I'm a big fan of forechecking teams. I love the ruthlessness of waive after waive of pressure, forcing teams into mistakes leading to offensive chances. I too want to see that over an 82 game schedule, but is it sustainable? Maybe it will be with conditioning a main emphasis of Torts.
I didn't realize just how well conditioned Santorelli is.
First day of conditioning at camp, Santorelli had the best time for the two-mile run , beating both Sedins, who are fitness fanatics.

I'm actually becoming a big fan of Santorelli and Torts theory of aggressiveness and requiring a high level of fitness to complete it.
Remember Kesler that year where AV challenged something about his fitness level or something? Kesler replied that he's an elite athlete, he can perform.
With Torts, it shows that there is another level and it's just not about turning on the switch, it's about staying at that level and perform consistently now.
