Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals is tonight! Can the Canes finish the job?
If they get any powerplay opportunities then Sebastian Aho might have a thing or two to say about it. To get you prepped, @KelvinCech has a breakdown of Aho's skills to face pressure, invite pressure, and ultimately, beat pressure. hubs.la/Q04lfx2z0
Pressure is a privilege!
Sebastian Aho is putting on a half wall powerplay clinic. The habits haven't changed, but the puck is starting to go in.
Face pressure, invite pressure, beat pressure.

The Hurricanes have been teaching us how to deploy defenceman for the entirety of their 2026 run.
Not all ice time is equal. Defined roles, and a perfect landing spot for K'Andre Miller. Give him the Conn Smythe.

As the Stanley Cup Playoffs keep moving toward an eventual champion, watch how many goals are scored after players STOP in front of the net (rather than just going there). @KelvinCech has the video proof. hubs.la/Q04gkJTf0

The Carolina Hurricanes' 2nd line is driving results at 5on5 so far in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. @KelvinCech has stolen some secrets to their success for you. Watch these clips for examples of perfectly-executed mid-lane drives. hubs.la/Q04hnmfc0
I wrote this for @TheCoachesSite following the passing of Paul Boutilier, with whom I was fortunate enough to share lunch and a drive through Toronto a few years back.

The majority of goals scored are from the front of the net, right? Terminology matters in this case. Tell your players to STOP at the net rather than telling them just to GO to the net. @KelvinCech has the evidence. hubs.la/Q04gkpyt0
Carolina has a lot of time to recover so they can keep killing penalties like this. @TheCoachesSite

I have invented a new term for @TheCoachesSite.
Brind'Amourian Conditioning.

The game is always changing. What will the next trend on the penalty kill be? @KelvinCech has found (stolen) the answer.
"You have to do this all year, and you have to be in Brind’Amourian condition. Every Carolina penalty killer is fully invested in this PK." hubs.la/Q04fx_kC0

One team I'm pumped to curious to see when the lights come up in the playoffs is the Flyers. My latest for @TheCoachesSite

Defencemen don’t get enough credit. They don’t score the goals, but they start them. Scan first. Move it clean. Win the breakout. That’s where offense is born. Great D isn’t flashy. It’s foundational. Article & drill by @KelvinCech. hubs.la/Q049vq8Y0
We've got some handy new social sharing at @TheCoachesSite!
So here we go, try and guess who the best breakout defenceman in the NHL is.
