That *may* be true, but it's hard to know without being fully aware of what the "system" is.
There's a few questions to figure out first:
- does the system suck (ie poor idea overall)?
- does the system fit the players (small players may not be able to bang & crash effectively; big ones might not be able to move fast enough)?
- does the style of play actually work in today's NHL (if a lot of "obstruction" is intentional, it might not be...)?
- have the coaches communicated the system effectively enough with the players (video and blah)?
The above are all on the coaches...then one can query the players:
- even if all the above are not the case, do the players have the will to execute in EVERY game? (If not, what are the coaches gonna do about it?)
Oddly, it's not that different from consulting to businesses that are having issues.
