Mike Johnston says the Penguins had more energy because of shorter shifts, quicker changes
After the 2-0 win against the Senators, Mike Johnston talked about shift lengths in his post game comments:
"That's the look of what we want in the first period. We had the jump. We had the energy. A lot of it came from quicker changes, coming fast to the bench, getting shorter shifts, quicker changes. I thought that's the type of first period we need."
Yesterday, Travis Yost from TSN wrote an article about how important short shifts are to Mike Babcock.
