Maybe they can make it an early Christmas present

Historically inept offense with good offensive players. A putrid system in which it appears Bylsma's game plan is to win every game 1-0. Inability to figure out how to get his players to stop taking Too Many Men on the Ice penalties. This team is a dumpster fire. Bylsma's complete lack of any creativity and stifling of the offense has turned a middle of the road talented team without Eichel into a team that can't score goals and is languishing near the bottom of the league. He needs to go...how much longer can we put up with this ineptitude??

Bylsma needs to go...let the Fire Bylsma Watch begin....

Let the Fire Bylsma Watch begin...

How many games can we score one fvcking goal and Bylsma still keep his job?? This dude needs to go pronto...

Bylsma is killing our offense hoping to win games 1-0...and failing miserably but still won't open up the offense...

Other teams realizing you can actually win hockey games by scoring more goals than the other team and not trying to win games 1-0 like the Sabres do under Bylsma every night by trying to out-defense them.

Bylsma...the place where star offensive players go to die...

Oh well..down 1-0, guess the best we can hope for is OT at this point...

Murray either needs to tell Bylsma to stop stifling our offense playing a defensive system which seems to allow other teams to generate zone pressure at will while we chase them around our end and then dump and chase into their zone when we get the puck or replace him with someone who likes scoring goals. 12 goals in the last 10 games is a freaking joke...we have some pretty damn talented players at forward who are being made to play a way that just doesn't allow them any offensive creativity to make plays. They are not robots... Even without Eichel and Ennis we have way more than 1.2 goals per game talent. And it's not like this team is the New Jersey Devils of 20 years ago winning games 2-1 and 1-0 all day...they aren't winning playing this way so why the hell are they still playing this way? Our strengths are our forwards, not our defenseman. Bylsma seems like he has his head up his ass trying to fit players to his system instead of fitting his system to the players. I'm tired of watching snoozefests for the past year and a half under him, either let the players attack offensively or get the hell out of here and let someone who understands that you can actually win by outscoring the other team instead of praying the other team doesn't score 2 goals because then you're done... Enough is enough...I can't watch this crap anymore.

Dump the coach. He has stifled our offense for a year and a half now...I mean we are worse this year than during the tank seasons when we had literally nobody playing for us... It's an embarrassment and regardless of who is on or out of the lineup we have more talent than 11 goals in 9 games... He is killing us right now...Jesus Christ, do we have sit back in our own zone all game? Our D is not the strong point of this team, our forwards are, coach to our strength not our weaknesses

I'm at the point I think Bylsma needs to go...we may not have elite top end talent but we damn sure have enough talent to score more than one goal a game, even without Eichel. Bylsma seems determined to stifle offensive output to play great defense except our defense isn't good enough to play that style. Our team doesn't score goals and that was the same issue for most of last year. Since we can't change all the players, we need to change coaches. I don't care that Eichel isn't there, plenty of teams have no one near as good as him with less talent behind him and score 2-3 goals a night. His coaching is an embarrassment at this point

This team is a joke...they should be embarrassed

So tired of watching this team sleepwalk for half the game... They can't score...they can't pick up defenders in the slot...they can't stop taking dumbass penalties... None of these have to do with Eichel. Bylsma better get his act together.

Guess NHL and NFL got together tonight to make sure Buffalo teams got screwed...embarrassingly bad on both fronts

Refs might as well just GIVE the Bruins the game...this is ridiculous.

Funny when Pittsburgh was without Crosby and Malkin they went on a tear...all we do is make excuses

fvck this team...they aren't going anywhere playing like this...they need to get their heads out of their ...inexcusable loss

This team should be ashamed of itself after this period...especially the last 5 minutes...WTF is that??

"Long term"? Like over the course of 3 or 4 years? It won't make ANY difference he is out 7 or 8 weeks. Kind of ridiculous when you think about what you are asking.

Damn...have to say every time they show a crowd shot there is a hot ass woman there...Calgary has some good looking chicks...

