If Sokolov reads this LOL. Watch Egor Vegas hockey. Watch what Stone does. Because Egor, you look like a beer leaguer without a puck. You float and you are not effective on a forecheck, because you do not generate enough speed, chasing players and they always pulling ahead. Stone is still an average NHL skater, but a marvelous player. What he does, he locks his left wing all the time, as soon as a team is losing the puck, he pulls back to his area in a neutral zone, without mindlessly chasing players all over the ice. Another winger goes high and forcing LHD to pass a puck to the RHD, where Stone operates and where he meets the puck carrier. Work on your takeaways, open ice hits, learn how to clog left wing neutral zone and that's how you can become very affective defensively. There are no Scotty Bowmans in this organization to teach you anything like this. You have to figure this on your own, as Stone did.
