The Offseason Review Series.

Over the next few weeks, The Pond will take a look at how different aspects of the team performed throughout the 2010-2011 season, and consider the criticisms offered about them.  This will be a series of posts updated pretty frequently to give us as fans an opportunity to look towards the 2011-12 season and discuss any areas which we would like to see the Pens improve upon in the future.

Up First:  Coach Dan Bylsma: 

We will look back at HCDB's promotion to head coach of the Penguins as well as his first two full seasons at the helm of the club.  After his unparalleled success during his inaugural season, the Penguins have seemed to digress a bit failing to make it past the first and second round of the playoffs in consecutive years.  Is this digression due to Bylsma's lack of change in the club's system, or is it simply that the Penguins suffered a few series of bad breaks the past two seasons that led to an early conclusion of their seasons?  Look for the first post of this series sometime this evening or tomorrow.
