    I had to jump around and cheer silently since my wife and 10 month old son are sleeping. That was not easy to do.

    Glad to see that they won it, finally. The problem with the Hawks' attack is that they are too slow to the puck when they dump it and the trap is breaking up carries into the zone. To break the trap, your chasing forwards need to have a head of steam once the puck is dumped in. Since the Hawks like play with long passes, they don't have that speed. If you play dump and chase, you have to chase with speed, otherwise, you have the anemic offense that we saw here in the last two games. Alternatively, you can carry into the zone and use a modified dump and chase, or carry in and break the trap with good cross ice passing or a quick drop pass (overloading one side to clear out the other). The Hawks were most successful when they carried into the zone, drew a Canuck defender out of position and controlled the puck. Unfortunately, the Canucks are very disciplined and don't make this mistake too often. I will say that the Hawks did the right thing early -- if you can get a lead on the Canucks, they begin to make mistakes when they try to do too much. They just didn't get the goals. Anyway, this is a long way of saying that Hawks struggled because Vancouver is forcing them to play dump and chase, and they aren't chasing the puck well at all.

    It's not that complicated to understand, though in practice it's pretty tough to play. When the opposing offense has possession, the left wing (though this is not always the left winger) lines up with the defensemen, splitting the coverage zones three ways rather than two. The center and right wing forecheck into the left wing. This cuts down on odd man rushes, leads to quick turnovers and odd-man rushes.

    Are you even watching the game? The blackhawks were outplaying them by quite a bit before the powerplays. This thread has become unreadable with your terrible posts and cynosure. The Blackhawks are going to appear to be outplaying Vancouver a lot, because Vancouver is content to play extremely sound defense, let Luongo make the saves and wait for the Hawks to have defensive breakdowns and penalties, which they will. Hockey is subtle and hard to understand to the unknowledgable fan. Awesome, a bunch of vague meaningless analysis from you as usual. You forgot to use the word textbook and the term fresh legs. Enjoy living in North Dokta =D> Let's be honest, you probably never played competitive hockey and wouldn't know how to play a left wing lock (if you can skate that is). Enjoy posting in this thread all night, I'm out. Peace. Wow, the old "you never played X sport so you can't comment" crap. Fail.

    Ugh. Just ugh.
  19. brinoch
    That was very undisciplined.
  20. brinoch
    Wow. Great come back here. Now let's win it.
  21. brinoch
    Carried into the zone. Not dumped in.
  22. brinoch
    That's because we've been shorthanded.
  23. brinoch
    Vancouver's defense is making Luongo look incredible -- not that he's not playing well, because he is. But the Canuck defense is pretty *really* well.
  24. brinoch
    1. Traffic in front of the net is needed. 2. Charge the net. 3. Don't take dumb penalties. 4. Win faceoffs. 5. Carry the puck into the zone.
  25. brinoch
    Ugh.
