Because from what I’ve seen and what I’ve remembered, there isn’t much difference at all, all 3 had very similar if not identical systems. Milan Lucic just the other day, said to the media that it’s the exact same system. The same system that got them into the playoffs, the same system that saw Sam Bennett play the best hockey (playoffs) of his career and the same system that won them the series against the Jets. If someone could tell me what part of this system that’s still confusing to the players, then I’d like to know.

A lot of people talk about Ward’s system like they are in practice listening, but then I watch games and just don’t see all the things they claim Ward preaches. At least with GG he was pretty transparent about talking about his systems and he made a point of citing Babcock (who Peters would have drawn from as well).
And of course, after all these coaches it’s hard to tell when a player is doing something Ward is coaching or if he’s reverting to an older style out of habit in the heat of the moment.
