A lot less icetime for the top guys in that third period. You could tell they're not pushing for the record when right after a Senator powerplay ends, and an icing call, they put out the Turris line instead of one of the top two. Ah well, still nice to get two wins in a row for the first time this year! Agreed, Individual records are TEAM records as well... SLATS knew it. TIPPETT, not so much.

It's pretty much all coaches now. It's a stupid thing that comes from a generation of coaches who watched too much Coach's Corner.

The thing is, I really doubt that Cherry even coached that way - I don't see Esposito and Orr letting off on teams and putting up the numbers that they did. I think Grapes always meant in kids hockey don't rub it in, but so many coaches think it's gospel.

Just 17 minutes for McDavid tonight, with about 12 of them at even strength. I'd kill for a coach that supported players going and getting their marks.
