The players regroup backwards as a unit so often that they've forgotten to just grab the puck and skate it out of our zone or into the other teams zone. Watch any puck battle (which we rarely win, but thats a separate issue) that we pickup, we never just attack or skate it, its always flip back to the defense then try to work our way up the ice a group of 5.

It's the exact same complaint we had under GG.
It's like they switched to the uptempo system, had a tonne of regular season success, and then when they got crushed in the playoffs the coaching staff decided uptempo was too risky and would never work, threw out the whole system and went back to safe/slow hockey.
