WildCard Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Well it's two things for me 1) If players aren't listening, it's because they don't believe Byslma is right. So, at least we have smart players 2) Byslma has lost the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, let's do the fancy thing." Well he's talking about Jack then Does anyone view this as justification for keeping Byslma? As in, well if they did use his system they'd actually win? If your franchise player doesn't like the coach, the coach will be gone. I find it telling that Crosby and Eichel appear to not believe in Byslma Edited February 13, 2017 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) I hate Dan's coaching, and everyone here knows it.But the players can't be quitting/doing their own thing. Play his system, lose in it if it's a loser system, he'll get fired.Not a fan of what seems to be going on.Maybe gives some substance to all the times we see Dan giving a speech in the locker room and Jack doing everything but paying attention, or the times I've noticed Dan talking to Jack on the bench and Jack leaning far forward, looking like he's totally ignoring him.

No, let's do the fancy thing." I'm not sure why he doesn't just say "TF you doin Jack" :P I do have to say that Lehner is pretty ballsy. He's been as big a part of this team's struggles as any other individual player this year. "It's time to realize we're a grinding team" This has to be the root of everything, right? Lehner, maybe Gio, other guys buy in, the young skill doesn't and hasn't been listening? Wasn't there an old vs young player rift in the Wild locker room last year? I wonder what Gio, Gorges, Moulson, are saying and thinking. ROR too. Edited February 13, 2017 by Randall Flagg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottysabres Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 "The last few days we've been going through how to play the 2nd period, coach draws it up there, giving a good game plan, and we do the exact opposite. We don't do what he said... That gets me angry, I think it gets a lot of guys angry." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Does everyone still think he'll be the coach at the start of the next season? The Pegulas are eating 3 years of Rex Ryan's contract (plus assorted assistants, I assume.) I don't think they want to turf another coach in year two. Even if it's needed, it starts to look bad.

pi2000 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Shut up and do your job tendy. It's fine if he voices his displeasure within the confines of the lockerroom. But to do it in the media speaks very poorly of him as a professional. It won't be forgotten by the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

mjd1001 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 If what he is saying is true (and I have just as much reason to think that it is true rather than it isn't), then I'd like to know who the biggest offenders are. If getting out of the D-Zone is a big issue, that may fall on the D-men as much as the forwards. Would that be someone not following the system? or just a lack of talent? All of this may just be that this team isn't good enough yet. Maybe a larger purge of the roster is due in the offseason than we think. Here is the funny thing...this team seems to play a LOT better vs the top teams in the league than against everyone else. My numbers might be wrong (I just took 3-5 minutes and added it up in my head) but this is what I came up with: Vs Top teams with winning records: 11 wins in 20 games (Minny, Washington, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Rangers, Sharks Black Hawks, Sens, Canadians, Oilers) Vs Everyone else 12 wins, 24 losses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
