Someone needs to coach these guys on OT strategy.
Backlund trying an end to end 1 on 3 rush is a waste of energy. It’s all about possession and creating odd man rushes. Especially 2 on 1’s. Gaudreau was incredibly good at it because he was so hard to cover 1 on 1, and if he worked around long enough chances were he could beat someone and bang. 2 on 1.
Or in our case a 3 on 2 that ends up in our net because of a bad rush, a tired forward and a dumb change.
