I agree. Aside from a few games, and all goalies have them, he's been pretty solid. Obviously he's been bad in shootouts, but in many off those games it wouldn't have gotten to a shootout without him. Also agree he's the least of our problems defensively anyway.

On paper, how many times have I heard that in my seventy four years. Anyway,I think we are better on paper than the Canes in high end talent but possibly up and down the whole roster, not sure. Toronto, sorry I'm not sure we're better on paper there either. Having said that I'm still all in for a coaching change.

Thanks, then your comment about hiring Satanists,pagans etc. had no demeaning purpose in your post. I also want a coach hired on his hockey resume. My problem is that you imply that TP's comments mean he chose the coach not TM and the coaches faith was the reason or a significant reason for Bylsma hiring. I'm not a big supporter of our coach, but I have no reason to think Murray didn't have the say in his hire nor to believe faith was a significant factor.

You know as Christian I'm beginning to be offended by your anti faith comments. I'm not pushing my beliefs on you. I could care less that you're an atheist,pagan or whatever but don't push that agenda then complain about Christians doing it. Seems like belittling Christians is okay but you seem to go off on anyone who mentions the word faithThere are other forums you can use to express you pro or anti religious views.

While I'm not sure who to blame but in any case this team and it's coach is uninspiring to say the least. Lacking an identity describes it best, I suppose.

I wasn't either.

You may be absolutely correct. Frankly, I'm not an astute enough hockey fan to really assess coaching vs player performance. My fear is going forward it would be too bad to bring in coaches and allow them to be at the mercy of the players on a basis of "liking" the coach. Bylsma may not be a good coach or the right coach but that's where the GM comes in to make that decision. For some reason I think TM is in charge here. If he wants a change of coaching he has that authority.

Players not too impressive either. It's becoming more and more discussed that the players are not "playing what their coach is teaching". So, just asking, do our want another situation where players and possibly a player determines the coach ? Again, just asking. I may no think Bylsma is a great coach but I'm beginning to be a bit more concerned by Eichel's attitude.

While I in no way want Bylsma over Eichel I am starting to get the idea Jack may becoming a problem. Sorry, but he doesn't seem like the same guy he was beginning his first year. Do we put all this on the coach?

Don't know if th Sabres will win but I hope you do.

Even though DD doesn't excite me, I tend to agree. While I think this is a much better team than the tank team it has work to do on defense and goal is still not proven itself. I feel there is reason to question the coach in some cases many seem to, in my opinion, blame him for too much for teams losses.

Maybe you're being a bit too negative. This team was really bad a few years back. To me their rebuild is going about as I expected maybe with the acquisition of ROR a little better than expected. We need help on defense and goal tending still, to me, a question mark.

One thing determines these things $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Responded to a fan wanting Kane off the team. Ridiculous overreaction. Buffalo style. I agree talent wise Eichel is most talented but Kane has had a great run this month.

Sorry but certainly not by a mile. That's not discrediting Eichel at all but to go off on Kane? Are you kidding me? Watch the games. He's been one of the hottest players in the league over the past month.

Agree, defensively we're weak both forwards and defensemen.

Ah, sorry but Kane is probably the third best player on the team and over the past month possibly our best player.

Again , Patty L hired him.

Party L hired TM.

Fair enough but the players still are accountable as well.

Why do you think it's the coach and not the players, just asking.

I actually thought they would blow us out tonight but to lose like this hurts.

Same story.

This team could be up five goals and still manage to lose the lead . It's maddening.

They'll give it to them
