Gulutzen's system doesn't tell Johnny to bobble the puck in tight or Bennett to take bad penalties. It doesn't cause the goalies to have sub 0.800 save percentages. It doesn't make Chaisson miss the net on open cages on glorious 2 on 1 chances.
I hate that Gulutzen puts our higher producing pp unit on half as much as the lower producing one. I hate that Hamilton gets 5 minutes a night (6 minutes at 5v5) less that Wideman. I hate that Johnny plus Chaisson is a thing.
But to put it on a system that had actually worked is silly

I wouldn't use shots and chances from games where they are down 3+ goals to justify the system working. I would look at games they win or are close in to see how it is working.
Teams don't keep pushing when they have big leads which leads to shot/chance imbalance.
