I found a lot of threads discussing defense, but not addresssing the defensive scheme...so, here’s my question:
You hear a lot about good coaches adapting their schemes to the available talent, but everything I’ve seen about Buffalo’s D revolves around the (forced?) implementation of Housley’s preferred “offensive” defense. I’m stationed overseas and got to watch exactly one game all of last season so I’d like to know to what extent, if at all, did our coaching contribute to our defensive (and goaltending) deficiencies last season.
I’d welcome your informed opinions.
