Brannstrom:
-his game and has been coming
-ability to make that one-pass breakout
-got to start getting him more ice time
Line-Up Changes:
-might be a defensive change but not sure
-isn't certain if Forbort is ready
-Juulsen might play
-put Hoglander with Suter and Sprong; thought they weren't that bad as a unit
-Hoglander needs to get back to what he was and sometimes moving him down the line-up helps
-can switch Hoglander back in-game
OT Goal Against:
-Miller let the guy get by him
-coverage wasn't good
Middle of the Ice:
-giving teams odd-man rushes
-one of the focus in the video today was getting back to preventing rush chances
-if it's a 50/50 puck you need to above the other player
Heinen-Blueger-Sherwood:
-can go against the other team's best lines
-can give best players some mismatches
-all three are responsible players
-protect the slot
Bad OT Record:
-blown coverages and execution
-can't be out there when you're tired
-definitely have to have another meeting about it
Sherwood:
-hitting is contagious
-is an old school guy; goes through people
-no one wants to play against him; need to get more of that from some other players
Joshua:
-getting close to being pain free
-doesn't know the exact date
-took some line rushes but needs to get some 3-on-3 stuff
-will need to manage his minutes and make him feel comfortable in certain situations
-has dealt with what happened really well
-can go anywhere in the line-up and knows Garland likes playing with him
-briefly talked about a conditioning stint but haven't talked to Joshua about it yet; might just get him in the line-up
Powerplay:
-struggles have nothing to do with coaching
-has been given really good structure
-players need to play with more intensity and awareness
-sometimes when you're talented, you think you can skill your way to a goal
-don't have a good taste in their mouth
-analytics have shown him that they are one of the worst teams at picking off pucks rimming off the glass
-if you beat pressure, you need to attack
-weren't good at goals off chaos plays last season
-going to change a couple of things on entries; bring it up with a couple of different guys
-entries are about supporting the puck and speed
-knew Carolina was going to stack the one side but kept stick-handling to that side
-have the information but need to apply it
Pettersson's PP One-Timer:
-can't stand still
-have talked to Pettersson about moving his feet
-the one-timer is not there so need to move your feet to find other ways to score
Demko:
-has had 4 really good days
-stacking some consecutive days together
Lankinen:
-strong, game after game, of good efforts
-locked-in even during practice
-is grateful for the opportunity
-talking to the team about the team's breakouts
-was in early this morning doing video with goalie coach
Silovs:
-hasn't decided the starter for tomorrow
