— Has Dynamo learned from Edmonton’s example? It’s difficult to learn from their example: two of the best hockey players on the planet play there! These guys do things that very few players can do. I didn’t really enjoy watching the Edmonton games. Sometimes NHL power play coaches would tell us, “Play like Edmonton.” But McDavid and Draisattle are special, it’s very difficult to imitate them.
I had the chance to spend a few years in Philadelphia with Giroux and Voracek. At that time, our majority was still in the top 10. I played in the minority, I opposed them in training, I watched what they did. This year most of us are working, which is great. But we shouldn’t take it for granted.
Vyacheslav Kozlov, our power play coach, sometimes shows us videos of other teams. At the start of the season we looked at Pittsburgh, Calgary and Gaudreau. Each special brigade has its own characteristics. It depends a lot on the grip, it affects the dynamics. “Pittsburgh” from what era? I think those were the years they won the Stanley Cup when Kessel was still playing. We tried to take a philosophy from it, ways to get into the zone, and not completely copy it,” Wil quotes “Championship.”
