But additionally can't see it as coaching either, since that's pretty much PK 101. Make a box and keep it to the outside. Nobody would coach anything but that.
Differences are in exchanges (when you leave the box), or how hard you pressure the puck carrier, or what you do when the puck's up the ice.
But I can't see any one in the Flame's room uttering "and if a guy gets inside the box and goes to the slot, just leave him. Don't give him a second thought".

But player selection and blue line strategies as well as puck retrieval strategies are PK coaching problems. It's too bad we don't have zone entry data, but the opposing team is given the blue line every time while the box retreats. It's so annoying. I bet successful zone entries allowed are triple what zone entries for on the PP are. It's awful and that's on Bob
