If you bother to browse social media before, during, and after Buffalo Sabres losses – I mean games! – you almost certainly have either come across or even created a Tweet that goes something like this:
Just gonna take a moment to work a “Fire Dan Bylsma” in here this evening.

Yes, Dan Bylsma is the head coach that Sabres fans love to hate, and the “Fire Dan Bylsma” chant has been alive and well since, oh, October. Supporters of Bylsma point out that he won a Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh; meanwhile, detractors point out that he inherited a team with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, for goodness sakes, and that you literally could have sat a monkey on the bench and watched as the Penguins won the Cup.
