"Shorter shifts, Gordon said, lead to an increase of productivity. He told Tavares he would like to see him identify that 20-30 second range where he can cut off his shift and make the most of his time on the ice."
Interesting little tidbit from Strang on Gordon working with Tavares and other youngsters. The full explanation is good -- talks about using Eric Staal's (shorter) shifts as an example.
I love that Tavares already looks so good when he still has so much to learn.
