Yes. He seems like a very good coach.
Also, I assume he's bringing Crosby with him to the Oilers.

Of course, he's one of the best coaches in the game. 2 playoff losses doesn't change that. Typical HF thread.

Yeah, I'd like him for sure. One of the best.
Although for the Leafs I'd like to give Carlyle a chance since he has a good track record with Burke, and has won a Cup as well.

I like Maclean as our coach but Dan is a top 3-5 coach in the league, no way would I say no to him to be Ottawa's coach.

It's not a typical HF thread.
If you go to the Pens board, you'll see that many fans want him fired.

Well, maybe those are typical HF threads.

Maybe.
Like what Dineen did so far his first year with the Panthers.
Would like to see how he does with more talent from our pipeline in the upcoming years.

Pens have obviously bought into Coach's system...Seems to be pretty good.

I think Bylsma may have become complacent, which happens often when you've got so much talent driving you forward. But look at the playoffs: he's being out-coached and out-matched by Laviolette so far this series, last year he gets a pass because Crosby and Malkin were out, but then in 2010 with a prime Crosby, Malkin and Fleury he was badly out-coached by Montreal's Jacques Martin. Since their Stanley Cup and Crosby's breakout year, there's been a huge disconnect between the Pens' talent and their playoff success. I see that as a coaching issue.

I wouldn't trade Laviolette for Bylsma.

No. I think Laviolette is a better coach and I've been vastly disappointed in Bylsma in this playoff series. Can't even handle when to use his timeout right.
Cup wins don't mean **** to me for players or coaches.

Overall Yes, but I would like to keep the kings defensive core the same.
As of late, no

One of the best coaches in the league right now...he's not better than Babs but he'd be a decent alternative.

Nope, I'll keep the Master of the Timeout and the guy that's out-coached him the last 2 games.

He looks like he's running a H&R Block behind the bench.
