But what exactly is GG's system? Is there an explanation of how it works - somewhere? I've been watching and all I see is what seems to be the outcome which is good all around hockey. 
But would love to understand the technical aspects he's asked of the players.

I only know the generalities but it is about 5 man units moving the puck up ice rather than stretches and dumps. It seems to involve moving the puck through the middle of the ice more. They cycle more than throwing back to the point, though they don't ignore an open defenceman. In their own zone they don't play as passively as Hartley's collapsing defence, but they still block lanes.
