We played 4 straight games against the Canucks, almost like a mini-playoff series. They figured out our system and countered it nearly perfectly.
Ward had 4 games against the same opponent to devise a way to adapt and overcome. When we play more of these 4 game series against the other teams in the division, they're gonna smoke us.
Ward preaches about playing consistently, and comes up with brand new line combos tonight that haven't experienced success together. Where is the consistency when your linemate is changing all the time? And then it all gets blended up even further in-game too.
Ward should take a page out of his own coaching book.
