Saad has been great at scoring those "insurance" goals to put us up by two, but isn't necessarily good at scoring those "GWG" when the game is tied.

He has 37 GWG's in his career thus far, and another 3 in the playoffs, so I don't think it's that big of a concern that he doesn't have any GWG's with the Avs thus far.

In its simplest form, it involves constantly pressuring puck carriers in the O zone and neutral zone, instead of coasting to block passing lanes like many other teams do. They're trying to force turnovers or rush them into less accurate passes that can stunt a team's transition game.

This, and their preferred off the rush style when they're healthy and on their game, require a ton of skating.

So not only do you have to be a good skater to fit in Bednar's system well, you have to be in great condition. I think the condition aspect is why we've seen guys like Comeau and Calvert take a year to find their game with the Avs.

I also think all the skating and potential fatigue are a factor in why they have so many injuries.

Very much agree with this. It had a lot to do with our swings as well in the past where the team looks amazing, and then like shit.

Brandon Saad this season is tied-7th in 5v5 goals, and he's 5th in 5v5 goals/60 (minimum of 300 mins played). He's pacing for 31.5 goals in an 82 game season.

He's shooting 23.08% at 5v5 and 24.4% overall which is 4th in the league and double his career average, so that production probably isn't sustainable, but it's nonetheless hard not to be extremely pleased with how he's done, especially considering that he was a -8 with only 1 goal in his first 6 games this season.
