And, for the record, I'm more "win or lose and it's on the team, including coaches" except when the team either (a) makes a brilliant series of plays to win (the two shifts prior to the goal) or (b) makes a totally boneheaded play to lose the game (as the PP play above would indicate, if they'd lost).
The coaches aren't on the ice, but GG *can* attempt to interrupt negative flow with a timeout. It may, or may not, work.

The PP and the PK had slightly different personnel and configuration last night.
For example, Brodie was taken off the 1st PP and Gio was put on.
And they used 3 PK forward groups instead of just 2.
The 3 PK forward groups used were Backlund-Brouwer, Janko-Hathaway & Bennett-Stajan.
This makes way more sense because they finally broke up the doubly slow Stajan-Brouwer tandem and put 1 fast forward with both Brouwer and Stajan on the PK rather than insist on continuing to have both of them together yet again.
