May I ask what NHL team has implemented the Travis Green counter attack, sit in your defensive end and the get too tired to play offense because I just played an extended shift strategy and have had consistent success with it? 

Many teams have been successful playing a defensive first style of system.  And correct me if I'm wrong, TG is the only coach to win a playoff series since 2011, no?

I dont think Tocc is planning a Green show, I think he just wants the basic PK to at least be in the top 15? not the bottom, not the top.

 

I remember when we had the top PK and the top PP, Most points in the season and didnt even make the second round. You all forgot about that right.

 

We need balance, some big guys, we got the snipes. We got the goalie this time. Starting to get the defense organized and planned.

 

This is going to be a great year everyone!

I'm glad you're enthusiastic, but I don't see a world in where we win back to backs vs the Oilers lol

Ok, well if we dont win these two, I am sure we will win back to back in the playoffs. But I think both. I have huge respect for Dryes and McDonuts but I have more faith in Demko.

I sure as hell hope you're right, way too many Oiler fans at work (I live in AB) and I'm going to the Oilers home opener (with Oiler fans of course).

I think the fans and Media have overblown the Tocc defense plan.... I think he is fixing the defense while not removing the offense.

Why throw the baby out with the bathwater?

He knows we have great offense and he is not going to change the offense, he is gonna fix the defense which is better than adding more offense
