Sabres' Bylsma says there's pressure to coach defense

Source: WGR-AM

‘One thing Bylsma came up with which I felt took away the offense is on the opening faceoff, he’d put out Josh Gorges with Rasmus Ristolainen along with one forward. Almost all teams play two forwards and a defenseman as does Bylsma, but he wanted to slow down the overtime by being in good position to play defense. If Buffalo won the draw, they couldn’t attack because they had to wait for Gorges to make a sprint over two lines to the bench to get the other forward out. If they lost the draw, they’d go with two D until they could get possession.’
