Playing The "Right Way"

from Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun,

“The right way is not cheating,” said Vancouver GM Jim Benning. “When you play the right way, you’re in position defensively to make the proper play. You’re not cheating to go on to the offence. Some guys are cheating for the breakaway, they’re not strong getting pucks out, it hurts you defensively. The right way means you’re in position to defend when you don’t have the puck.”

“I think it means the same thing to every coach, but I don’t think every team has it,” said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin. “To me, it means to be responsible. It’s playing a 200-foot game, taking care of the puck. Up by a goal, get the puck deep, don’t turn it over. You get a team that does that nine out of 10 times, you’re going to win a lot of games, doesn’t matter what lineup you have.”

“The right way? Don’t turn the puck over, get it deep, be in shooting lanes, finish your checks, do all the little things everybody knows how to do but you don’t get a lot of credit for them,” said Vancouver winger Jannik Hansen.
