The reason I ask that is because I hear "we don't want to be just a rush team" all the time. Ok...so now everyone is playing the same dump and chase style with cycling the puck? so now everyone (teams) get a 50% corsi and what difference is there in play between teams?
I am going to go out on a limb here and say even though we were a "rush" team...if we had a better coach teaching the team how to get out of our zone properly by not just chipping it off the glass...we might actually have been kinda good.
I think there was an article back in December that showed what % of our goals were scored off the rush..and it was crazy high..like 70%+ were scored by rush. That just shows that we should have embraced that aspect and tuned it a bit instead of trying to make them a cycle team that did not have the forwards to do it properly.
I dunno anymore...I am just curious if there are any teams out there that actually play's as a rush team and are successful at it. I think we could have been half decent if not for the stupid "collapse"defense that RC used. It was just too hard to get anything going after they chased the puck around for 45 seconds because of that stupid system.
I am not saying it is the way to go, but at the same time, if that is the best way to utilize your talents...maybe you go that route until you can get better players to fit the system you want to use vs the system that works now.
