Relax my friend! I don't believe RB was doing that.

Oh my sweet summer child.

I mean, he did write the article

Love the part about being open to change systems to get a more north-south game going. It's a copycat league and it's worked pretty damn well for the Penguins these past two years.

Dagoon seems to think they did. ..

That settles it.

Sounds like AV might have actually pulled his head out of his ass on this one

I'll be fascinated to see if they actually change up the defensive system. I know they said they "tweaked it" last year and at times I thought I could see some of that, but the amount of running around in their own zone was still high

Ruff has only won 1 play off series in the last 10 years. The defense on his teams have never been above 14th in the league and his PK was even worse. How he is the best fit for a defensive coach is laughable.

Maybe because this is likely the best group of defensemen he will work with in his career?

I say it's worth a shot.
