On behalf of PuckAgency, we are very saddened to learn the news of Matiss Kivlenieks’ passing last night.

He was an outstanding young man, and he had a great love for life and hockey.

Please keep Matiss’ family in your thoughts and prayers.

STL68 Goal: Love this backhand pass from STL77 in the middle to 68 on the wing. Also, note the "no dust off" on this shot from 68. #QuickRelease

STL10 Goal: GO TO THE NET!

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

STL9 Goal: D, again, I cannot state the importance of making a good first pass.

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

COL29 PPG: D or any F playing the point on the PP, look at how when 29 gets this puck up top, his head NEVER goes down. It is up the whole way so he can shoot around players versus putting it in their shinguards. #HockeyIsABeautifulGame #KeepYourHeadUpAndWatchIt

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

COL29: 1- watch how after 29 gets this puck, he gets his body moving toward the net; 2- also, look at how he shoots through the STL Dman's feet to use him as a screen.

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

COL72 Goal: This whole sequence starts with COL92 finishing his hit on STL90 in the corner and creating chaos. Also, great shot from COL27 at the point to find sticks versus trying to go bar down.

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

CAR13 Goal: Look at the puck protection & cutbacks from 13 in the corner here. Are you working on these skills? This down low OZ play is what it takes to be successful at the higher levels when playing against bigger, faster competition.

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

BOS12 GWG: This clip right here is why coaches & players should realize the importance of communication between players. The WSH Dman & G should have been talking to each other about where the G should place this puck after it was dumped in. Miscommunication -> GA! #TALK

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

WPG3 Goal: Look folks, even D can be the middle lane driver who stops at the net & get rewarded!

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

WSH26 Goal: DZ "BLT" to GA. BLT's are KILLER!

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

VGK81 Goal: Great shot by 81 here, but let's talk about how it got to this point. Look at the patience / no panic from VGK19 on the wall in the NZ here prior to his BH pass to 81. How many of you would have chipped this in / maybe turned it over due to pressure? This is ELITE!

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

NYI12 Goal: Gotta work on your backhands too, kids!

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

TB18: 1- great 1v1 move from TB21 here to put it under the D's stick to make a play on net; 2- love that 18 "funnels" to the net here to find the rebound. If you don't go to the net, your goals will eventually dry up.

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

PIT77 Goal: Love that PIT42 hustles to be first on the puck here. Also, watch his head. He shoulder checks prior to picking this puck up to find out where the open man is. He chips the puck behind the net, takes a hit to make the play, & PIT19 finds 77 out in the slot for a goal.

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

STL25 Goal: Middle lane drive from STL49 here creates an open lane to 25 on the backside.

[True Advising Group @AdvisorTrue]

COL8: 1- another PP goal scored directly off a won draw in the OZ; 2- Elite blueline play from 8 here: a) head up, b) moves feet, c) stretch the zone to bring PKers out, & d) hip open to ride inside edges ("crosby's") to fake PKer.

BOS71 Goal: In the playoffs, even the top players in the game have to go to the dirty areas to score goals!
