Wow, look what happens when you're a good, well coached team. Get a late PP and score to put the game away.

I just realized that Nilsson's reward for standing on his head vs Pens was to be cannon fodder for the Caps.

It's legitimate to give Blysma a pass given the injuries to the roster. However, his conservative tendencies - implemented via his game plans -are also a reason that the Sabres are so poor offensively.. There's really no consistent 2nd wave attack from the D and his frequent use of a passive 1 -2 -2 forecheck allows teams with speed and skills exploit the Sabres defensive deficiencies.
He is not an innovative coach in my opinion.
And ..........here comes another too many men penalty (most the time, those penalties are on the coach....)
And another Washington goal on the power play.

Guilty of Being Right
He's playing a 30 year old career AHLer as his third line center, has mismanaged lines and icetime throughout the season and hasn't made a single change unique to 85-90% of the coaching pool.
The job he's done is indefensible.

Of course he's not the sole reason. But neither is he the answer to the problem. He's a caretaker at this point......

They've scored 18 goals in 14 games this month. Even with all the injuries this team is better than the tank team and scoring at a lower pace. Fire Bylsma.
Agree! And Jack is going to be hampered by the lingering effects of the injury. I expect his skating acceleration to be lacking and really don't expect to see it back to near normal until late in the season or next.
Just wait for all the complaints about Eichel around here when he doesn't have that same 5th gear like he had last season.

Baptiste now with 10 goals in 10 games - not like the parent club has a goal scoring problem though. Get him back here, play him in the top 6 and get rid of COR ffs

How come the usual suspects aren't calling for Nilsson to play over Lehner? Or is that only when Nilsson stands on his head, not when he plays normal.

I thought he played well. The simple fact he can stop pucks in a shoot out makes me want to keep starting him until he gives me a reason not to.
