Keys to the Game
- It is legal to play good in the first period: While it does make for an exciting game to be sleepy drones the first period, show energy in the second period, and then come out in the third period like a bunch of Kirbys who inhaled the 1996-97 Red Wings roster, consider applying the “play 60 minutes of hockey” strategy.
- Scoring first? What a concept: Wouldn’t that be crazy? Scoring first? And what if the Wings scored first and then kept scoring and stayed in the lead the whole time? I know, I’m getting outrageous here.
- Plan C: We’re a Third Period Team: do what you gotta do
