Ok. So all teams in the NHL have defensive structures and scout their opponents.
I hope you don't think that our beloved Flames don't require a strategy, and need to anticipate and read the opposing team's defenses.
In fact, one of the things that worked so well for Babcock in Detroit is that the players expected where their teammates should be, and this reduces the pressure of on ice uncertainty and guesswork, and contributes to the speed with which they can make decisions.
Unless I am misreading something, you have just suggested that coaching a team to help them be successful is sad.
My apologies if I have misunderstood
