That is rough.

I think that one specific system does work in the NHL, but more so the regular season. No way you'd find teams willing to open up the neutral zone and trade end to end rushes in the playoffs.
That's why I think run & gun is an archaic style, it just doesn't translate in the playoffs. I'm assuming that's why Bill Zito was willing to move on from Huberdeau and his President's Trophy winning coaching staff, he knew they needed to change and it ended up being a smart move. Too bad for us that Zito was the one playing Chess while Treliving was the one playing Checkers.
