[Halford&Brough] Boudreau: “All I know is I’ve won a Presidents trophy, a Jennings trophy, & we used the same system. We can talk about structure all we want, but I think it was overblown.”

I agree with Bruce. Sure, we could have had better structure but structure can only take you so far with a bad D core and shitty goaltending.
Boudreau’s contract with the team ends in two weeks, he said he can’t talk about certain things until then. It’s going to be interesting to see what he says when he can speak freely.
Good coaches change their system to suit their player’s strengths and address their weaknesses.
Not saying he didn’t try to adjust, but it was obvious it wasn’t working. Love Bruce and he’s earned his hardware but all coaches have peaks and valleys with how the game develops too.
But no success in playoffs… Structure may matter Bruce!
