You're right...they reinvented this whole new system that the players have all learned in a full 2 weeks of pre season and are executing this to the point where they are breaking 100yr old Habs records
Or, you know, they changed some things that favor puck possession more?
The players are saying they are playing the same system, the coach is saying they're playing the same system, the guys calling the game are saying it's the same system, the country's best analyst are saying they are playing the same system, I say they are playing the same system, geez....even Nilan that's played the game for 45yrs and knows a thing or two about systems since he's played in the NHL and worked under Lemaire says they play the SAME SYTEM!!! ....guess ALL of us are wrong and you are right.....who knew
You mean the same management who refused to admit the Habs were playing more of a defensive style? To the point where the GM lashed out at a journalist for claiming such a thing?
The same analysts who were saying how the Habs over-relied on Price last season?
The same players kept talking about defense, that also discussed needing more offense, and have now switched their tune to puck possession?
The same ones who apparently have zero info on their best player's injury?..It's as if Price is away on a space mission and they have no form of communication.
We aren't opting for the ''safe play'' at every opportunity. You want to say it was the player poorly executing last year? Well that's fine, but that means the same thing.
We are playing different than last year. I don't think you are understanding this.
You can say it's the same system as the last two years but we're finally executing it properly, at the end of the day, we're playing differently.
I'm guessing because when they cross the Blue line on the offensive side and they hold onto it at a 20% higher rate, this to you is changing the system??? The system always had a plan at either bringing it in or dumping it in, this year, like Weise said..they are executing the plan better therefore can control the puck more efficiently!!......I hope this clarifies things for you, but something tells me it won't..
I think you guys are playing this little foolish game not to admit the team is playing differently.
As I said before, you can say anything, the proof is in the pudding. I'm not imagining things here. The team is entertaining, last year I was falling asleep. So we're definitely not playing the same.
You can say it's the same system, if they're executing it better that means they're playing differently.
System A poorly executed means you aren't actually playing System A. Get it?
I'm sure you're a really smart guy, we just will never see eye to eye on this one
If you can't admit the team is playing differently then you're right, we will never agree.
