They need to try something else besides that little chip in front of their own net on the breakout. It seems pretty obvious teams are reading that.
That play is inane and literally one of the most ridiculous plays I’ve ever seen in hockey in my life
They not only do it in their corner but all over inside their zone , it’s dangerous and counter productive for the little times it works .
I see it possibly being more effective in junior , but not in the big leagues , like you pointed out that teams are looking for it everywhere. It’s good for about 2-4 chaotic turnovers or possible scoring chances against per game
Put the damn puck up the wall when in trouble or eat it .
It crazy ..
I love the new age coaching and ideas and innovations , believe me , I know it may not seem it .
But just to do something different just because it’s a new idea is crazy when clearly it doesn’t work ..
Like the drop back pass on the PP , I’m sorry , I get the theory , but if you analyze the entries and loss of time over the long haul , again doesn’t make sense at all .
Either enter with speed or one pass or hard in the corner and outman the opponent. Sometimes old ways are better you know until proven not to be ..
I love our progressive approach to many things , these are not some of them .
To me it’s like in the 50s and 60s where the Defenseman would take the face off on your own end ?? Absolutely ridiculous, again I know the theory at that time , it was about usually the stronger bigger D man to tie up the centre , but it left the centre on the defensive side to play D after the face off for a short time .
So luckily Coaches moving forward said , hey that doesn’t make sense and altered their approach ..
Evolution for good things , not just to show your new and smart and showing your being innovative just because ...
Anyway my rant of the day without picking on Pierre
Doesn't look like I need to as the coaching staff are finally understanding his worth moving into the playoffs
Go Leafs Go
