Show me a coach that talks about advanced stats on a regular basis.
I couldn't care less if he talks about advanced stats in the media. How he uses his roster is a pretty telling indicator, though.

Alright, that answers my question right there.
So, why defend Berube in this situation? You don't agree with him.

You are right Couts taking D-zone draws is important for the team to win. Do you think starting in the D-zone affects how much offense he produces.
Of course. It doesn't take a braniac to understand that pts are tied to ozone time.
Please quote this and apply direct answers.
Go to Minnesota board before Dubnyk aquistion, Go to the pittsburgh board when they were rolling through teams in the first two months of the year, Go to the Caps board when they lost to montreal as the stanley cup favorites.
Fans jump on coaches when things are down, and they praise coaches when things are up. That is just too reactionary for me. I am just the type of person that likes to take a step back and try to understand as much as i can about the situation.
If i was head coach of this team, I would make no changes to the time on ice of the players, nor their zone usage. What I would do is beg Hexy to find me a veteran 3rd line center that is good at faceoffs. If he got me that guy then bam coots and g ozone usage go way the F up.

Send VdV/Umberger-Bellemare-Read out for some DZ faceoffs. Let Couturier play with BSchenn and Simmonds some of the time. These are options Berube never tried because he was too inflexible to break up Coots and Readeven when they were struggling.
And before anyone says Umberger shouldn't be out on DZ draws, he was a lot of the time with Couturier and Read.
ok. What should he have done instead?
How many points do you think Couts could get if his o-zone starts increased to 50%?
I too can find 1 article where a coach talks about advanced stats.

So you've found an article that proves Berube doesn't know anything about advanced stats and may not even use them. He didn't even know when the team started using them, but is pretty sure it was sometime while he was head coach.
How does this help advance your argument that Berube knows this stuff?
I don't know. What do you think?
I think he could get around 50. I would love to hear an answer from you.
