That approach has not really worked well. Abandoning defense and hoping to be the Greatest Show on Ice is a recipe for disaster. That said, I do know that is exactly the type of team that AV wants, but again, if Henke is not the best player on the ice, this team does not win. Not with this approach.
I'm not sure they have any other way to play. recipe for disaster does not seem quite right, they are pretty successful doing what they do, but I agree their coverage has issues but part of that stems from them pushing, trying to pinch, making long passes and whatnot. If they are not going to be aggressive towards those means I'm not sure where that leaves them.
I don't mind the aggression, but that also means without a high level of execution, tape to tape stuff, it's going to bite them.
The other thing which we did not even see yet, how do they play with a lead? I think that failed them more than anything at least in the playoffs, coaching and the players need to keep the aggressive stuff going. Sitting back and allowing the other team to dictate the pace while they allow easy entries, and do the Benny Hill in their own zone, while that may work against some teams especially in the regular season, I do think against the better teams in the league, in a playoff series... it's a bad idea.
