I'll say this: I don't want to hear anything about the 'system' passed the first month of the season. Systems are BS. Hockey is a simple game. Keep the puck away from your net and force your man to the outside in the defensive zone. Do the opposite in the offensive zone.

What's Scotty Bowman's system? Toe Blake? Glen Sather? Systems are nothing - you need to be able to match wits with the best in the game, figure out what the other side is doing, counter it, motivate 23 millionaires, be a pillar in the community, and handle the media among other things. It's a hard gig, and if was easy, everyone would do it. But if the best thing you can say about a coach is he's got a great system, that is a bad head coach.
