Look at Hughes under Tocchet - he is as systems oriented as any coach in the league. But systems are for when the other team has the puck. In the offensive zone, with the puck, players do what they do.
I mean, look at Andersson - he has a green light to do whatever he wants offensively. Unfortunately, he can't do some of the things that Hughes and Parekh can do. But he still has a green light.
Fans read WAY too much into coaching styles (which actually don't differ too much across the league, other than zone vs man-ton-man)
