Pysyk is the emperor with no clothes.

Someday somebody is going to point out all the giant holes in his game at this level, and people will say "Why did we ever think he was so good?"

I think he does all the little things well, but when he tries to do too much he looks bad. Problem is I think the organization has asked him to do too much.

Looks like Pysyk is the new whipping boy on here eh? I guess someone had to fill it after Weber left.

Not a whipping boy, just our #5 defensemen that gets completely overhyped. Mike Schopp said he was more important to this team than Kane or Reinhart

I think this is a good year to ask a lot of him. Let's see where he's at.

He's playing bottom pairing minutes, and is usually never on the ice agonist top lines

No i mean to be more physical, offensive minded etc. but that's not really his skill set.

Schopp is a moron. I'd keep Pysyk on this team over Bogosian any day

Thats bogus crap. You think he is trying harder than capable ?

How much more can you do out there than play hockey ?

Anderson is getting all the bounces tonight. Wouldn't be shocked if we get shut out.

Him and Ehrhoff were outstanding together, even though it was two years ago. He played well early in the season. Bylsma asks him to change his game by becoming more aggressive and he (frank)ing blows.

I think he's doing things that aren't in his skill set. Trying to step up for hits, jumping a little too often on the offensive rush. Chasing vs staying in position.

We should trade him to WSH for a 2017 3rd. They're buying up this type of guy.

I would too, but that has more to do with his contract. If Pysyk played well against top competition than I think the hype would be warranted. But breaking up a Nate Thompson zone entry doesn't do it for me

He is still only gonna be able to do what he can.

That's my whole point, he's trying to do what he cant (or at least cant do well)

I don't buy the Coller BS on him being the next Stralman but I think he can be a valuable 2nd pairing guy especially on team that is so bad 5v5 in terms of possession.

Actually, he let Thompson skate right by

I think Pysyk is pretty good. But there are holes.

Personally I would say he's a future #4. He doesn't do anything well enough to be a go to guy

Me too. F the west coast games

Literally everything I've been upset about with the team this year circles back to the head coach
