last goal was pure "DA system" in action…
beaulieu twice had the puck on his stick, with no immediate pressure/room to skate away with the puck…
instead, he flicks the puck away, out of the zone.
first time, it gets stopped before the red line and dumped back in.
second time, it gets stopped again in the neutral zone, and the sens go on the attack, leading to method's goal.
Beaulieu seemed uncomfortable on both attempts, i suspect that he didn't do much of that earlier in his career (throw away the puck when he had time/space to skate it out of his zone).
instead of playing to his strengths, he was showing his commitment to Da System… the play it safe, give-the-other-team-the-puck system that is messing up the development of our skilled players to the benefit of no one.
MB had better be playing close attention, and unless this coach finds his way past the first round, get Guy Boucher's number ready...
