They work well as a team and they listen to what we ask of them in the dressing room and what we communicate on the bench about passing an cycling the puck. We do a lot of puck movement in practice. We focus on cycling and a lot of team oriented drills rather than individual. They've bought into what we are preaching. We told the kids no matter what happens they should be proud of themselves.”
