Can't fault Shero for sticking with his man however I'm not sure how they can expect better playoff results from a coach that has been outcoached badly in the playoffs four straigh seasons now. I feel when you are in a 'Win now' mode that regular season success isn't enough for a coach to keep his job if he continues to fail in the playoffs especially in the spectacularly poor fashion the Penguins have in the past two seasons. I expect this contract buys Blysma one more season and if the crash and burn in the playoffs next season they will eat the rest of the deal.
I'm no GM or expert on coaches but it's been a long time since I remember a head coach that had so much talent on his team and so few answers or adjustments in a best of seven series.