That's the whole point...HEM is designed to get the swelling down far quicker than the body will do by itself. You use hot and cold water to act like an internal pump and then massage away(in this case up the leg) from the area. Castor oil in fact has many usages and is known to boost circulation and also improves immune function by increasing lymphoctyes. The circulation boost is the more important aspect as ligaments and tendons heal so slowly in comparison to other parts of the body because the circulation there is relatively poor...it doesn't get much bloodflow naturally. The first two steps both act to help increase the circulation to that area and get what needs to come out, out. https://draxe.com/castor-oil/ And I agree, I didn't have a high ankle sprain, but I had a pretty bad ankle sprain, similar to ones I have gotten from playing basketball and football before, which took a minimum of 2-2.5 weeks to heal by itself, and there was no way the swelling would have been gone by day 2 or 3 without doing HEM. The overriding issue is that once something is established as "The Way" to do things, it is virtually impossible to get that to change. I mean there have been hundreds of studies done that show saturated fats are not bad for you and are actually slightly beneficial for you, and that Tri-Glyceride levels are a far better indicator of future cardiovascular issues than cholesterol is(which has been shown to be one of the most overtreated conditions there is based on the evidence), but yet very few doctors will look at this information since these are "established" norms. The worst part about it is saturated fats got a bad rap based on one of the earliest studies done on them which was designed and carried out so poorly it would have been laughed off today. The researcher basically fit what he thought should be the result to the data instead of letting the data speak for itself----it was a complete and utter joke of a study, but it took nearly 40 years for anyone to seriously look at the study and start questioning it. So that is a huge issue with the way things work in the medical industry---they are extremely resistant to change. 40 years before a person sat and actually read the study and realized there was no possible way he could have came to that conclusion based on the data he got, and decided to redo the study---to a far different result---results that have continued to be far different in the hundreds of follow up studies to that one. All I'm saying is I've tried it both ways before and this way worked a hell of a lot faster and better than the RICE method. And anyone who has tried this before will agree. I'll even go so far as to say the next time anyone here gets a sprain, try this method instead of RICE, even if you do it to prove that it won't work so you can come back here and tell us about it and tell me I'm a lying sack of horse dung, because it's going to work regardless. That is the best type of evidence...A person who is determined something won't work that does it to prove it won't work and then ends up proving themselves wrong. And in regards to getting something to heal properly I'd take the advice of a PT 1000 times before I'd take the advice of a doctor...that's what they do all day long every day---work on healing injuries to various parts of the body.

Dunno he is in a brace so I'm figuring that is likely to immobilize it

Rest Ice Compression Elevation... I wish he had the same PT as me but I doubt it, my buddy is out in the Midwest now

I HATE the fact that RICE is still used even though myself and numerous other people who have tried something known as HEM(Hydrotherapy, Exercise and Massage) can attest that you heal much faster and actually help strengthen the ligament to help prevent further injury rather than mmaking it more susceptible to injury. Long story short, I had gout about 5 years ago and was away and didn't have my indomethicin(I get these very rarely), so I tried to deal with it...over the course of the next few days due to how I was walking on my foot I severely sprained my ankle. It blew up to grapefruit size. Went to doctor and he wanted RICE and crutches, no walking on it for a week. Had a buddy who works in PT and he is always on the cutting edge of things. He told me about HEM and recommended I get an ebook on it. He told me he used it with people all the time and it worked exceptionally well. Get home, got the ebook...Had to get some castor oil for the massage(it penetrates deeply). Did it twice that night, ankle went down by half the next morning. Did it two more times that day, woke up the next morning and it was almost back to normal. Started trying to walk on it, but it still hurt and it started swelling again slightly. Kept doing it twice a day and kept trying to walk on it...by 4th day I was walking normally for the most part, and by the 6th day there was no more swelling when I walked on it. Went back to doctor on day 7 and he did a double take when I walked in and asked how the hell I did that because I should still be on crutches. Told him about my PT buddy and the method he used, seemed really interested and asked me to send him the link to the book. I did the treatment one more day and then just the exercises for another week and I was good to go. I shudder at the archaic thinking that RICE is the best method to treat these sprains because I know first hand it isn't. Eichel will be missing at least 2-3 more weeks than he needs to using RICE and it's a shame these trainers are so prone to group think.
