Great high paced practice doing drills players know so they went into the next activity right away. Last thirty minute on specialty teams. No video as I have posted same drills before. One game in Lethbridge on Saturday then we finish regular season with two games next weekend.
The Torpedo helps some of our players as last weekend we got three goals from players who haven't scored at all or in a long time. We are still experimenting to find the combinations that work the best in each position.

Lethbridge came out with guns blazing. Forechecked hard and pinched on both sides, hemmed us in. Outshot us 9-0 first ten minutes. We scored on our first shot to make it 1-1, then they scored 1-2, then us 2-2 to end the period. We came out in the second a lot better. Ref called us on everything and we killed 5 penalties and short 3-5 once. We got one PP and scored first ten seconds. Got us 5-4 two minutes left and got another penalty. They pulled goalie with one minute left and Ryan chipped it out and score EN goal for a 6-4 win. Nice feature is that 4 of our 6 goals were score by other players than our 5 returning AA players who have about 75% of our goals. We need others to score to do well in playoffs.
Used the Torpedo for the 4th game in a row. We have won all 4 games and have scored 6-4-4-6 for 20 goals in those games and many different players have scored.

We now have two forechecks. 2-1-2 with pinch on wide rim. Torpedo 1-3-1 with pinch on both sides. Penalty kills – high press, low press, diamond, 1-1-2 Sweep. Tight triangle when two short. Power plays, 1-3-1, Swedish 1-3-1, Low spread, overload and slot set.
