plays pressure pull run speed stop
It still comes down to a speed game. You're not going to have a lot of time, especially on the rush, to stop up and make a lot of plays because that back pressure is going to run you over. So it'll be interesting in that sense. He still has to skate. You can't pull up and stickhandle.
areas bit consistent defensive game looking offense penalty pitch pressure relieve

Every night it's highlight-reel goal after highlight-reel goal. You'll get to see probably five a night in our league. And the guys that can skate are the guys who stand out. I think the game has greatly improved.
advantage balanced built four games ice plays schedule team
Everybody's schedule is tough. I think we have one of the toughest. I don't know if there's another team that plays 17 games in 30 days. But I think the advantage we have built in is we've utilized four lines. We've been a pretty balanced team when it comes to ice time.
