Since the vote does not designate that Bylsma should be held SOLELY accountable it is impossible to vote no. Of course he MUST be held accountable to the level of expectations that were set by his boss Ray Shero. If Shero voted I sure as hell know he voted yes.

Tommy,

Did Crosby suck in the Olympics for team Canada?

anonymous, the refs missed more calls against the pens than they made bad calls against the pens. The refs nearly cost the Habs the series.

I have the whole series on tape if you would like, i can even count all missed calls against pens that leaded to GOALS.

Pens suck, crosby sucks, go habs go!

Hey Mcmuffin,

FYI, Boston jumped out to a three goal lead on Philly. Philly called a timeout, and guess what happened next? Philly made it 3-1. Stick to the movies, not the hockey kid.

Ozman51,

What blog posts are you reffering to? I guess you did not read my blog post about Fleury being the best goaltender left in the playoffs?

Anonymous,
I simply belive that Dan Blysma did not do anything to get his team focused for the game. Most importantly when his team needed to get back on track he did not do anything. I do not think he should be fired by no means, but I do think he should be held accountable for his actions.

Hey Huge Dan Byslma fan,
FYI Boston jumped out to a early 3-0 lead on Philly. Guess what? Philly called a time out and the result was a GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You proably didn’t know that because you were reading one of those children books he wrote.

Me thinks you are way off base. Dan stuck to the plan and it almost worked. The players have to execute the plan and quite simply did not. They were not as “hungry” as the Habs.

It was the players fault, not the coach. Next you will be saying that he should be fired, even though he helped the team win a Stanley Cup last year.

Many times (during the Stanley Cup years) we used to say we need to get out of the period as we are choking. Never did I hear someone say the coach should of called a time out or to hold Bob Johnson accountable.

Me thinks you are talking out of anger.

Love ya though!

Disco Dan wasn’t on the ice to turn the puck over 14 times and many of those times in our own end. The Pens played sloppy and then got their head handed to them.

The first two goals were 14 minutes apart? There were 2 TV timeouts in between the goals. If he pulled the starting goaltender after 2 goals I would question him.

The timeout was used a the exact correct time, when the players were tired.

Dan Bylsma is accountable for the loss, he would be the first in line to tell you that. He is also accountable for winning the Stanley Cup.

I’ve been reading here for a long time and haven’t seen any of this condemnation that this Oz guy talks about, other than this and some Poni boy stuff, I would be hard pressed to find something you guys wrote that was negative. He must just have a negative outlook.

You guys have been on the wrong side of the argument for weeks. Every blog post has been condemnation. Stop feeding the fire. You are just letting every jobbing bridge jumping fan who didn’t start watching hockey until mid April validate their paranoia.
