#Pens vs #BlueJackets Official Thread! #StanleyCupPlayoffs

He wasn't given much of a chance. In 2 years he was in and out. Bylsma has had twice that time and more. Yes you can argue he had a cup but that was in his first season, the argument is always going to be made that he coached therriens roster to a championship just like people have said Mike Tomlin has coached bill cowherd roster to a Super Bowl. Theoneandonly made a great point when he said that his players don't respect him. Look at the steady decline of Kris Letang, look at the blown leads, look at the stubborn relentlessness that he shows in every series he's been in since 2009 to make changes when he's down. This has all been said before but I guess what I'm trying to say is Tony would be a better choice, there are probably better choices than tony but he's only had a small amount of time to prove himself in the head coach position.

2 years seems like enough time for me. He will never be hired as HC.

I'm calling it right now. Pens win by at least two tonight.

[theoneandonly]

We are all still waiting for your reasons why HCDB and ray Shero are worthy. Enlighten us please oh wise one

[HockeyGenie]

Give him a moment, he's probably exhausted from carrying around his ego everyday. I'm sorry Aoki, I am such an idiot for voicing my opinion. I like your ability of dodging questions. You haven't once posted something since I've been on here that was hockey related. Basically you have just attacked everybody opinion. There's a difference between discussion and attacking people which is exactly what you are doing.

[theoneandonly]

Welcome to the world of Aoki... Everything he says is gospel and everything you say is "attacking or offending him". The quicker you accept Mr.HG the more fun he is.

Nice to have a new hockey voice that has some sense of knowledge and realism.... Look forward to your posts HG.

Thank you, looking back through this forum and some of the other hockey forums I got a sense for what he is like. I wish I would have earlier because then I just would have ignored him, god knows what he will conjure up next.

I just have to say one thing to Aoki, your trend of saying "that is petty high school stuff" is pretty funny because I am 18, a senior, and in high school, and nobody that i know in my school, or in general for that matter acts like you do. Okay proceed with whatever you have to say now to me.

[theoneandonly]

Lol... This should be entertaining.

[konjo78]

The fans are so quiet in the arena tonight... Almost like they expect the worse to happen
.. Has to be hurting The Pens play

[theoneandonly]

If a team is hurt by their fans they don't deserve to be on the ice anyways. I'll
Never buy into that at all.

MAF still sucks and I love Kris Letang. That's how you grind out a playoff win. Why the hell it took 5 games I'll never know.
