JM's short pass and puck control/support game plan is simply not very effective when your opposition is playing a 1-2-2 trap that leaves little open ice. There were a few times that the Habs tried to dump/chase but did not have the speed on the forecheck to force the Devils D into making bad passes. If speed is your strength and you know the strengths of your opponent, to not modify your game plan to put pressure on their D by proper dump/chase with speed is a recipe for disaster. If nothing else, it will prevent quick transition attacks caused by trap induced turn overs. Damn, it was a frustrating game to watch!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05680830948633970655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-70545063531296313822010-03-28T10:33:52.275-04:002010-03-28T10:33:52.275-04:00Arpon:
