"It's symbolic of why this team can't come together when it matters most... There are four guys on the ice when your captain goes down; no one gets a free pass." Nick Kypreos, Gord Stellick and Sam McKee share their thoughts on Radko Gudas' dirty hit on Auston Matthews.

KIDS: This may be one of the most scathing clips I've ever done, but it's a great teaching point from a coaches perspective that I think is important for all young players to hear. This shift started with a faceoff at 12:08 on the clock. When Hall gets this puck midshift and chips it in, it's at 11:32 - 36 seconds later. Being on the ice for 36 seconds already - two or three of the Chicago players should change. But no. They are clearly tired yet decide to go and forecheck in the ozone anyway. And the effort on the forecheck and track here are absolutely abysmal. When a player extends their shift when the puck is going up the ice offensively in a situation when they're tired and should change, it's one of coaches' biggest pet peeves. All in all - it's selfish. And in this case, it ends up in the back of their net. Just look at the effort on the forecheck and the backcheck...yikes. I looked up the three players and how they're doing this year. All immensely talented players but between Hall, Bertuzzi, and Kurashev... They have a combined 18 games played and 4 points. On a team where Kurashev is fighting for a top 6 role and Hall/Bertuzzi were brought in to provide veteran leadership. This is one of those plays that gets highlighted in team video the next day. It can't happen. It's putting yourself above the team and not focusing on the little things that don't show up on the scoreboard that championship teams do. This is a culture teaching clip.
