Here's my biggest concern with Peters system ...
He plays a tight gap game with everyone playing "up". That works great if your players are a) fast and b) fast mentally because you put so much pressure on the opposition that you are relentless and suffocating.
As a result you'll get the majority of shot attempts, shot and scoring chances ... GOOD
But also as a result is a team that could be flat footed when a mistake happens and you turn the puck over. That happens enough and you're down because you've given up two or three grade A chances and the other team has managed to score. Suddenly you're chasing the game and score effects once again drive your shot attempts way up.
Hope I'm wrong.
