I admittedly haven't watched many non-Habs games this year, but something that stood out to me from those clips was how reluctant the Caps and Jets are to ring
the puck around the boards.
Not exact matches
Just carry the dang
puck in and fire (easier said than done I know) but this flinging it
around the
boards doesn't work a lot
Coleman was facing Lovejoy as the
puck came
around the
boards and should probably have recognized both his defensemen were in the far corner and stayed in front of the net.
MacInnis got the
puck behind his net and sent it
around the
boards, trying to clear the zone.
