Murray hired Bylsma to play a defensive system in order to keep Eichel's numbers down until the end of his ELC in order to keep his next contract lower. Bylsma will be fired at the end of year three and an offensive minded coach will be brought in. /s

Terry Pegula bought the Bills and Sabres to get his foot in the door in NYS and influence the laws regarding fracking. He doesn't want to own the teams, so he's tanking them in order to get people so disgusted, they want the teams moved. The sabres will move to Quebec and the Bills will become the Mexico City Jose's. Pegula's real goal is to get at the sweet, sweet juice under OBD

This is my frustration with the season: It's clear from certain periods of certain games that they have what it takes to compete nightly. But why is it that they're not more often than not? Do they just not like Byslma so they're just out there floating around? Do they just not care enough to go out and play hard period after period, game after game?

I just don't get it.

I feel the same way. My Opinion only: Some of them are used to losing and expect it. They need to learn to be hate losing again.
Disco tried to cover the holes on D by playing a defensive game. Jack wants to cover the holes by adding more offense the other team can handle. I'm with Jack cuz it's a hell of alot more fun to watch.

I agree. There's been way too many games this season where the team just looks was too uninspired. It took Jack throwing things and voicing his displeasure before we (as fans) knew that at least 1 guy in the room isn't happy with what's going on.

If he keeps making the comments he has the last 2 weeks or so, I wonder how long it'll be before Byslma is shown the door. It's clear he's taking shots at what they're being told to do.

Also, it's nice to see Girgs finding himself again. Not sure what the difference is, but he's been a much more impactful player the last week or so.

Especially right now with Fedun in the line up. The D has at least one person on every pair who can hustle on the back check if there's a mistake in the offensive zone. There's no point playing Fedun and Falk together if you don't let Fedun play an up-tempo game. I suppose that's why they only got 10 mins and Risto got 30

Foligno gave Bylsma credit for the speech Saturday in his postgame presser and said something like "We're listening to him and hearing him." But if you listen to Eichel's post-game pressers over the last several games he seems to be talking pretty regularly about "offense being the best defense" and simple "north hockey" which I take as stand against Bylsma.

Hopefully, we see less of the parked bus and we don't have to worry about the right answer. I hope we're not getting a divided room.

If we are, then I'm on Jack's side.
