For me, 2018/19 was a tale of two seasons.

Up until the all-star break, or thereabouts, they were fantastic - and they played very much like this team does: fast tempo, pressure the puck all over the ice, forecheck like crazy.

But then their style changed, the speed and pressure disappeared, and they began that two year, two coach period of playing really slowly, and chipping the puck from zone to zone. There has been lots of talk that Peters and the coaching staff determined that they needed to change their style of play to be successful in the playoffs. I have never seen confirmation of this, but their style definitely changed.

Until that time, I thought Peters did a great job. But (along with that), my other big issue with him was that, when things started to go bad against Colorado, he had no answers. His ability to adapt was non-existent.
