This I will agree with.
It seems that Gulutzan wants to play the super-safe brand of hockey. Which is boring.
Furthermore, its slow. He would probably prefer to call it 'possession-based' hockey but what it really amounts to is: waiting.
You wonder why our powerplay entry sucks? Because its slow.
Possession is all well and good, but if you arent moving the puck quickly it allows everyone else to get good and ready for your next, painfully predictable, move.
You mentioned Johnny. Why is he effective? Because hes fast and difficult to predict.
