Coleman is the one player who never cheats in a system designed to facilitate cheating. Truthfully, the whole league is gravitating towards "move, move, move" at the expense of doing the so-called little things, as if only guys like Coleman execute at a high level.
One team is going to win the cup in a really definitive fashion by playing an excellent game along the boards and then the whole league will once again realize that you have to accept that 50/50 puck situations are most of where the game is played and you have to make sure that your roster is prepared to win those all the time.
It's a copycat league. Not that long ago everybody was playing "heavy" hockey because Boston and LA were winning. Then Pittsburgh went back to back playing more of a speed game and suddenly it's all about speed.
I think part of our issue is we try to play that kind of game, but still don't have the talent/depth to execute it consistently. We did last year when everybody pulled their weight and we got good enough goaltending and an MVP season from Hall, plus strong performances from the kids. This year pretty much all of that has gone the opposite direction (with the exception of Nico and maybe Bratt who have played well for the most part).
