Dan's "system" got exposed at the end of last year. All it takes is clogging the neutral zone and standing them up at the blue line (it's turnover central). The Pens can't handle pressure like that. They refuse to play boring dump and chase.

I think it's easy to blame the coach but someone has to pay for effort like this. That's what this is, effort level. If he can't get it out of them someone else does.
The powerplay and line juggling aren't helping him.

i am starting to question Bylsma for the first time since we hired him, and that's a sucky feeling him cause I like him. but this staff is horrible making adjustments and giving lines time to find each other andd be consistent

They have. But the effort is inexcusable. Those two PPs in the firs sucked the life out of their game. With no time to practice and no camp, simple would have been better on the PP. It's costing them dearly right now.

Glad you didn't make the trek up there for this one. I suspect you'd be on your way home already.

Nobody ever pays under coach Disco. He's everybody's friend. Nobody even misses a shift after doing stupid sh*t.

Unbelievable. Change up the power play. Get a body in front of the net and blast it. Despres and Letang on the points.

And not advocating a pier 6 brawl, but a good fight after it went 2-0 may have done a little, a clean hit, anything but what they did. unbelievable
