As some have said, changing the "system" doesn't work with the current lineup, but a fast and skilled attack even with some smaller players can be successful. There is nothing wrong with Gourde, Johnson, Palat or Killorn, but they are now being asked to play a style that doesn't necessarily work well for them. However, very few players on Tamps seem to care at all right now, outside of 4 or 5 guys. The PK and PP are atrocious, guys look either disinterested or lost out there, and a couple high profile players(ahem Kucherov especially) look like they'd rather be doing anything else. It looks more and more like maybe the players have tuned out Cooper, and if they don't click soon then a coaching change needs to happen if this season is to be saved.
