Agree, I don't know if were ever terrible, slow, un-creative or one dimensional, but under the Gulutzan system they had to think to much and not just play to their own natural strengths, it's hard to play the speed game and keep your feet moving when your wondering if your out of position, Gulutzan's system confused players and if you think too much it slows you down, particularly at center ice when they got caught on line changes, it was like the puck was a grenade and they couldn't wait to give it away, almost like each line had a different system.
I'm not a big fan of this hire but i'm a huge fan of the fire
