I think that's a major failing of the coaching staff. The team needs to practice multiple defensive strategies during the season, so you can adjust based on what you're facing. Vegas was even talking about it the their post series pressers, they knew what Edm was going to do, so they went in and exploited it repeatedly because we never adapted.
Changing the strategy mid series or mid game, if we haven't practiced it, would have likely led to just as negative an outcome. You can't really fault the players (maybe only a handful of decisions on the ice) but when the game plan isn't working, one or two bad decisions don't lose you that series.
I like Woodcroft, and I'm hopeful he can learn and grow from the experience. Perhaps this is the difference between an NHL coach with 1.5 years of NHL experience vs a coach with 7 NHL seasons. The difference between AHL and NHL adjustments and preparation.
