Lavs is just what this team needs. Don't think Shero has the balls to can a coach this close to the playoffs though.

Agree he is what this team needs and the same with Tocchet.
The only thing that gives me hope is Laviolette is a Team USA guy so it fits Shero's comfort level there.

I don't know about Lavs, I like Doug Houda AKA reclining buddha, but that's just me.

Neal being an idiot twice in a season...good times being a Pens fan having to not defend a dirty player, right guys?
OH wait.

Come play off time you know the NHL refs will magically time warp their officiating to 1994 and let everything and anything go I would love to ice a team that is the WORST to play against and put fear into another team.
Not the current happy fun buddie bunch that spaz out like little 4 year old girls resulting in emotion that does NOTHING effective in the game.
Give me a squad with Ott, Clutterbuck, Neal, Torres, Neil etc. and the like all out there through out the line up making opposing teams CRAZY.
But instead we get to ice Gladams...
IIRC, on the first Detroit goal, we had 4, 44, 15, and 27 killing the penalty. That's a collapse around the net by default. I don't think I saw that combination again on the PK and saw a lot more of 57 and 49.
What a cluster**** of a game. Just one of those that you knew that would lose - somehow. I said after a few games, the Pens were going to be sorry they resigned 4 -He's going to look really bad at 37.
The whole D minus 47 had subpar games. Nice to see 47 on the PP. Would be even nicer to see him comfortable enough to take a shot (he finally did in the OT).
We will see these kind of games a lot from now on. Teams just want it more than the pens down the stretch . A lot of teams are fighting for their lives to make the playoffs. Pens are just cruising. Thats the same reason why i said in the art ross thread that sid wont hit 110 points or even close to it.

His skating and passing on the PP looks so fluid and effortless. Love the way he makes his passes mid stride. He looks like a natural quarterback and seemed to create time for everyone else when he moved the puck. I agree though, he was clearly looking to pass a bit too often.
Why do you have to defend Neal? There's nothing to gain from it. The play was dirty, but these kinds of main board threads magically attract a certain kind of people and the verdict is already out: lifetime ban, at least. Just let the kids play with themselves and don't bother going in there.

This game was a tragedy on ice
Dumb penalties
Goals off defensemen
Horrendous call leads to the tying goal
5 min PP with zero shots on net
And lets be honest, when the Wings came down the ice with 3 seconds left, did anyone expect Marc Andre Fleury to make a save? I guess he felt his teammates were getting all the negative attention, so he gives up a horrific rebound on a high shot that - bounces off a defensemen - and goes in the net.
Yoooy..
This game was a 'Malkin' game for sure. Lots of good stuff with lots of ugly. It would have been a good game for the Finish line if they hadn't all taken dumb penalties.

Even if Shero did fire Bylsma this close to the playoffs, he wouldn't bring in anyone from the outside. He'd just promote Jacques Martin.

So basically he threw out a well known name that is available and won a cup 8 yrs ago. Deep.
Laviolette isn't an Xs and Os guy. Just because he outwitted DB once, don't be fooled.
He is slow to adjust and a bad systems guy. He would be like having DB, except he'd over play Crosby and Malkin.
I'm all for a change, but it has to be the right guy.

Yeah... I don't see Lavy as an improvement over Bylsma, especially when it comes to Xs and Os. The only guarantee would be this...

Remember that time Scuds scored two own goals and tripped Olli to lead to a 3rd?

I may be older but I'm never forgetting #47 & #41
I agree, I just have zero faith in this front office to be able to find that right guy.
so what would be wrong with that?
Martin has only been part of our organization for less than a season, he's not tainted
So if we had scratched Scuderi, and started some random guy out of the stands we probably win this game right?
Still we looked awful. How can the Redwings be so depleted but still stifle us so well, oh wait.

(DET
IT) Pens get 3 goals from Defense!
Correction: (own goals)
---Maatta (he was bad)
--Scuds (he didn't help Olli at all)
-Neal's stupid head
+Neal getting 10 shots
+Gibbons
+Despres
+Sutter
+Craig Adams, seriously he was a +1 last night.
Staggy: Craig Adams scores his first goal in 67 games!
Errey: How many games?
+ 1 game closer to Bylsma getting canned?

I still don't believe they really practice the powerplay. It's gotta be just, "Hey, go out and there and make something happen with your skill! We don't need any set plays for zone entry or once we have control of the puck!"

That would be great.
JM would be much more likely to ice the best roster possible and he may even line-match every once in a while.
Nothing wrong with it. Just pointing it out to the people that want to bring in Laviolette for the playoffs.
