‘”When you fall behind, at some point you have to press. Structure is so good in the NHL, when teams get in their structure, it’s hard to get through it. A lot of times you gotta dump the puck and pressure and low below a goal line and force them to make mistakes there. But the statistics are incredibly high .700 or .800 winning percentage when you score first, that is, as the other team has done a goal presses a little bit and they expose themselves even more. It’s a different dynamic when you’re ahead and it’s a different dynamic when you’re behind.”‘
