Anybody read Ben Pope’s arricle in the suntimes about the changes Blashill is making?

I didn’t get this part:

Other systems
The Hawks’ neutral-zone trap remains similar to the 1-1-3 system Sorensen installed last winter, albeit with slightly more aggressiveness involved.

A 1-1-3 trap involves one forward (the “F1″) pressuring the breakout, a second forward supporting him and three Hawks guarding the blue line. If there’s a contested puck, it can morph into more of a 2-1-2.

The Hawks’ defensive-zone breakouts after dump-ins by the opposition will look different. Instead of both defensemen skating below the goal line, one will hold above the net and wait for the puck-retrieving defenseman to either wheel around the net or reverse direction.

The retriever won’t have the option of a “D-to-D” pass, but he should also encounter less forechecking pressure.

Why remove the option of a D 2 D pass?
So the retreiver has to skate the puck out himself,or ring it around out of the zone or find a forward to pass to?

Nice to have 2 spots to talk Hocks witht the season starting soon.

Kantserov scored another goal today and Frondell’a Djurgarden should start in about 2 hours.

All eyes on Korch and Allan tonight?

Hey Capn, your posts are always solid. Glad you made your way over………….. The lineups out? Always wanna see Allan, I’m a fan, but really wanna see Spellacy most and Lardis too. IMO there’s gonna be a time where Gavin Hayes nudges his way into the conversation…. Kid cruises with his head up, has the shot to score while he creates in a smooth manner.

Hey hey Rico
Nice to see you are still around!
How did the young gun Korch look last night?

Read quite a few posts that Moore looked good(not just because of the goal).

Greene killed it at the dot last night,not sure how his play was outside of that

Frondell had a nice tip for a goal as well!

Edit: tried to reply to Cach Frenchy’s welcome post..donno what’s going on..doesn’t matter. I guess I’ll figure it out
