I refuse to believe that so many of our top players have forgotten to play hockey. Johnny especially, since his performance at the World Cup was so good despite coming off summer break.
This is totally on the coaches. GG doesn't know how to coach these players, or his "system" doesn't work at all or doesn't work with these players. He's stubbornly trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
Either way, he needs to make an adjustment to his methods; and if he continues to refuse, then he shouldn't be coaching in the NHL anyway. Even if he gets his system implemented, then other teams will eventually adapt and so he'll have to change the system sooner or later.
