WildCard Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I feel like young teams are always better in the road than at home. Definitely not usually record breaking good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 A team that is good on the road should eventually become good at home, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 A team that is good on the road should eventually become good at home, no? Unless they've been ordered to cater to all the foreign fans in the arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 When Bylsma gets the last change, it doesn't help us at all. Sign of a not-good coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 In my last road game my girls basketball team won by 20. In our previous 2 home games we lost by 3 and 17 respectively. Explain how the location of the game defines my coaching ability. In hockey, the home team coach gets to see which players the other team puts out before he sends his own guys over the boards. So the home team coach is the one that dictates the line match-ups, which has always been a weakness of Dan Bylsma. You're a bad coach because you focus too much on your girls driving hard to the basket. If I were you, I'd construct a game plan around getting Amanda the ball in space behind the three point line. That girl has a hell of a shot, and you are criminally under-utilizing her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Plus there is this tidbit from Buccigros 4th time @BuffaloSabres won road game in which it trailed during 3rd period. All in regulation. No other NHL team has more than 3 such wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks for re-stating the obvious difference in hockey. So if Bylsma is winning more on the road and I argued that he did a better job of anticipating how the other team would try to match up when sending out his lines on the road and is mixing up his lines accordingly how would that speak to his coaching ability? And Amanda is completely and utterly overrated. I did not realize that was your argument. Bringing up basketball made it seem like you didn't know about second change. And quite simply: the team loses more when Bylsma dictates the line matchups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably chalk that up more to the team being too amped up at home and trying to score for the fans which means they are probably missing some assignments which lead to mistakes versus it being line combinations...

You could be right, though, I've heard that line of reasoning before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I do personally subscribe to the notion that the reason they haven't been as good at home is because of their youth. No comment on Bylsma in regards to what is being discussued, but I think youth is the reason for the home/road disparity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 This would be eight straight road games against Divisional foes with at least a point. This is another sign that things are going in the right direction. They are only 2 games under .500 on the road. They have 20 ROWs compared to 15 all of last year. 21 wins already this season, 23 all of last. They have allowed 143 goals in 53 games, and will end the season closer to 200 goals allowed than they will the 274 they allowed in 2014-15. They are going to end up with more than the 161 goals they scored last season, and that is with two key offensive contributors, Moulson & Ennis, giving you nothing. There is a lot to take away from this season no matter where they end up in the standings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
