The systems - debate them, fine. But no system makes Gaudreau pass to Monahan when he’s blanketed. No system has Bennett pass to a Leaf along the boards.
And a lot of the passes which were botched were ones which posters here complain the system doesn’t permit. Across to the weak side, stretch passes, up the middle.

Botched plays happen.
But when every shift is a botched play, by four lines and three d pairs, every game it is no longer a botched play by these professional athletes. It is a style of play being pursued, if unsuccessfully.
The fact that Ward "liked" our 3rd period reinforces that.
