Dan Bylsma Hot Seat Pt. III | Shero pushing for Bylsma extension

[domaug*]

So if this is true, how long till Adams gets signed to a 3 yr contract? I'm sure that will be one of Byslma's first demands.

that may be his second announcement (the first being a 3+ year extension for Bylsma)

 

[KHstrike]

My blood pressure.... aaaaahhhhhhhhh

 

[Waffle Fries]

Well if Rossi is right about everything (Bylsma extension, Dupuis resigning) then I think it's pretty much guaranteed we'll see this:

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Bennett-Malkin-Neal

MAF in net.


Excuse me while I go mourn the loss of the 2013-14 season.

 

[sexyllama]

My blood pressure.... aaaaahhhhhhhhh

All you have to do is take a deep breath and walk away... I will. Don't worry the ending, it will be the same as the rest as the last two. Haha, and Philly will be in an up year so that should be a nice beatdown...again...

Like I said, you know what your going to get, so walk away, no need to get frustrated as you know what's going to happen in the Playoffs.

Except, next year, every team that is smart will Trap us...

 

[Speaking Moistly]

My blood pressure.... aaaaahhhhhhhhh

I see your blood pressure and raise you a burgeoning ulcer. I just want this over, now. The suspense is horrid.

I doubt he would play Bennett there.

 

[Beauner]

Little late, but how can you watch the past two years and immediately think of giving the guy an extention? No hesitation at all? Hopefully Rossi is just spewing but if this is true I really overestimated Shero.

 

[On Vinyl]

Shero, I am disappoint

The status quo continues.

 

[Waffle Fries]

I doubt he would play Bennett there.

Even worse

But who else would play there?

That would be a surprise. I have no doubt if DB comes back despite what he said BB goes right back to bottom of the pile. If Iggy is resigned BB is not cracking top 6.

As for Shero extending DB....

 

[Waffle Fries]

That would be a surprise. I have no doubt if DB comes back despite what he said BB goes right back to bottom of the pile. If Iggy is resigned BB is not cracking top 6.

Yeah if Dan's the coach, Iggy isn't resigning. Not a chance.

 

[gordie]

All of you thought "All In" meant push for the Cup when it actually means the entire organization gets cleaned out when the 5th consecutive season of playoff failure rolls around in the Spring of 2014. The Pens are becoming the Pirates of the past 20 years. very sad

 

[sexyllama]

Yeah if Dan's the coach, Iggy isn't resigning. Not a chance.

You sure Iggy doesn't want to come back as the 2nd Line LD? Come on Waffle.... you know it to be true...

 

[sexyllama]

Even worse

But who else would play there?

Craig Adams? Tanner Glass?

They have been in the League for > 3 years SO THEY MUST BE GREAT!

 

[ByeBye]

I blame Vokoun. If it wasn't for him, this could have been a first-round exit and nobody could even think of debating about giving Bylsma an extension.
Vokoun should be booed every time he touches the ice next season.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Even worse

But who else would play there?

Some new guy? Glass, Kennedy, Cooke? He'll cycle through, though.
I'd say Jokinen, but that makes too much sense.

...Vokoun, the LW...


I come from a family of boycotters, I will boycott.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Craig Adams? Tanner Glass?

What are you talking about?

He's not going to get that chance because MAF will be in net.. and he's going to take the net.. and he's going to be great... and he's going to win lots of games. LOTS OF GAMES.

 

[sexyllama]

Seriously, I've got an awesome job that I love but I need to move over to the Pens Organization.

I could work hard one year than coast for FIVE. Sign me the **** up!

 

[ByeBye]

He's not going to get that chance because MAF will be in net.. and he's going to take the net.. and he's going to be great... and he's going to win lots of games. LOTS OF GAMES.

But he's still going to be allowed to participate in warmups, right? Let's boo him there!

 

[Waffle Fries]

Very true, very true. Unless he locks him in the closet where he was hiding Despres.

Scoring goals!

It's not even coasting, it's being actively bad.

 

[Til the End of Time]

if shero is in fact pushing for a bylsma extension i will immediately go from one of his biggest fans to one of his biggest critics.

i just cant fathom shero being so biased by his friendship that he ignores the objective reality of the situation.

 

[Waffle Fries]

I said it before but just to reiterate:

In the last four years we have won 3 series. Two first rounds and one second.

Of the four series that we have lost:

In 1 we have blown a 3-1 lead.

In 2 we have gone down 3-0.


What the hell kind of organization rewards this failure with an extension?

 

[66-30-33]

Bah what **** news to wake up to! I just joked with my roomate if this happens. We are old men on canes talking like old men, i pretended i walked in on Pens losing playoffs again and said

Me: we lose again?
Him: yeahhhhh, but we won cup in '09
Me: bahhh! *swats air* wait, is Shero still GM?
Him: Yeah
Me: He will fire Bylsma next year!

 

[gordie]

The organization is telling you we aren't serious about competing for the cup any longer and we are more concerned about a happy clique of employees who all can take home a very nice paycheck while selling just hope to the fans. I for one will no longer care what happens to them and I wonder does Sidney Crosby really want to be a part of this?
