LOL There is no thing as "tough luck kid" in this situation. As has been pointed out, and rightly so, coaches don't win these battles, and for good reason. You don't crash an entire multi-million dollar sports franchise in an effort to bring in a franchise player to build around only to tell that franchise player its the coaches way or hit the bricks kid. That is laughable at its best, down right criminal and beyond at its worst. You build the system to suit the players talents nit the other way around. This kid is what the Sabres are building around, not the coach. The solution was there before it ever began. Get the right coach for the job, Bylsma isn't it if he can't muster enough testosterone to impose his will and way on the roster. The battle has now spilled over in to the public domain with reports this was a problem at his last gig as well. It's fast coming to a head on this and I don't see Eichel being traded. What do you think that leaves solution wise? The writing is on the wall, it's not a matter of if, but when.

We need Drury to show up with a giant Stanley Cup poster and put it up outside 5he dressing room........

Probably not. But hey..... "Are you not entertained" :D I could get on board with the sentiment, but being honest with myself I knew it wasn't going to be a 3 year whirlwind turn around. And that is where we are in my opinion, year 3 of the added components. 5 years, that's about where I put playoff contenders for the team at. And by that I mean having the ability to win a playoff series. With that said, someone needs to get control of this show before it does get out of hand.

Just a heads up to the veterans of this board, I fully expect a photo-shopped transgender Bylsma photo in response to a post like this :)

To be honest, you actually think Lehner gives a whether they forget it or not? This isn't Ryan Miller were talking about here, Lehner's flat out a big dude and is not afraid of anyone on the ice. A little public shaming to try and get team mates to straighten up and fly right if they keep 'in up isn't a bad thing, its called leadership.

:D I was thinking Franson for a conditional 3rd Of course I don't seriously put much stock in to a player sounding off out of frustration, but just for fun lets say the Pens are looking to trade with us. Fluery? Would it even be thinkable to bring in Fluery?

Pittsburg fans had many of the same complaints about Bylsma following the cup run year. Many of them blame Bylsma for the drought they had afterwards

WHOA! Time to jettison the coach, ASAP! He's lost the room. It's over.

I smell a couple of traded coming

It's a problem to be addressed at a future date apparently

Bad

Horrible, just horrible at home. They should be ashamed of themselves. Get off your boys and TAKE IT TO THEM in the 3rd.

Its not over until the last power play for Vancouver is played......

This isnt on coaching, its on Folgno for tagging that player instead of just stepping off the ice

Come on Marcus, you know better. That's just straight out dumb.

Saw that one coming. The boys need to get more aggressive.

Awesome! Also 2 Pittsburg scouts here tonight and 1 scouted RoRochester? Can anyone confirm?

YAY!!!!! Obi wan okposo

Horrible PK.

I've watched him when I went to a few Rochester games, he'll do for a 3/4 liner. I was much more impressed with Bailey and Baptiste.

LOL Well, shouldn't be difficult to identify area's to work on

Nice tip. Pk continues to be a dagger in the heart for this club.

That was ugly from Nyquist. Got to figure some kind of punishment is coming for that. But then again, who knows.....

I believe what he said was he's not making calls to trade Kane. He didn't mention whether he wouldn't listen to calls made to him. But overall, I do agree with you, he would have to get a knock his socks off and rub his feet on the beach while drinking an umbrella drink offer.

Sunday, my only day off each week. I can finally watch a game, YAY. Come on boys, just win!
