It is awful to watch, and unfortunately, we have to watch 30 to 40 minutes of it per game, because - because of IT - they can't retrieve the puck and exit their zone.
While we're on the topic... what is
even worse than this D is the fact that, on the rare occasion that they actually DO get possession of the puck, all 5 guys are standing still, so it is almost impossible to make a useful pass. They either force a pass that usually results in a turnover, or they just chip it out and let the whole process start again.
It is the worst hockey I can remember watching in a long time.
