What's striking to me these last 2 seasons has been how the style of attack changes dramatically when we need some goals late.
Instead of making East to West passes in the neutral and offensive zones or dumping and chasing, someone just takes control and drives wide to establish possession. We get the pucks to the point for tips/screens/rebounds, or else pass it down low for a stuff attempt / pass through the crease / pass into the slot.
Seems like when we do make that change we've been dominant. Is there an obvious reason why that isn't the style of attack normally?
