Drills
Penguins began practice with some shooting drills and some 2-on-1’s. Bylsma likes to implement a lot of 2-on-1 drills in his practice plans. Major difference between Bylsma and Therrien is how much Bylsma communicates in practice to his players. He was talking to Sergei Gonchar for sometime on the side giving him some instructions
