I see the point you are trying to make and I don't agree that we even have those kind of horses to pull that off.
I'll have to see us do it to even remotely believe they can pull it off.
If they're not structured to play this way then how are the players going to play it? Faltrovo your a smart dude on this forum don't let your anger of the results cloud your judgment into hating what are some very good players on this team that have collectively been poorly coached from getting the best out of them
For starters just lifting the shackles on PMD Jake Gardiner and Morgan Rielly will do wonders for this teams piss poor puck possession game. Can you imagine the impact if LA parked the bus with Doughty and Voynov what it would do to there team? They'd become the Leafs.
I'm not saying that suddenly the team will become a Stanley Cup contender but I guaranty you will have a hell of a better team than we're seeing playing like Carlyle had them play which is a step in the right direction giving a template to grow the team. We have a much better team than the way we play suggests and before we go on a rant of hating everything in blue & white the smart way of managing this team is to set the players up in a position to succeed. You know why? Cause then your in a position to make trades of value. Carlyle and his hockey has devalued so many players these past 2 years it's sickening.
