It's not as easy to do.

But having five touches in those 10 minutes because of easy dump-ins you were able to handle not only keeps you engaged in the game, but allows you to start the transition that Carolina thrives on.

So, you know, Vegas has got to do a better job of, you know, some cross-corner dumps and not allowing him to get out and stay connected to the game as easily as Montreal did.

At the other end with Hart...

Honestly, again, it depends mostly on what you're able to create.

If you do get out in odd man rushes, it's passes high in the zone, get them spread and splitting, and hit the top half of the net.

And then what I'm really curious to see is, Colorado fired twice as many shots to his blocker side as they did to his glove.

And there were some things in the preseason, he handled it for the most part well.

Three high blocker, one low blocker.

Yes, more goals for the seven on that side of the ice.

But for the most part, like from a save percentage standpoint, he handled it really well.

What Colorado didn't do was try and create that off the right wing.

There's this,

It was there throughout the regular season.

It was there in the first two rounds.

Just pucks off the right side of the ice, making him move left, right, or save to the right side.

Even six under the arm on the blocker through the first two rounds is just an unheard of number.

And maybe some of those are just bad breaks and bounces.

But there are some trends in there that I spotted that I think Colorado went after.

And I'll be curious to see if, A, Carolina can do a better job of targeting it.
