So to catch up:
You going to back off the defensive concept on your own?
No, there isn't, but what is that you imagine this to be?
From the paper you linked, on the Soviet puck possession:
"1. Back-passing and/or carrying the puck back
2. Spreading the defense with one higher than the other
3. Forwards interchanging, accelerating and developing good width
(lanes) and depth (zones)
4. Isolation with eventual support
5. Improvising to “take” whatever the defense is giving
Many hockey scholars credit the classic '72 series between the Soviet Union and Canada with introducing more complex neutral zone plays and regroups to the North American hockey scene.
At that time, North American teams were playing a very linear game, with wings staying in their lanes, and centres always in the middle of the ice, much like the old table-hockey games. The Russians were very good at controlling the puck with their defensemen while their forwards skated to openings laterally and diagonally, organizing and executing an attack with all five players. Russian players were encouraged to skate to any area of open ice, unconfined by a coach's declaration to “stay in your lane”... In some cases, the Russians would approach the attacking blue line in possession of the puck and turn back to regroup, hoping to form a better attack (Gendron 2003, 78)"
This is the essence of the Wings' system for the past couple of decades, with some minor tweaks from Babcock, who switches to dump-ins when the trap is employed. They STILL do this today!
I don't think I'm the one having some trouble understanding what the Wings and Lidstrom did. Maybe you should try watching some of their games, because you have now convinced me that you probably haven't watched more than 2-3 games in your entire life. What you have posted flies in the face of reality and what the rest of the hockey world knows about the Red Wings from Bowman onwards.
The YT was meant to explain puck possession to you. It doesn't mean that Lidstrom himself has to be in every clip, but if you really want to waste some time, we could hunt up some examples of Lidstrom imitating Soviet defenders in executing the puck possession, East-West style of play-- synonymous with Wings hockey for two decades now.
