Systems are overrated. It’s not the system that makes Darryl a great coach.
Hockey isn’t complicated - you try to funnel picks to the net in the offensive zone, you hold the blue line, and force the play to the outside in the defensive zone.
Darryl is a stickler for details and responsible play.
“Systems” are what bad coaches blame for poor results when they don’t have the players. To his credit, Darryl isn’t blaming the system, and I don’t know if another coach is getting any extra blood from this stone.
Ironically, on a team with better centre depth than they’ve had in 25 years, they have no “centre” holding it together.
Now, get Huberdeau one of the top-3 centres in the upcoming draft to work with, we might have the start of something.
