I have actually been thinking about this more and more, and it just seems a lot like "Brent Sutter" hockey. Overly safe, and completely predictable.
I remember teams cheating along the boards leaving the middle of the ice unprotected when facing Brent Sutter's Flames, but the Flames would continue throwing those pucks up the boards. They would get hemmed in their zone for what seemed like 5 minutes at a time.
It is the lack of adjustments that is really bothering me now. Green has figured out Calgary's system before their first game. I think Calgary won just based on having the superior team. The last game, Vancouver won with execution and effort - they countered Calgary's system better and out-worked Calgary to win the game (and did so seemingly embarrassing Calgary in the process).
What will the adjustments be tonight? Please don't be a Brent Sutter and come in without any adjustments to what the other team is doing. It isn't just about executing 'your system' - it is also about figuring out what to do to stop theirs.
