The Bruins have been better thus far, but the Coaching has been an issue for the past 3 seasons.

The cup is what I'm talking about with my Spoelstra(Coach of the Miami Heat) thing, he just had to open the door for Malkin that year, he was letting the system play out.  The only problem fans had with Therrien is he acted like a child after a loss, but I'd almost prefer that to Bylsma letting everyone have the day off from practice after two horrible losses like that.

I didn't respond to every goal because I don't see the point, of course Bylsma isn't 100% to blame for when the other team scores a goal, that team deserves credit.  But Bylsma is responsible for making Malkin and Crosby pretend they're 4th line grinders, he is responsible for making Martin, Niskanen, and Letang push the play so much,  He is responsible putting guys on the ice that shouldn't be out there(In a perfect world, yes, any player should be able to match up with any line, but I'm personally not about to put Eric Goddard out against Datsyuk and say "Good luck", some players are just physically not capable of keeping up with others, or out muscling them).

I didnt expect a respinse on every goal
There was 0 1 on 1 like Goddard vs Datsyuk would be. It was Lucic and Horton wiiiide open in front. If they out muscled or were faster then sure, but it was positioning, which apparently is the system so that falls on the players.
In what ways are Malkin and Crosby made to be 4th line grinders?

Why is it that when the Penguins win, its because of the system and because of the players, but when they lose it all falls on Bylsma? It's actually getting ridiculous the way you're allowing it to become this much of an excuse for the guys on the ice with a direct impact on the outcome. This team can do no wrong in your eyes, they have no flaws. Any flaws they do have is because of Bylsma being an absolute retard.
