In fact it seems to me that Reinhart is the one learning that this is professional sport, and not kindergarten. Not Bylsma.
And who exactly is it not going to sit well with? The quote from team captain Gionta seems to say that the leadership group in the locker room is very much standing behind the coach's decision and that all parties will learn from it. Who exactly are these ''lots of people'' that it's not sitting well with? Fans on a message board?

Bylsma fluked out to a cup and any other coach including Greg Gilbert could have won a Jack Adams with that Pittsburgh team. Sorry if you don't agree but to dress a player just to embarrass him for the whole game is unheard of in today's game. Being a hard ass coach is one thing, being an idiot is another.
Prediction:
Bylsma gone for good by next Christmas.(maybe sooner)
