Zero desire to hit. We get beat down all over the ice with clean and dirty hits and we're backing off any chance to hit a guy clean, instead reaching from 5 feet away to poke at the puck we never get, then at random we'll board someone and take a penalty.
Panic giveaways starting on one side of the dzone, hammering the puck blindly around the boards to the other team just waiting at the blue line on the opposite side. Constant panic play probably because they're going to get hit. Take some juice off that and pass to your team or ice it imo. Don't cycle for the opponent.
Ozone possession (often any zone) by a dman. That dman had to pass to his d partner no matter what. Covered or not, a better play available or not, that pass to his partner is happening at the detriment of whatever is occurring on the ice.
The Oilers version of dump and chase: dump and chase and stop and reach.
