I've always been of the mind that elite athletes don't get there without the work ethic to match as a general rule. A coaches job isn't to push them, it's to maximize the work the athlete is already putting in through system, deployment, etc.

man ROR is a beast. the only one not only to have more d starts than o starts but the only one that isn't extremely skewed to ozone starts.


but yeah, Matthews is an absolute beast, especially when you account for all the wingers leeching off their elite Cs there.

Maybe the leafs shouldnt have played him and Marner 25mpg.
 
Coaches barely go in the room anymore. Their job is to prepare the team with practice and video and manage their bench.

That’s why idiot that don’t have a system, can’t make adjustments and just say “be direct and dig in” get caved in by real NHL teams.

Berube had a system. But it was easy to play against.

It might just work for the Loilers, tho
