Summary

As a veteran Assistant Coach with the Boston Bruins, Steve Spott has been studying power plays for years to stay at the forefront of the latest tactics and strategies to help build an elite unit. The first position he discussed in his TCS Live talk was the quarterback. Modern power-play defencemen, he believes, need to be exceptional skaters. The drop pass has become such a staple of power-play entries that penalty kills are anticipating it. Once in the offensive zone, the quarterback needs to create deception and handle pressure. Spott believes some of that decision-making comes naturally.
