Our goal is just to contest every shot and then rebound. We are pretty long, and if we can just get a hand up on every shot, it makes it tough for teams to score. We try to play sound defense and just get a lot of deflections and stay active.
Our focus with the boys was we just needed to defensively contest every shot, and we wanted to make things difficult for them.
I tell our guys that we're not out here trying to prevent shots, but we want to contest shots.
We can't prevent shots, but we can contest them.
