Berubes system hasn’t brought much of an identity. I was always very hesitant in hiring a tough coach for a soft core. They get outhit regularly, they’re soft on the forecheck and back check. The special teams have been especially alarming. He’s reduced offensive ability of key forwards while not replacing it with defence or toughness. Kind of a rough start IMO. The defence itself, I am kind of on the fence whether it’s his system or the addition of Tanev and OEL but there has been some improvement. Stolarz is shaping up to be amazing but on nights when Woll gets the net it gives me serious Babcock/Keefe vibes of a team that just won’t go far.
