[Think Less | Play Faster] L’entraîneur Don Granato parle d’un sujet important : aller au filet avec conviction. Les équipes d’aujourd’hui s’améliorent en défense (en enlevant de l’espace), donc si vous voulez créer des scores, vous devez aller au filet en tant que groupe avec un but précis. Cela doit faire partie de votre identité.

When I rewatched the scoring in the win against the Islanders, on the first goal I obviously was impressed by Mittelstadt.
But the space for Skinner is created by Olofsson aggressively skating right to the net, when he could easily have pushed out and looked for a one timer.
VO reinventing himself as a power forward would be hilariously amazing.
This seems to be a change for Granato. I’ve been complaining about this for years. Generally speaking, we never had guys that would get in front of the net for the dirty goals. I love to hear this from Granato.
