If the puck doesn't get out of the zone by the third attempt (by the defending team), the puck will often not get out of the zone and the end effect is a goal.
I like Montreal but a guy gets to a point where he can't work anymore for someone he feels is less competent than him.
His eye contact is right with his caddie and nowhere else when he's preparing to hit a shot. He's oblivious to everyone else.
Hockey is its own game. It's completely different than all other games, although it's getting way too close to soccer.
The goal is too small and the goalies are too big.
There is nothing so uncertain as a sure thing.

High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing......everything else is just figure skating.
I don't have bad relationships with my players. But I don't get into long conversations with them either.
