I just can't believe like 25-30 teams in the league seem to fall victim to it the exact same way.

Is there not a coach that does some actual preparation, studies the tape on him and final solution's tendencies on the PP, or is willing to get creative?

Or geeen light the old school physical deterrent approach?

I'm positive this explosion in McDavid points has directly coincided with the league getting notably softer and less physical on defense than it was in the Crosby prime era.
