A few years ago, Navy Seal Jocko Willink gave a talk at my company’s annual meeting. The theme was “Default Aggressive”, and he applied that phrase to the decisions leaders in companies make, how you approach new business, and things of that nature.
When watching this game, I had to wonder – did the Dallas Stars get a “Default Aggressive” talk from Willink between the road trip and this first of a three-game home stand?
They came out and played possibly the most aggressive period of hockey that we’ve witnessed in at least a month’s time.
