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.
