Calgary4Life, won’t quote your post due to length
Do not forget that Keenan’s last year, the team had people playing in the playoffs with broken ribs/hands/feet, and it was the owners, not Darryl, that made the decision to fire him.
Brent tried to have a stifling system but Ward certainly doesn’t. They do try to collapse and give away the outside but at the same time they don’t really protect the slot. Yesterday Nesterov and Valimaki appeared to be where the O’s go on the whiteboard in defense 101, while Edmonton was hanging out right in front of the goalie. If this team was stifling we wouldn’t be talking about how Markstrom has kept them in games.
Unless you meant stifling their own offense. Then yes
