I have no idea if the Flames played this season with the simplified version or the full version. Either way, hopefully that is the end of that.
I dont care honestly.

I like hearing opinions from veteran coaches where they say everybody pretty much plays a variant of the same thing.

Systems are all well and good, but there is no such thing as some magical, mystical system that if executed perfectly is guaranteed to produce wins.

Its fantasy. Bad fantasy. More 'Outlander' than 'Game of Thrones.'

The most important parts of any system are the ability to adapt and flexibility.

Glen Gulutzan's greatest failings.

He seemed adamant that if you just kept at it long enough (168 games isnt enough!) that eventually the square pegs would indeed fit in the round holes and, even more inexplicably, that this would be the desired result.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
