Okay, that's fair. But to the question itself, are Tortorella and Gulutzen unique in this regard? Moreover, I think that given your criticism we should also then ask whether Gulutzen emulates Tortorella in every aspect, or has he picked and chosen his methods from a larger repertoire of coaches? Are there things that he does that are unique?
I think it is a mistake to point to one tactic and to assume its effectiveness on the basis of who does or does not employ it, unless we can actually track this correlation. In this case, I don't think we can.
