This team is a wagon (as the kids say) right now and it is beautiful to watch. Full credit to the new coach, and to the players for adapting so quickly to his new defensive zone system. I could be wrong, but it reminds me of Bruce Cassidy's system as head coach of the Bruins and now the Golden Knights. And it works. Much easier to play even with depth defensemen than PDB's man to man defense (to borrow a football term).

So, is "rocket surgery" a bit like "brain science"?

That was a clever nod to a funny rental car commercial when the boss told his staff “it’s not rocket surgery”. I enjoy Robert’s sense of humor as much as his insight.

I didn't know it was in a car commercial, but it is a fun turn of phrase I've enjoyed since one of my friends' fathers began using it when I was growing up. An intentional malapropism.
