He's not the guy I want but I haven't seen anything to suggest that he coaches the same as GG (who didn't coach a slow system anyway - he just didn't get the players to play his system quickly).

For the record, I mostly went back to check out the transition game, not for any kind of complete look. I'm not sure if "plodding" is fair, but the transition is the same that the Flames use, so on the slow side except they seemed to have generally faster players. Or maybe less slow players would be accurate.
(The obvious problem with moving up as a five man unit is that you're limited by your slowest skaters.)
Also seemed to be a lot of perimeter shots, but that just might be observation bias / sample size.
