Sheldon Keefe on playing with the lead: “We don’t want to be conservative in terms of giving up the puck and forcing ourselves into defensive postures”

What was the pre-scout like for a coach who has yet to see this Blackhawks team as you continue to make your way through the NHL?

Keefe: Every day is interesting. There are a lot of similarities, though, in each team that you play in terms of concepts and things that teams are trying to do. The players are different from team to team, obviously, but each team, for the most part, has elite players that you have to be aware of. The habits and details that you need to have to defend against those guys are the same.
