After taking a night to consider the series, that was one of the best coaching duels I've seen in a while. There were so many interesting adjustments over the series.
From Tocchet starting by line matching Lindholm to Nashville clogging up all the lanes and letting the Canucks cycle forever, to the Canucks adjusting by using the behind the net space, to the Predators playing the man behind the net, to the Canucks using that to pull their defense away from the front of the net.
This wasn't two anemic teams struggling to get anything going, it was two extremely well coached system teams.
I thought the same thing. There were effective adjustments made throughout this series on both sides. Excellent coaching.
