While the axe won’t fall on Bylsma at the end of the regular season, it is almost Stanley Cup Final or bust for the Penguins and if they fail to reach that level Bylsma could feel the wrath.  He probably has as much pressure as any coach to get his star-studded (but injury riddled) club back to the promised land.
