being from Australia i dont get the local media coverage so all i can go by is by the games i watch on TV and heres a view from an outsider. To me Shero and bylsma both have to go but not only that the entire organisation has to take a look at itself in the mirror.
A fish stinks from the head and this team from the head is smelling like a 3 year old fish.
I know its not their fault for the players but they have allowed both Shero and Bylsma run this core to the ground, but i guess as long as long as the arena is full and tickets are selling, the merchandise and the beers flow out the door then i guess from a business standpoint its great but they should never have given the Bylsma shero tandema free pass.
Onto Bylsma - Im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for 2011 tampa series due to injruy regardless of where they stood, afterall how many times can Asham score in the final.. the rest is a trainwreck and nothing sums it up last night like the final period, down 2-1 and a tired 4th line ices the puck. Who does Bylsma put out? Oh the 4th line of Adams and crew. nuff said,
Now Shero, This is the true defanition of the old boys club.We have drafted D men for god knows how long, to naturally replace the ones we lose to free agency.
take Letang for example - has an excellent 2013 regular season, struggled against the B's and his trade value is at an all time high with his 4m dollar cap hit - but what do we do, we extend his contract to an insane 7.5 million long term. Why? He could have fetched wingers, draft picks or a solid established player(s) but we just go and suck another 7 million against the wall.
Then Scuderi - the shadow of his 2009 self, oh and at another 3.3 million cap hit. we have players drafted who have been waiting for a shot at his spot who could do it better for cheaper.
Dupuis - another rediculous deal - I like Pascals heart but not for 3.5 million at his age for 4 years. It was time to let that puppy walk.
This team has totally failed to adapt with the salary cap with these stupid deals - we haven't evolved we just keep getting older and older and we are holding our young D core down because we cant get rid of these useless contracts.... /rant
