Every incoming head coach pledges to put his stamp on his new team. Every one of them insists he will change the culture. Some do and most don’t.
Be skeptical about changing a team that for years — probably since Alain Vigneault replaced John Tortorella on the 2013-14 bench — has kind of fixated on east-west, one extra pass and picture-perfect plays rather than grinding, hard-edged goals that come from dirty areas.
Well. In the first case, the players — the veterans, the leaders — have asked to be held accountable. They want to be coached. That was the prevailing theme of exit meetings with general manager Chris Drury on breakup day. “There’s a lot of talent and there’s a lot of skill on this team and I understand that,” Laviolette said, touching on a point he had made in his introductory press briefing in June. “I also can talk about teams that I’ve coached that have had some success. There’s a certain identity to the way they play.
