Neutral zone play in game 5

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Did anyone else notice that Anaheim did a particularly good job, especially early in the game yesterday, of shutting the Wings down in the neutral zone? This is how Edmonton stopped us last year.I was getting frustrated that the Wings couldn't set up a play while crossing the blue line. We just had to dump and chase. Their defensemen and centers were on every pass we made between the blue lines, at least initially.

I hope the Wings are able to shake them loose for the next game, and get some odd man rushes going.

Oh, I agree. We had our chances to put it away. Empty netter that missed comes to mind, I forget who, but someone rang Giguere's post, etc...

I know sometimes your only play is to dump and chase, but it was just a little more prevalent yesterday than it had been in awhile for me, and I commend our Wings for completely outplaying them for 59 minutes yesterday. Unfortunately, it only takes a minute... :(
