Watching this team year after year, it looks like there is something functionally wrong with the coaching culture. Getting away from management critiques, when I see them play in person (like last night), the mistakes being made on the ice are all basic in nature and should be able to be reduced or eliminated but it never happens.
When Hitch got here, the team implemented a basic Bantam-level breakout plus a similar level defensive end coverage setup- and were successful. Within a couple of weeks that success faded because they stopped playing basic sensible hockey. Look at the PK: after they ditched the "I" formation and got into the aggressive box formation they were effective, but for some reason over the past two months they now scramble, chase, collapse, collide and fail. Who the frolic is responsible for allowing this to happen??? Pee Wee Coaching 101 for crying out loud! The PP: they wouldn't put Yak on the right side for the one timer, thought Letestu on the left side was the answer, gave up, put Connor on the right side, worked okay for a bit, then "Hey let's try Drai on the right side where he can shoot one timers past the goalies all night?" - wow, hide the hamster, putting a player in a position to use his assets to score works!!! Chiasson decides that playing hard in front of the net and scoring Esposito goals is worthwhile - GET HIM OFF THAT LINE.
So my accusation here is that the coaching staff is failing to use the roster in an effective manner. Completely reactionary, not proactive at all. It looks like the coaches have plans (like Eakins' brilliant "run around like Mini-Mites at the outdoor" defence) that have no bearing with reality, no chance of success and no intent of using players' assets wisely. We have a plan, it's our way or the highway!!! But it's failing - BECAUSE YOU ARE A CANCER IN THE DRESSING ROOM.
Now is this because they are being micromanaged from above? I don't know. But why would successive coaches and assistant coaches all start using the same unsuccessful systems over the course of almost two decades? Smells like culture.
