Keys to the Game
Key One: Decline any Powerplays
If the coaching staff is going to refuse to make system changes to the awful powerplay, at least don’t make us have to watch it.
Key Two: Start on Time
So many times when a game starts earlier than usual, the team gets off to a rough start. Don’t do that.
Key Three: Score more goals than Florida
Obvious? Yes. But I’m not wrong.
