Agreed he should have been gone April 23 last year.

After one playoff collapse?

2010, second round loss, against hot goalie, with fatigue following two straight SCF appearances and Olympics.

You can't count 2011... I think we had Kovelev and Mark Letestu in the top 6. The fact that we got to the playoffs is a miracle.

2012 was indeed a tire fire.

How many 100% defensive defenseman make the All Star team? Stuff the box or not he got in. Would Brooks make the team if it was in the Burgh? At one point he was a good player, i refuse to believe that he has lost all his worth.

He's a 5-6 defenseman with 2-3 contract. He can stay in Toronto.

So Gunner, who do you think might help as a forward on that 3rd line. A banger and someone good along the boards? If so, I agree.

I need somebody who carries a little bit of offensive upside. There needs to be help on the secondary scoring front. I'm going to be lazy and use Cullen's name again, but that is the mold of player I would prioritize.

And one that comes with next to nothing as far as acquisition costs.

You people seriously want to fire the coach of a team who is winning their division half way through a season? Because of who he plays/sits on the third line and third d pairing? The "fire Bylsma" bandwagon makes it embarrassing to consider myself a Penguins fan. Another first round playoff loss, ok, you have to give him a look over. But if you fire the coach of a first place team now, you'll be laughed at throughout the league.

What if Shero doesn't do anything and come up with that "we are happy with our current squad" crap? That would blow! Or, "the cost of acquisitions skyrocketed"...

F Bouchard, Cullen and Seto. Go get a banger who crashes the net and irritates people. You know who impressed me last night? Gallagher the rookie from Montreal. Kid got punched in the head like 15 times last night being in front of the net. I liked it

We lost to a pathetic Montreal team, led by Mike freaking Cammalleri. Who knew how bad his team was so he laughed in the face of the city of Pittsburgh every chance he got. We had a full squad of players, we couldnt adapt and change our game plan.

Tampa we were up 3-0, Your really going to use being tired as an excuse? EVERY TEAM PLAYS 82 not just us. Beacuse i think it was that we couldnt adapt and change our game plan.

Philly really? Philly? 5000 GA in 6 games.. O wait it was a case of not being able to adapt and change our game plan.

Bylsma is not a coach, he is a drinking buddy.He should have been gone after we lost to the Habs.

I mean of the 3 I listed Bouchard would be the last one I want. Seto carries a little intrigue because he dropped 30 and we think everyone can drop 40 playing with crosby aside from Kunitz and Duper. Cullen is a proven vet but I just want more grit from the 3rd line winger. Jeffrey and Tk don't exactly make anyone think about what they are doing.

0.51 PPG guy. Good 3rd line material but not very physical. Some here would be disappointed.

Looking at it he slots in to the 2nd line here more so than the 3rd line.
