Then we just kind of were off to the races and kind of just get after it, I guess.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That effort is part of what\u2019s been working so far on the penalty kill. Vancouver had <strong>successfully killed all nine penalties in their first two games of the season<\/strong>, a strong sign of structure and discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We have long D here, and they have a lot of good reads, and they\u2019re big keys for us down the stretch. So the forwards kind of read off of them. And once we take care of the seams and stuff, it kind of allows the pressure to kind of take care of itself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>While the PK has been a strength, the power play hasn\u2019t found its rhythm.

I think sometimes, you get into your own head and you overanalyze. And they\u2019re really good players, they\u2019ll figure it out. And once one drops, that\u2019s usually when the confidence picks up.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Vancouver\u2019s top line, made of <strong>Brock Boeser, Elias Pettersson, and Jake DeBrusk, was quiet against the Blues<\/strong>.

My name is Doug Hirdle, and I am the main author at Betting.ca. As a huge sports fan, for years I have thought about running a website that\u2019s going to provide people with the latest news from the world of sports. However, watching sports is not my only passion, as I also love betting on them. That\u2019s why I created a website called Betting.ca and began writing reviews of top Canadian sports betting operators and casino sites, while also writing some sports news on the side.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DHirdle"],"url":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/author\/doug-hirdle"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
