I am a die hard flames fan but I grew up playing basketball up through college. I found that I had a lot more success both personally and as a team came when the coach utilized our different strengths to create a system. What I keep hearing from Glen is that the players need to buy in to the system that he is coming in with.

For those with hockey insight, is it normal for successful coaches to come in and adapt to the players he coaches based on their strengths? I just keep seeing our top players really struggle and I worry that for the next 20-30 games we will hear the same thing from Glen that the players are still learning the system and haven't completely bought in.
