Are you allowing more time and space at the blue line?
If you're stepping up at the blue line, is the next read consistent?
So you're getting back to pucks first.
Is the first
touch on a loose puck recovery leading to an exit or are you getting sealed in your zone and spending a lot of time and then and then all of a sudden you're chasing after it and we saw periods of time where again a lot of pundits came out oh they're playing a hybrid they're playing a man to man they're playing this they're playing that and they should play this and they should play that they should should should it honestly I saw so many different defensive structures off
Yeah.
You have a re you have ingredients in front of you.
You build the best recipe.
And at the end of the day, it's about consistently executing it and being more predictable and denying certain areas of the ice where we all know a lot of scoring comes from.
So one element in their defensive zone coverage, where they tried, especially in the late latter part of the season, where they're shrinking the zone, teams were exposing them as
At times to the inside little bumper passes, they were sitting on their breakout options, and at times it it kind of squashed their ability to go from defensive zone coverage to a great transition.
And I think that there's gonna be a give and take there that their defensive play needs to lead to great transition.
Because if it's just to defend, only to defend, then
then you're going to forget about their high octane.
Well
I'll before I answer that completely, like when you say the way he plays
know,
I think it's that last point.
I think the element that a lot of defensemen have had to learn to be uh consistent and have longevity is that you don't have to take every physical confrontation, meaning like I've moved the puck.
You know, like again, everybody thought Lane Hudson was gonna get run out of the NHL in his rookie year and potentially in his sophomore year.
