All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Sabres will either be implementing Ducks, BlackHawks or Lightning's system this season. It's a given that 98.9% other NHL teams usually copy the Stanley Cup victors style of play. That said I hope the BlackHawks win the Stanley Cup I how they play
They'll play Pittsburgh Penguins style, ie...underachieving.
As much as Crosby and Malkin were hurt during his tenure, I'm not sure that he really underachieved THAT much. In fact, they were a better team when they were without one of the two. His credentials are right there with Mike Babcocks....

If you look at the numbers, puck possession, 5-on-5 play, how many games Crosby and Malkin missed, the AHL level talent of the bottom six, the less than stellar d, Fleury's troubles, one can argue that Bylsma did quite a good job in his tenure with the Pens. Surely, there are places he could improve, but he's a solid hire. Some people seem to enjoy spouting negativity, even when one can make a rational case to at least wait and see.

My brother is a die hard Pens fan, so I've watched a lot of their games. Bylsma is a guy that can do a lot with a little.
Also to, no one seems to mention how much worse then Pens were this year without the underachieving Bylsma....
Bylsma is way overrated. Every other coach wins Stanley Cups without the type of talent Bylsma has had. It's not like the two teams currently left have elite talent like Steven Stamkos, Patrick Kane, or Jonathan Toews.

Let's also not forget that Bylsma was the fastest coach to 250 wins and has won the Stanley Cup more recently that Babcock.
How many "systems" the last decade were revolutionary ply styles?
If you think of a few then that is what a true system is.
Personally i think systems in general are BS... Other than Play offense, Defense, and score then play defense some more and prevent scoring then paly offense and score.

disagree with that one. Scheme could be something simple like the right side D steps up on the pass through the neutral zone so everyone on the ice knows where to cover. It helps if the guys on the ice know where each other are going.
