Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 oh well if YOU say so it must be true ha ha: It's unbelievably difficult to establish a "relentless, smothering forecheck" against this Wings team, which is why you almost never see it happen. The one exception is the Anaheim Ducks. That's the game they play, and they have the personnel to do it. That's not the Pens game, though. Maybe against the lowly Caps, but not against the Wings.

Maybe this is the game that the refs call all the Wings at least once for hooking or tripping or looking at Crysby wrong... Maybe that is how Bylsma should motivate the Pens. Maybe THIS is the Bettman game! I hope not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 While I agree with what the OP said, I have to say that the strategy suggested probably is the EXACT same strategy he is trying to implement. Easier said than done agains the Red Wings. Ever tried to drive the net on Nick Lidstrom? What about Nick Kronwall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
