Let's pretend this is true, that teams don't change after winning a cup because it worked not only once but in this particular case, it worked twice. Then in their 3rd attempt, literally every team in the league took notice not only once, but twice and made adjustments after the 1st cup, then again after the 2nd cup so in the 3rd year when the Penguins were trying to win...not only did they take notice, they adapted, adjusted and the league got faster.How often does a team change what made it successful immediately after winning a championship?
I feel like you pop up every so often to offer the same arguments, you receive the same rebuttals, and then you disappear again. It's strange--your posts give the impression that you care more about being perceived as "right" than you care about the team actually winning games.
In that time, our coach preached the ever so ugly phrase of "play our game" or something to that extent. Which many of our previous failed coaches have done, time and time again, even in the face of teams that have not only adapted and adjusted to us, but have over come what this team has done in that time and know how to work us.
The team doesn't make any attempts to adjust and adapt, it thinks the line-up is the issue.
IT LITERALLY THINKS THE PLAYERS ARE THE ISSUE.
It's absurdly clear its the system, it needs to adapt and adjust to what the league is now, this is a much faster league and it's the Penguins own doing, so how do they fix it? First, a deep dive into the system, look at it, learn and adapt.
Then make adjustments.
