Some of the most recent games are emblematic of a wacky NHL season full of lead changes and, of course, goals galore. 'Probably not a lot of fun for the goaltenders. But for the fans, it’s great.” PierreVLeBrun on the scoring boom.
“The game is in transition, and the offensive side of coaching has overtaken the defensive side,” Yzerman said. “Now coaches are going to have to adjust and come up with better defensive techniques or systems.”Yup. The Dead Puck era is a memory. That was the hope when the NHL came out of the 2005 lockout. And it goes beyond just that year. The reality is that GM meetings ever since have been about tweaking rules to create more offense.
Do we call it the Adam Oates Revolution, all this focus on skills development? Or Darryl Belfry? There’s a long line of skills development coaches around hockey at all levels.“I never had that in my whole life growing up. Last summer was the first summer I worked on individual skills stuff,” Doughty said. “I had never done that my whole career. I would just scrimmage all summer. That’s how I would get ready for the season. This was the first summer I did that.
“The generation that’s entering the league now only knows that,” McLellan said. “It never played any other way.”Barry Trotz has sat back this season and watched games from around the league as he enjoys his reset away from the NHL. But he’s obviously still seeing this continued offensive explosion with a coach’s eye.
It’s always been the case that coaches understood the team losing would have a push within a game. Surviving it was a matter of knowing it was coming and not being caught off guard. “Teams end up defending rather than checking, and there’s a difference,” Trotz said. “Checking is moving your feet and angling and making it hard to penetrate or get through the neutral zone or get through to your net. Young teams now, it seems, when they get a lead, they back straight up. There’s not a lot of angling, and the spacing is off. Players are able to come through the middle of the ice with speed, pop it, get it back, create some offense, odd-man rushes happen.
