SteelCity08 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 wow, Dustin Brown ripped Bylsma - "It's the coach's job to figure out the best chance to win." Haha how is that ripping him? DB benched Brown. They asked him why, he said " We went with players we thought could score us a goal " Brown said " I'm not happy about it, but it's the coach's job to figure out the best chance to win if that's what he thinks. " Boy he really roasted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity08 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Seeing all of these articles come out blaming DB is pretty sad. You can't tell me that a different coach would have changed the outcome in the Canada game. A game where we were severely outplayed for the last 30 minutes. Then a 5-0 rout to the Fins. We were shutout in back to back games and you're blaming the coach?!?! Get the f*** out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChalkHillSnowNut Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I understand all that but when you have a vastly superior team year after year and fail to even reach the cup finals, even scotty bowman would be let go....Steel-you could probably coach the pens and have them at least make the playoffs.. As far as the Olympics, the US started the fastest, scoring 20 goals in the opening round and playing great team defense....to nothing in the medal round-I just don't get it. Dan's a good coach-not a great one. Not sure who would be better-that's the problem.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were shutout in back to back games and you're blaming the coach?!?! Get the f*** out of here. I don't know. I like Dan as a coach but the way this ended sorta bothers me. USA was the highest scorning team in the tournament prior to the loss to Canada and the Bronze game when they all of the sudden couldn't muster a goal and appeared to be outplayed. Seems a bit to much like last years playoffs. It just makes me wonder if there is something to these claims he doesn't make adjustments and either refuses or is unable to do line match-ups. I'd think they could still "play their game" and see even better outcomes with players matched up against those on the other team that play to our strengths. Even the year we lost to Tampa in the first round, granted we didn't have Sid and Geno in the lineup, but we were up in the series, Tampa makes a few adjustments and we lose a couple only to flame out in a 1-0 loss in game 7. Even if it is the players that don't follow his plan that's a problem, the coach has got to get the players to buy in or hes not doing his job. He did tweak the system this year with the left wing lock and it appears to have helped. I guess we will see what happens this year in the playoffs. I'm still a Dan supporter, but starting to get swayed. I know you can't win every year, but there seems to be a pattern emerging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming him I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone if they are say bounced in the Conference semis. The other side of the "if he didn't get fired when ____" coin is **** adding up. Plus there's also the team completely quitting on him to get him fired. Hell, our team's owner was quite the expert at that in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows what the future holds. Balsma could. Win. 6 out of next 8 stanly cups. And this will all be moot , when. U keep losing when it matters and fans and writers start turning on u. U r going to be replaced. They gave db extension to show all they are behind him. And if he gets knocked out early. This year. I bet he will not be around next year. U see all negativity building already. U can't have all this talent and not win in this day and age I hope he wins a cup this year. But I can't see it. There will be to much pressure.

You keep making my Point ! why don't don't you quit before you make a complete ASS of yourself BUT that is right YOU KNOW everything & therefore you ridicule anyone who disagrees with you. I can't wait till you get out in the Big Bad World & come to the stark realization that everything you were taught & believed is a Lie. I'm done responding to you. I will just say that intelligence isn't knowing everything...intelligence is realizing that you don't know everything, and that people like bylsma and those in the nws know more about their professions than you would in 500 years of following as an amateur. Thinking you are more of an expert than the actual experts, is IMO, one of the best examples of ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
