“Prime example of a struggling D pair. Del Zotto and Zaitsev both battling in the same Dzone corner. That’s a no-no. Communicate to the net front fwd to go instead. It’s those small details that separate the good teams from the bottom feeders.”
i remember doing a bit on the SU podcast about this. Gonchar and some other D were in the same corner. Gonchar looked up and saw his partner beside him and he was like, " wait,. if you're here, and I'm here...who's in front of the net?" SCORES! OTHER TEAM!
EK 65 had a bad habit of following the play into the corner when the other Dman was already there.
