Every so often, we can give you a peek behind the curtain here at The Athletic World Headquarters. On Saturday, after watching the Vancouver-Winnipeg game from a few days earlier, I sent Mike Halford and Jason Brough a note, telling them that I was thinking about writing something about Vancouver's power play. With a bunch of people writing about different things, you kind of need to make sure that you don't get in each other's way, particularly if you're a writer without a specific portfolio.
I had things to do so I went about my evening. Late in the first period of Canucks game, my phone pinged.
