Teams that are strong on transition , defense to offense and offense to defense, are not necessarily “trapping and or boring”.
The winner tonight will outnumber their opponent, more times than not, at both the defensive and offensive blue lines.
Solid mental preparation with readiness and willingness to react quickly to losing the puck and (re)gaining the puck, stops and starts, tracking hard through the middle, quick availability, smart puck management and reads will allow one team to win as opposed to the losing team which will be doing the opposite more times than not ... poor risks, rink turns , frustration etc.
Big price to pay if you want to win.
