Sometimes you just go D to D and open up for a return pass without always trying to sling it up two zones.

He does a stretch pass a lot. He usually makes the pass but it’s not usually the best play at the NHL level. If he misses, it’s at best a loss of possession and at worst an icing. f he makes it, the recipient is up ice with no one to pass to. It’s only if the guy gets a breakaway that it’s a good opportunity.
If they are going to do it, at least two forwards have to be breaking hard.
