Different styles yes but same not good enough team and not good enough talent.

The root cause of a lot of deadly GA has not been the forwards flying the zone and the crap that a lot of people say. Again, the 5 hole goal the game before last was inexcusable. The game winner was Bouwmeester whiffing then letting the guy walk out. And two instances of Butler throwing the puck out brutally ... this is not a result of risk taking resulting in ignoring the defensive game. This is awful defensive brain farts. Plays that individuals make which are very bad individual costly decisions. Surely you can see that. And this decision making is something I believe Hartley can respond to more effectively than the last guy. I think he can add O to the mix and not at the expense of D
