When I played I hit harder than Raffi Torres and I was always clean…I injured a lot of guys, hard part on soft part everytime at lightening speeds…in Practice my Teammates were scared of me…not because I was dirty but because I would exploit every single mistake at 80% and make it hurt….not "hurt them" …. in games I was Raffi+…. but I stress I was CLEAN…no dirtbag hits….if something on you broke it was because of an old fashioned Bobby Hull hit…. this simply requires a buy-n…. agreed upon SPOKEN BY EACH MAN IN TURN buy-in…… so step up to the plate and surprise Jon Cooper…your Offense will need to be KISS with mostly short sure give-and-goes….finished by quickstrike type shots….no dusting off….. deflection before dustoff …. remember when you hit like this that when on offense passes in shooing lanes are a great idea in terms of turning them over into deflections when they are slightly off target. Short passes that drive give-and-goes force everyone to collapse to the net so instead of setting up just 1 guy backdoor you set up 2 guys Hymen style(good place for Smurf Savoie to get to quickly- just make sure he turns his skates and body the right ways) right away so those deflected pucks going in off bodies go in from both sides….but this all depends on the total buy-in with a Center-body mass hit every time which means there should always be some type of contact to change trajectories. Jon Cooper will appreciate the tactics when he watches your win post-game if you just dig in and do it.
Let’s go oilers come out flying play good D and play smart and I think we can win tonight boys
