Not totally accurate. The Canucks were VERY committed to Green's system. They bought in and they played the right way. They're just not very good at it. The team lacked players who could make sure that when the puck was exiting the zone, it was on a Canucks stick and not a dump out. Other than Hughes and Myers no one could do it at all. It's why I am a bit excited for Juolevi, he looks like he may have that ability.
