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
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

Fairpoints, I never said he was a quitter and I never said he didn't do what the coach asked. That wasn't my concern. Sometimes hockey players think they need to be scoring points but whats important is the team work and defensive play. I don't disagree with anything you've said. It's just that as a player coming from Florida Panthers who put up a lot of points, he wouldnt be familar with a different style of play that focuses on the defensive side of the game.
