10:11 AM ET 05.30 | Pens GM Ray Shero gave a vote of confidence to coach Dan Bylsma, who took over from Michel Therrien in February. "I called him that day and told him to think about it. He called me back five minutes later and told me he had no reservations."

Crosby, Malkin, J.Stall, A perfroming Fleury, All long term...I wouldn't have reservations either.

Nope. Who would dare pass on the opportunity. Win or lose, we are glad Bylsma came on board!!!

Why would he?
Go coach in the NHL with last years cup finalists.
Frankly, I'm surprised he had to hang up for those 5 minutes to decide.

If you have ever read any of Dan Bylsma's books that he wrote with his father, you would know that this man brings class to an organization that has been totally devoid of it in recent years. I am no Pens fan, but I hope they succeed for him. The only drawback is that would mean seeing even more of that overrated, over hyped Crosby.

he in finlas he should get a vote of confidence

Often the vote of confidence is followed by a firing within a few months if even. Good luck the rest of the way!

Bylsmagic has done a fantastic job since taking over the team and deserves it.

You sir, are correct.

Wow...what a generous move by Shero...you mean that if you coach a team to the Stanley Cup Finals, you need a vote of confidence? Next thing you know Shero will be telling Crosby that he won't be traded!
