Sure I'd agree with that, some games it seemed it was working to some extent.
But those games were few and far between and that's what scares me most.

Our system was good enough 5v5 to get us this close to the playoffs, the power play system is what killed us I think we can all agree on that.

Could our system be better? Sure it could
Could our coach in charge with the special teams be better? Has to if we want to improve
Could we afford to bring in some better depth? Absolutely, we need more shoot first high quality scoring wingers without a doubt
Do the coaches shoulder a large part of the blame when things go so wrong all season long? Yes, they have to take responsibility to some extent
Is it the coaches job to adapt to each and every game, lineup/line combinations and ensuring the team is ready to play to the identity hes selected? Sure is, that's what he's paid to do

If I had a nickel for every time GG said "we just weren't ready to come out and play" I'd be a rich man. Now some may argue "what's he supposed to say" so I'll say he should explain himself a bit more because that got old real fast and looks terrible.
