Taro T Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Whoever that coach is is drawing up a play during the timeout. Bylsma comes over, says something about it, and shakes his head in disagreement to the plan. It's supposed to show that even the coaches aren't on the same page. But, but, Bylsma is dreamy. There's no dissention among the ranks. If he's back next year, anybody wants any of my tix except the opener & the last game (& any MODO comes over for) & they are yours for what I pay (likely $50/ seat). Want nothing to do w/ this debacle. Never been this disheartened w/ the Sabres before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the one guy I hope sticks around when the coaching change happens (doubtful). I give him much of the credit for our #1 Powerplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want nothing to do w/ this debacle. Never been this disheartened w/ the Sabres before. First time in many years I have not gone to a home Sabres game. The only *protest* I have to this team's coach is not to go to a game. If it where for any other reason that you where selling your tickets I would PM you at some point next year. But, if Dan is still the coach my boycott will continue. I'm still making a game this year. In Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) 1/17/17, 9 AM: Well, statistics show that goalies lose a huge chunk of their save percentage when they start the second night of a back to back as well as the first - but I have a good feeling about Robin tonight, so we'll throw him out there and see what happens. 1030 PM: Welp - I had to pull Robin less than halfway through the game after allowing a pitiful goal from the half wall. 3 quick GA and our lead was evaporated. 2/12/17, 8 AM: You know what? Robin had a damn good game last night. What the hell, I'll throw him out there again. The Canucks suck anyway, right?10:00PM: Eeeeeeek. He gave up 4 goals in a loss to a terrible team. Had temper tantrum in lockerroom after. Bad move, I'll own it. 2/19/17, one week later, 8AM: I know I said that this was a bad idea, but I just can't shake the feeling that I should start Robin tonight. He had a great, if busy, game yesterday after all. My name Dan Bylsma, and I can turn on all the faucets in my house. 11PM: Yikes, this time he gave up FIVE. Not a great way to start the vacation. Oh well, GMTM is probably already on a beach somewhere, maybe he didn't see. 3/21/17, 9 AM: I'm doing it. I'm starting Lehner. He has to pull one of these out one of these times, right? 9:30 PM: Well, he gave up 3 this time, but we lost. I know that I keep making the wrong choice and I can even tell you why it's wrong statistically. But I'm still going to do it. Just like how on the radio in early April I noted that I need to cut back on some of Risto's ice time, just like I said last August, and yet I will continue to give him 27+ minutes per game like I have all season. 4/3/17, 9AM: Lehner played last night. I don't care. ###### Jack Eichel. 10PM: I had to pull him after 3 goals before the first period was over. I'm starting to wonder if I should change my approach.

Eleven Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Sorry, anti-Bylsmites, but Jerry nailed it. Something about the sins of the father franchise are the sins of the son... http://buffalonews.com/2017/03/31/sullys-mailbag-whose-seat-hotter-bylsma-whaley/ What a surprise. A miserable person with little to offer latches on to a miserable columnist with little to offer. Yeah keep Bylsma. IMHO Disco and GMTM are both gone.

dudacek Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Never mind Dan's technical flaws, or his player usage issues. All coaches have blind spots. All coaches make mistakes in those areas. For three-quarters of the year the team has worked hard in spite of that. Since the break they have checked out. They don't believe in their leader. That is impossible for a coach to overcome. That is why Dan has less than two weeks left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
