The Rangers are back in action tonight, and I have to admit I completely forgot there was a game. I’m wrapped up in family things for both Easter and Passover. Hooray holidays.
Anyway, here’s the game thread. Sorry for the lack of substance to this one.
Canes Systems
Under Bill Peters, the Canes play a passive 1-2-2 on the forecheck and look to trap up the neutral zone. In their own end they run your standard low zone collapse. Not the most exciting of systems. On special teams, they run an umbrella powerplay, and a diamond/box hybrid PK.
For more on these systems, check out our Hockey Systems page.
