When you think of a Pat Burns team, you automatically think of a defensive, hard working, well coached structured team that played with passion.
Pat Quinn was an entertaining, tough, free flow team, with set lines and good chemistry. Gap control was one thing I knew Quinn would stress. Lots of emotion on Quinn teams.
Ron Wilson? We all know it was offence with little attention to the defensive side of the game. I would say a passionless coach and team.
Randy Carlyle, when I think of his teams, I think top 6, bottom 6, with stars and toughness. The defensive tag maybe a bit exagerated, but he is a good defensive coach who still allows for creativity.
What I have noticed, from this early start, is the team has simplified the game, with an emphasis on back pressure, and finishing checks. Everyone has a role, and he makes you feel important whether you are the shutdown center, star scorer, or tough guy on the team.
This team is starting to get an identity, just unclear what it is yet?
