Gives him some extra rest instead of blocking Ovi shots The breakaway out of the box off a heads up Woll pass will hit like crack

Refs so blind

Very Knies Odd-man rush Deep turnover on the follow up Pass to the slot from behind the net

Absolutely. He was positioning to screen, not angling to poach a rebound.

Those three are actually decent to great forecheckers, but they’re also your best mid-ice options to make plays and tame the chaos long enough to weave some magic. Nylander often beats 2 defenders to strip the puck off their retrieval but then the puck goes to someone with no stick skills...

Go North: move the puck to the OZ Dump and forecheck: don’t turnover the puck in the dangerous NZ areas, give your team a chance to build momentum to forecheck their retrieval and force turnovers Put it on net with traffic: cause chaos, make defenders turn around, generate rebounds (mini...

Werenski was a threat all night, but here he was caught napping when Cowan snuck around him.

I like the cameras focusing on Berube yelling at Willy all the time A) he usually deserves it B) he asks his coach to help hold him accountable (Keefe mentioned it); also everyone else within earshot gets the message too but without (as much) embarrassment C) might be the #1/2 reason keeping...

Good players have an idea of what they’re shooting for when the pass comes. There’s almost no time in the NHL to dust off a pass and look up to aim. Once more
