When ever the team falls behind by a couple goals, the way they play changes. The defense jumps up into the play more and we drive the net. Exciting hockey & they seem to dominate and get lots of high scoring chances. Usually the last 10 min of a game when trailing. Leaves everyone wondering why they didn't play that way the whole game. Problem is most the times the games are close and we have to play sutter hockey.
Pretty sure during the 2nd intermission last night the coach told the players to rain it in and play defense first. Don't worry about getting any more goals or playing the same style that dominated the 2nd period.
