It makes sense, Peters has never coached in the NHL playoffs before, so he's coaching what he knows. Problem is, the playoffs are a completely different beast and you have to play boring, tight checking, trapping hockey.
One thing I know for sure is, Monahan, Neal and Tkachuk are not the most fleet of foot skaters. So it may not be a good idea to keep these guys deep into the offensive zone while trying to defend the Avs' counter attack.
I'm glad the loss last night was an absolute ass kicking though. It wakes up the entire organization and forces necessary changes. I was hoping for changes after game 2, but I guess one more was required.
