My mistake, I shouldve been more clear. The opposing forwards from the other teams, that go to the net consistently, are they going to start engaging them to clear them out, or are they just focusing on our need for the forwards to go the net, and going to ignore the defensive struggles with forwards and guys being in the goalie.
Even with that said, it’s going to lead to loss of possession because when our defense are slow to get their shots off, they will just play it around the boards where our forwards will be too slow to get to the puck and lead to possession change.
Oh, okay -- the Sabres forwards mostly not going to the net and the Sabres forwards and defense mostly being terrible at checking was what I got. The forwards are trash at coming back in support, and the system is trash in the options given to them to get out of the zone. It all dovetails far too neatly with how they perform in other areas.
