Option 2

Playoff hockey is another beast, and it really separates good teams from great teams. What makes great teams? Well its when players can elevate their game to the next level for the playoffs. Playoff hockey becomes faster, tighter, and a lot more disciplined. To make my game to the next level I need to play quicker, and harder on the puck. It truly becomes much more of a two way game, you need to back check and play more positional hockey then the regular season as goals are often harder to come by. I would have a focus on my defensive game, trying to grind down the opposing team with a more physical style of play. Which will hopefully lead to more puck possession in the offensive zone to try and tire out the other team. Trying to get more pucks to the net and get that eventual go ahead goal. When having the lead it is important to not sit on it and still focus on playing offensive hockey.
