I hope Grand Rapids manages to best Texas; Marlies vs. Griffins should be a fun series

 

[Razorskin]

DTA, you stupid son of a bitch. Don't Trust Anybody.

 

[pringles]

Isn't this compiled by Hfboards posters?

Thankfully it's not.

 

[Acid08]

I clicked on that thinking "huh I wonder where in the bottom ten we'll be" and came away pleasantly surprised were not in the bottom five.

Spoiler

we should be, our AHL team is trash

 

[zroid]

Memorial Cup is starting, between Val d'Or and London. The Val d'Or goalie is a Leafs prospect!

Michael McCaron is going to light him up!

If anyone's going to light him up, it'll be Ryan Rupert, clearly.

edit: Bibeau's looking pretty good

just almost let in a goal from the other end of the rink lol

yeeeeeeeaaaaaaah... :>

 

[pringles]

Mantha with a beauty.

 

[zroid]

Flyers 2nd rounder goalie getting out-played by the Leafs 6th rounder.


Oh yeah and Mantha's good too



edit: Sorry Samyy looks like the Marlies are sweeping another one :lol

 

[sazabirules]

I'd be okay with Shero as our new GM. I'd take Bylsma as well if he gets let go.

God dammit
Guess I'll just go see Godzilla instead

Better option anyways.

 

[Coldnoodle]

I don't want Shero

Dude can't draft for diddly.

 

[DopeyFish]

Isles are being bought for $400 million? HOW?

They don't even own an arena lol

 

[Cake Boss]

If the Isles can be sold, why the fuck cant we get a new owner?

Hitler owning us is better than the status quo.

Yeah I clicked straight on the last page too because I knew we'd be in the bottom 5.

Turns out, we are, to the surprise of nobody. Maybe next year we'll be higher once Shinkaruk/Gaunce/Horvat are a year older and we've added whoever we draft at Nr.6.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Because the arena is in the middle of fucking nowhere.

 

[Silexx]

Because the arena is in the middle of fucking nowhere.

Or maybe because the Sens aren't for sale?

 

[Curufinwe]

Stolarz stopped Mantha on a breakaway.

 

[Cake Boss]

Silexx and Melnyk are both for sale, buy 2 and get a Philips for free.

 

[Samyy]

Holland is too good for the AHL
Carlyle pls

Also is Allen a promising goalie prospect? Dude has let in some soft goals all series long.

 

[Curufinwe]

BoHo penalty shot.

Stopped.

 

[Smiley90]

BoHo penalty shot.

Stopped.

Who's BoHo, all I can think of is Bo Horvat

 

[Curufinwe]

That's him. I'm on my phone so BoHo.

Zadorov looks so slow. Maybe he's carrying an injury.

 

[Samyy]

Marlies coast on back-to-back series sweeps to the conference final, but not one player could get in above Orr/McLaren/play more then 5 minutes a night on the Leafs >=(.

 

[Smiley90]

Welcome Ducks-GAF

 

[zroid]

Marlies the only team to sweep in both rounds. I'd wager they won't have such an easy time in the conference finals though.

 

[Fox318]

Game could easily be 6-0

 

[zroid]

Bibeau shutout
