Thing is Huberdeau didn’t “tune out” Sutter. He did what he was asked
The offensive system was high volume, low probability and they got burned
The defensive system was good at shot suppression but imo they had costly egregious breakdowns leading to too many grade As
Most teams play a more effective offensive system
Few teams play a more stifling defensive system, but it demands excellence and attention to detail
Boston didn’t have high PDO because they were “lucky”. They had high PDO because they were above average both offensively and defensively
I am not concerned about the team tuning out the new coach. I just hope the new coach has them above average in both o and d
And geez, the guy went from 2nd in the league to pretty pedestrian. Why wouldn’t he comment on why he thinks it happened?
We watched the hockey. It was boring and ineffective. He’s a passer. They were 31st in o zone passes.
I’d be concerned if he *didn’t* understand what the problem was, not that he said it out loud
