I think a big problem with Rod's coaching style is that it demands we give playoff effort every night for 82 games. By Game 60, we were absolutely gassed, and now we look like we are skating on fumes. And with a game every other day for the remainder of the season, we have no rests remaining, and its just going to be like this until the postseason.... At which point we play back to back until we either lift the Cup or are eliminated.
There's a reason why teams don't go balls to the wall for every game every year.
