His system of pack the middle and let them ring the boards is insane. They will eventually get an open shot. No one challenges the point or tries to block a shot and the dmen won't tie up a guy in the crease. The system is built on the goalie making the save and we clear the rebound. The Preds clearly showed last season in the playoffs that challenging the shooters and blocking shots gives you a much better chance for success.
This article goes a long way to show that Q doesn't adapt his systems to fit his players, their strengths, talents, etc. He tries to change the players to fit his old ass, washed-up systems. And that rarely, if ever, works.
