X. Benedict Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm really hoping Bylsma plays [Please change title]Reinhart. I really think [Please change title] is a pretty good nickname too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, Bylsma is good at providing fodder for discussion. :worthy: :beer: For the love of God please tell me Girgs has replaced Gionta on Eichel's wing He's slowly inching towards the most logical combinations. And by slowly, I mean teaching grandpa how to use his GPS slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'll laugh when he finally has the line combinations many on this board posted in the summer, keeps them together for half a period, and never puts them together again.

Doohickie Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 DD is in his own Hockey Heaven. He's got a basket full of top forwards, most with little or no history with each other, and he's free of the immediate pressure to produce a winner (as long as the on-ice product is entertaining). He can experiment; after all, He’s confident the time away from the bench will make him a better coach than he was in his previous job – and he was a Stanley Cup winner in Pittsburgh.“I’ve done quite a bit of growing the last year looking at the game, so I plan to bring that to the coach I’ll be with the Sabres,” Bylsma said in First Niagara Center. “There is, I think, a bright future ahead for this team.” http://sabres.buffalonews.com/2015/05/28/time-off-prepared-bylsma-for-sabres-job/ I think the time off he had for introspection has led him to take a patient, empirical approach to figuring out who plays best with whom. He's got a basket full of toys, now watch him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Sir, I'm not sure patient is the word you're looking for. He's changing everything seemingly by the shift :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) On phone so copy/paste isn't ideal, but Vogl tweeting our Bylsma had along chat with Girgensons. Has some quotes with Bylsma saying both he and Larsson have to be better. In wrestling parlance, Bylsma just went heel by questioning Zemgus! Really though, I think it mostly a function of Girgensons being put into the position of top line center. That's kinda setting him up to look bad IMO.

He's changing everything seemingly by the shift :lol: He's patient in that he's trying all reasonable combinations now to determine what works and what doesn't. He's tinkering. If he were impatient, he would stick with the combinations that produced immediate results. The switching of lines isn't impatience, it's research.

WildCard Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 That 3rd line seems super bizarre Too much of the same player in Girgs and Foligno on that line. Put one of them on the 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 That 3rd line seems super bizarre It's so crazy it might just work. Seriously, think about it for a minute. Picture them on the ice. They're all pretty tough, good defensively, and have a scoring touch. Great third line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 With DD we really need to stop seeing things as, 3rd line , 2nd line , 1st line. He roles them all 3 and switches players around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He roles them all 3 and switches players around. Road games with Rob Ray really drive me nuts. His color never really touches on line changes and who Byslma has on or off the ice. ( I miss Lorenz) at least when I'm there I can see the moves myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
