You will often see wingers turn away from the puck carrier in the defensive zone, and fans are always quick to criticize them for it. Sometimes the criticism is warranted, but most of the time it is because their job is to cover someone else.
Which is fine, but when there are two guys setting playoff records, perhaps its time to cheat a bit and let another Oiler try to beat us from 60 feet away...you can still hustle to cover the point afterwards
