And when the Caps forwards got the puck, it seemed to me that they did a great job penetrating the neutral zone, time and time again... only to be foiled as they crossed our blue line, trying to make 1-on-1 plays instead of passing the fucking puck. (And not only foiled by our D, but also by our aggressively back checking forwards).<br /><br />Sheesh, seems like everybody thinks that defensive hockey must all be the same and must all be boring. I wish! All that great defensive hockey in our own zone was incredibly nerve wracking. It would have been much preferable had it been boring.<br /><br />But then again, I guess lots of folks think that only goal scoring is exciting...Le Douzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574957309865668100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-12687196117218534422010-04-29T18:27:37.060-04:002010-04-29T18:27:37.060-04:00@ez - It's funny, we also got "they playe...@ez - It's funny, we also got "they played the neutral zone trap" thing from a bunch of folks. But I thought our D worked out from really aggressive forechecking (which is not boring) and shot blocking (ditto, especially when it leads to breakouts). I thought our D worked because we DIDN'T just try the trap. But maybe that's just me, it could be that any good D must, ipso facto, be the boring trap.Le Douzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574957309865668100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-87225588601375708882010-04-29T17:25:20.550-04:002010-04-29T17:25:20.550-04:00@LG: Nice.
