Great analysis. It confirms that Johnny and Mony didn’t just forget how to play hockey. It’s that the playbook is out on them and everyone knows it (especially the other teams in the division). Pressure 13 because 23 won’t be doing anything dangerous off the rush. From there, you can keep them to the perimeter and create the inevitable turnover because nobody is winning any board battles on that line. It’s also why giving them a bunch of o-zone starts is useless.
