Special Teams
As noted – time and time again.
If we score on the power play; and we kill off penalties well; we will have great success as a team.
Right now – we play well 5 on 5 – and we are more efficient than last season on the power play.
We have to get our penalty kill back to best in class.
In Edmonton; we allowed two goals against on the power play.And we didn’t score on our power play with 3 minutes left in game. We lost that game. 2 to 1.
In Vancouver – our penalty kill was sub par as well as noted here.
We have work to do – but who doesn’t in the NHL right now?
It is amazing to me though that special teams play a disproportionate role in success in pro sports – across all leagues.

7 Billion
7 billion people around the world. Coming soon!
We added a billion people in the least dozen years or so.
How will we feed everyone? Get them all access to clean water – electricity; the Internet; keep them all safe and fed and happy?
The world is expanding fast as to population; our resources are not keeping pace.
This is the challenge of our times; here is a fantastic app from National Geographic. Daunting; important – ultimate reality programming. 7 Billion; load and learn. Thank you.

Thank you. Always consider the source.
If You Stayed Up Late Last Night
You basically saw three different games.
A game where we were outplayed and went down 3-1. Too many penalties once again. Vancouver scores on a power play with less than five seconds left in the period.
A game where we played quite well and tied the score 4-4. And took the momentum.
A game that we lost 3 to 0.
Three goals on five shots taken at one point.
So we end a long trip in terms of miles flown.
We lost both games on this road trip.
We can’t get too down just as we didn’t get too up with the winning streak.
This is life in the NHL with good teams everywhere. You must play hard mistake-free hockey to get two points on the road.
Back to Verizon Center for a game on Tuesday and then back on the road for the rest of the week.
Win as a team – lose as a team.
The team has a very long flight back today, practices tomorrow (Monday) and then gets back at it come Tuesday. Hope to see you then and there. Thank you.
