A coach can do a lot more than you're giving credit

It's not just the players deciding to transition the puck slowly and let the opposite team get set up and forcheck. It's not just the players that dump the puck in with nobody to retrieve it. That's the players playing the system they're told to by the coach. The one they work on every practice.

If they're playing like that, it doesn't matter who is on the team. You could have Crosby and Yzerman, but you get them playing like that, they're not going to do much for you. Granted the difference is Crosby and Yzerman would tell the coach to piss off
