Agree, but it also has to respond to what the opposition does to counteract the PP. An effective PK would cause PP inconsistency, and if the PP morphs in response to it, it shows that the coaching exists and is effective. We saw that during the year, the strategies changed in response to what the PK was doing. I don't see that as bad.

I don't agree. When teams started going high on Johnson, he didn't adapt as soon as he should have. This is on coaching to identify shooter trends against a goaltender and help the goaltender to adapt. I didn't see the adaptation.
