Juice (Jared McCann)

And I didn't really think his extra shifts and his long shifts hurt him.

He always has like a little bit of gas left in the tank.

So I don't know, like you're down to nothing right now going home.

Like you play that guy as much as he wants to play.

But as a coach, I always like watch guys where they come off, they're breathing in the recovery.

If he just had a hard shift where he's gas and he's skating around, he's got the puck and he takes a couple big hits.

That's the time you give him a break.

So, like, you're almost watching his body and his recovery throughout the game rather than the line matchups or who's up next.

And you just get him out and put him in a good situation.

You think he's gassed?

Give him an extra shift.

Even if he's like, I'm good, I'm good.

I'd be like, no, bro, I can see your chest beating 1,000 miles an hour.

You just took a huge hit by, you know, somebody.

Remember he's lying underneath the pile for five minutes?

Like, you know, you're going to sit and want to get recovered.

And I'd love to like find out from a guy like Kirill or like, does he hold on to the puck too long?

Yeah.

You got to pick your spot.

You got to pick your spots when you're playing those minutes.
