Not sure why he want a way from that. With the talent on this team, we should easily be able to transition to a different style play game to game and even period to period and shift to shift. We have it in us to get teams off balance

The 1-3-1 is a situational trap. If you used it all the time, you'd get murdered.

You'd also be the Tampa Bay Lightning.

No i get that, just saying, you looked like he was trying out different styles of play and not sure why he went away from that.

You play one way in the neutral zone (both offensively and defensively), one way in the offensive zone, one way in the defensive zone, and obviously different ways with the special teams.
The most glaring issue that needs to be addressed is the breakout. That's what's killed the Penguins for the last 3 years. They want to go North quickly. Other teams know that. The Flyers played a 1-3-1 SEVERAL times this series. That's the same system they mocked just a few short months ago. They know it works. Take the home run stretch pass away and the Penguins suffocate. They need to come back to go forward. You can't pass the puck through 4 defenders from blueline to blueline.
The offensive zone system is perfect. The defensive zone system is fine when executed properly. The Penalty Kill worked all year until the guys brain farted their way out of the first round.
If we're changing anything, let's change the breakout and leave everything else alone. The 1-2-2 is perfect for this team.

"System" is a very general term used by people that are upset about something but have no other way of conveying it.

DB's system that he put in after that is an absolute failure in the post season, played it for 3 years, got bounced every year.
