It's the Coaching Stupid

Adam Graves agrees with me:

Duff goes head to head

The game has changed far too significantly for it to ever happen.
Coaches today gameplan around stopping the other team. It's far easier to destroy on the ice than it is to create.
"You're thinking defence first," Graves said. "The system is the component which is the driving force. You wait and it's the team that makes fewer mistakes that wins."
