It also drives me bonkers how it seems like our night-in night-out strategy of clearing the defensive zone is slapping a 100 foot pass in the general direction of a floating forward as hard as you can. Or a forward slapping a 20 foot pass in the neutral zone in the general direction of another covered forward as hard as he can. As I think @hb11xchamps pointed out, we ice the puck a lot. A lot. And we turn the puck over a lot. A lot.

We never hold onto possession very long.

Don't forget flipping the puck up in the air to center ice and hoping for the best.

Todd was fantastic at coaching the defensemen under Trotz so at times I have to say I’m confused why our defensive game is where it is at.

Because maybe it was Trotz and the rest of that staff that should get more credit for our D in 2017-18. That year the Isles were literally dead last in GA/G. In Trotz first year he got them to finish literally 1st in GA/G even with a worse roster than the previous year. That's a pretty unprecedented improvement.
