something i would like to add to this... i think the most important part a lot of times is how we exit our own zone. so many times we make quick passes and it puts forwards in a position where they only have 1 option. and the other team can see that too. so i try my hardest (even at the expense of turnovers once in a while) to make sure i get it to a forward in a position that they have time to make a play. obviously that is not always an option, but keeping the puck for an extra second to clear a defender; working the puck back to the other side; rushing it up on my own; those are all good strategies that we can remember when breaking out of the zone. all too often, the breakout strategy is to pass as quickly as possible to the guy farthest up the screen. then that last person is limited in what they can do. then they get collapsed on and turn it over.
i agree with jobo that dump and chase is a great strategy. unfortunately it can be a little advanced for people to get down correctly. having someone on the other side that is skating in full speed is crucial to d-n-c being successful.
