Don't at all think this group doesn't want to play the system, think it's just been a steep learning curve and a lack of confidence and gripping the stick too tight is what caused a lot of issues.
Also think it's why somebody like Hamilton seems to have adapted quicker to the new system, he learned how to play in the NHL in strict system under Julien so it's why he was avle to adapt quicker.

Right, but I also think "the system" doesn't work against every single other team the same way. These players have learned many of them on their journey to the pros.
It's also possible for there to be multiple systems so teams can't get a good read on what you're doing.
Regardless, that's two in a row. Need to keep it going from here.
