NHL TIPS "All that is going through my mind in a power-play faceoff is to try and move the puck back. The longer you have the puck on the power play, the better." MIKE MODANO On breakaways, I'm thinking about who the shooter is. As he gets closer, I judge his speed and try to be as patient as I can. CURTIS JOSEPH "If the penalty killers contract down to the net area, you can sneak in from the point. If some guy misreads the play and goes the wrong way, go to the net." DARRYL SYDOR "Speed is a big part of my game. It allows me to get the puck in my opponents' end. It also lets me get back into the play after a scoring chance and play defense." JEREMY ROENICK "Stay out of any confusion down low. Be aware of where the opposing player is in front of the net and clear him out, while making sure that your goaltender can see the puck."
