PASabreFan Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'll take my PA hat off and ask: is there any basis in reality, any reporting, for fans to be thinking that Bylsma could be fired soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He topped Puck Daddy's hot seat list, but that's not really reporting...so no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. But you can only coach a team whose locker room you've lost for so long, and if we continue to not show up and get smoked by mediocre teams, I think that's the sign. Foligno - Eichel - Moulson Girgensons - Reinhart - Okposo Kane-Larsson - Gionta Deslauriers - Grant - Carrier New lines. Definitely not terrible, but poor Jack :P . I'd probably switch Zemgus and Foligno but otherwise it's what I'd do with what we have up here. Maybe Kane to Reinhart's line, Foligno to Larsson's, Girgensons to Eichel's. But I'm interested to see how these work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly what I'd do, but I think giving Reinhart our best winger makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresBaltimore Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Okposo should be with Eichel Agreed. It feels like a waste not to pair them up. I think we should try to have two third lines instead of hoping to have two top lines without ROR. Maybe something like: 1) Reinhart - Eichel - Okposo 3a) Foligno- Larsson - Gionta 3b) Kane - Girgensons - Carrier 4) Deslauriers - Grant - Moulson I'm not sure if I'd swap Moulson and Carrier or not. I'd also try to get Babtiste, Bailey or Sneider back up here and bench Deslauries. I'd like to bench Grant too, but I'm not sure who to slot in at center if we do unless you do something like: 1) Carrier - Eichel - Okposo 3a) Foligno- Larsson - Gionta 3b) Kane - Reinhart - Moulson 4) Deslauriers - Girgensons - Babtiste But that probably makes it too easy to just shut down our top line when we already have trouble scoring. Plus, I'm bad at this. I'll stop now. Needless to say, I'd like to use the injury to get someone from Rochester with some speed/scoring.

Brawndo Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I would remove D-Lo and insert Baptiste. Zemgus-Eichel-Okposo Foligno-Reinhart-Baptiste Kane-Larry-Gionta Carrier-Grant-Moulson Carrier or Moulson could play their off wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'll take my PA hat off and ask: is there any basis in reality, any reporting, for fans to be thinking that Bylsma could be fired soon? I saw it mentioned for the first time this week in the Buffalo news - not as a rumour, or an insider report, more as a coach must be on the hot seat given the state of the team kinda thing. In other words, speculation, but the first speculation I've seen in the mainstream media. Oh and Flagg should be on Eichels right side. I like the way he thinks the game and he has a good work ethic. PA on the left because they need someone whose not afraid to go into the dirty areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Every team has injuries, and even though we are missing ROR now, we are healthier than most teams, with only him and Ennis out. So that shouldn't give Bylsma any excuses. I'm sure Bylsma isn't our only issue, but he's the biggest one, I think, so it's more comforting to just focus the blame in his direction right now. With how we've been playing, we need to win this game. If we get taken apart again, he should get fired. But he won't. Let's hope we can show some spine tonight.

Randall Flagg Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Is Franson back yet? If so I go:McCabe - Ristolainen Kulikov - Franson Falk - Bogosian or switch Bogosian and Franson if you want to help 47-77 get through their issues. I'm scared of that pairing, but Franson and Falk looked pretty good together from what I remember.No way Dan leaves Gorges in over Falk though, unfortunately, for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Eager to see Reinhart at centre. He's been playing well lately. Also of note, 10 of his 12 assists this season are primary. He's creating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
