I'm totally loving the progress this season
! I mean, Blashill's defense system is starting to click and it's amazing to see the guys adapt and learn from each other on the ice. The fact that they're focusing on cutting off seams passes and rimming pucks around the boards before they reach the opposite corner of the zone is genius
. It's like, you can totally tell that these players are being encouraged to think for themselves and not just follow the same old patterns they've been in before.
And I love how Colton Dach mentioned finding where the puck is and getting his body or stick in the lane where it makes the other guy uncomfortable to shoot
. That's like, the ultimate goal of any defense system right? Making it hard for the opposing team to get a clear shot on net while still allowing your own guys to create scoring opportunities.
I'm totally here for this
. The Blackhawks are definitely showing signs of growth and improvement under Blashill's guidance, and I'm excited to see where they take it from here!
