How convenient that Tippet has always played the same system regardless of his team or personnel
Yea, that's the urban legend, anyway. With Dallas Tippett had elements of his Coyotes system for sure but he didn't play a pure dump and chase. I remember Dallas playing a heavy defensive game but Tippett allowed more offensive creativity.
Talent wills out. Tippett was more successful in Dallas because he had more talent to win with.
111 points, 97 points, 112 points, 107 points, 97 points, 83 points.
Those numbers don't come with the trapping, dump, chase and pray system he had to use with the Coyotes. Tippett clearly adapts his system to the talent at hand.
