On Wednesday, Jeff Petry went before the media and said that the game plan built by Dominique Ducharme was demanding. He took the trouble to add "but it works", showing that if all the soldiers respect it, the Habs will be successful again.
One thing to remember here, and the excellent Danièle Sauvageau explained it perfectly on 98.5 Sports, is that Dominique Ducharme's system takes time to master, but once it is embraced by all the soldiers, it becomes very effective and can guide a team to the Stanley Cup Final.
"The moment you change one member of the line... the synergy and dynamics change completely. Dominique Ducharme's system, it takes time. There have been a lot of changes," said Sauvageau.
