I don't think that is how NHL coaching works. By and large the way coaches want to have their teams play is basically drawn from the same blue print. Coaches will find that they need to make adjustments according to the strength of their own roster and the players they have to work with. But what separates the great teams from the good teams or the poor teams is that they have enough skill throughout the lineup to orchestrate what they want.

I think this is what you are seeing in Calgary: now that the players have figured out what they need to doing, their collectively a skilled enough group to do it successfully. No amount of counter-tactical coaching from the opposition is going to unravel what waves of skill and depth provide.
