Teams are just too good defensively these days. If you don't have a plan to get through a clogged up neutral zone, you're going to have a bad time.

I too think we need better breakout options. Having more than one option forces the opposition to guess at what you're going to do next. And let's face it, everyone knew what we were doing because we lacked options. I think the only real reason to attempt that long stretch pass is if you know you are catching the opposition on a bad line change.
