“I look at all of our guys and I see to a man they all block shots. It’s funny, I wouldn’t know who blocks more than the next guy on the penalty kill … I could send you clips of (Ethan) Bear and (Matt) Benning and Doc (Nurse) and every one of those guys are committed to blocking shots. I would say this: they recognize where they are trying to take away lanes with high pressure, but once the pass is made to a certain area of the ice, that’s where they commit to blocking the shot.”
A team effort with player ownership
Playfair said he wanted to establish a certain rhythm and confidence in the penalty kill unit.
“Every time you get a kill, you can find two or three things that you want to improve upon, right? … I would say the thing that we tried to instil in our penalty kill is to develop a pace and a pressure. The players got really comfortable doing each individual job. They know what they’re trying to accomplish. The players had a lot of input into it. Players would come to me and say, ‘Hey ,why don’t we do this? We should try this.’ And it was like, ‘Yes, absolutely. You’re the ones in the line of fire. If you think we should have one of them drop off, or you think we should clear pucks this way, we should do it this way. Let’s dig in and do it that way.’ So I think the players took on a lot of ownership and that was really good, too.”
