He tells himself that, statistically speaking, it's the best way to go and NEVER changes it up no matter what, because we've all seen this movie before in HD and he has a track record with this strategy.
Edmonton craters.
Calgary cheers.

Frankly splitting up their centres is probably actually a smart move, just to try something to get secondary scoring. Defending Draisaitl and McDavid together is way easier. Their D are already split RH/LH except that they only have two RH shots so Russell has to pretend to be RH.
Talbot - I bet theny never bite the bullet and go with Koskinen completely. And if they do, I think he wilts.
Nothing GG could do, no matter how smart or dumb, is going to change the fact they are slow, untalented and disfunctional as a team. "Hey we drafted the fastest guy in the NHL. Let's build a grinding team".
