Hathway - Janko - Brouwer, which we saw part of tonight, might be the worst third line in the entire league. I don't know what buffalo's got but it would be tough to get worse than that.
You put Glass in because Lazar took an absolutely brutal interference penalty yesterday that started the momentum slide, and undisciplined play will kill you in the NHL (we saw that tonight).
The Penguins fired Bylsma AFTER LOSING IN THE STANLEYCUP FINAL IN THE PREVIOUS SEASON.
The flames got friggin' swept.
Get some perspective.

What are you talking about? Bylsma was hired in February of ‘09, and won the Stanley Cup. Prior to that, he was coaching in the AHL. My point was that there is a history of firing coaches late in the season.
Also, all the reasons you tried to bring up effectively prove Gully can’t coach worth a damn.
When faced with the option between playing NHL players, and non-NHL players, a good coach would make obvious choice.
