Mike Tomlin will say something like, "We can't eat soup with forks. We need spoons." Then the Steelers will sign a 2018 Pro Bowler to the practice squad.
One of the biggest things Iโve noticed when talking to players that use โskills coachesโ and especially offensively gifted ones at the #NHL level is that they arenโt teaching nearly enough offense away from the puck. Itโs a skill that by positioning yourself to gain an advantage in all three zones in various different ways leads to creating more / more scoring chances. Young players breaking into the league need that feedback. It seems to me more of the focus has to shifted to when youโre at the puck. Cutbacks, 1 on 1 plays, zone entries ect. To all you young hockey players the best players in the world play 20-25 minutes a night? They have the puck on their stick for 60 seconds? Maybe a shade over? This off season sit down and watch what youโre doing away from the puck to improve your game before you dangle around 65 cones with your head down at a skills skate.

Itโs very rare you get a micโd up goalie โฆ
But Marc-Andre Fleury was wearing one for Game 5 as a backup, until he entered the game in the 3rd period.

Mike Sullivan always says itโs a playerโs game - but letโs be real: back-to-back Cups donโt happen without his leadership behind the bench.
Here's to the winningest coach in franchise history. Two Cups, countless memories... Thank you, Sully.
