Véritable question ici, comme je la vois revenir souvent : « Le système de Keefe ne fonctionne pas ». Comme nous le savons tous, il ne s’agit plus de l’équipe des 22-23, de sorte que le style offensif a pratiquement disparu. Je sais que nous avons tous adoré, mais c’est comme ça pour le moment.
Ma question est vraiment la suivante. Si les Diables sont classés dans la première moitié de la ligue pour les buts attendus, mais sont derniers pour les buts, cela ne dépend-il pas des joueurs à ce moment-là et non du système ?
Le système est censé vous y amener (attendu), c’est aux joueurs de terminer (objectifs). Je sais qu’il y en a qui sont fermes dans leur aversion pour ce système offensif, et il y en a qui ne savent même pas quel système nous utilisons (en vous regardant Fitz). Ma réflexion est-elle erronée ou ce que je dis a-t-il un sens ?

A good coach would adapt or modify the system to suit the players he currently has, not continuously bash his head against a wall trying to make players incapable of playing his exact system magically make it work.
At some point (when every major player on the team is slumping or regressing), it makes sense to think they might not be being deployed in ways that suit their strengths. One or two guys in a big slump makes sense. Happens all the time. Damn near everybody playing below the level that we know they can play at…that sounds more systemic.
Both things can be true, but I tend to agree, players have to score the system can’t do that. Being a -9 differential is a problem too.
We’re also shooting at a terrible rate . 8%, league average is 10%-11%.
Fitz is the bigger problem for constructing this roster that ran into predictable problems, for re signing Markstrom to a massive contract when Markstrom is so often a sieve before he needed to, and for handing out no trade and no move clauses like candy.
Fitz needs to go at the end of this season for how he is mismanaging the team. Then new GM should be able to decide if he wants to keep Keefe or have a fresh start with a new coach.
This post is about « the system, » but makes no mention of the style of play. It’s an overly conservative system, which leads to less rush opportunities and is much easier to defend.
How does your chart show that it’s working? This is a team that has regularly posted a strong xGF% the last 3 years, but has been underwater all season long (look at that expected goal differential).
Even Ken Daneyko, the ultimate stay-at-home defenseman, is getting more and more exasperated about how they don’t get the puck up the ice.
You post as though 13th in xG is good enough. It is not, especially given that the 25/26 Devils are **28th (5th WORST) in xGA.**
You want to see a system matched to a roster that worked? Here you go….
