Don’t really get your point there, Lil’?
We DO have unique, and extremely talented GOAL scorers on our team, who through HARD WORK, and God given DNA, have perfected their skills to the point that SCORING GOALS, for our Caps anyway, is pretty much going to automatically happen, if they’re given the ZONE TIME opportunity!
The Caps, for many seasons now, have never had an OFFENSIVE production problem. Nobody has ever been worried whether we can score enough goals to win games!!
The Caps losses generally, are born from DEFENSIVE issues, including laziness, low effort, getting pucks out of our zone, WEAK forechecking, and backchecking, ineffectiveness in the crease, on defense, and the list goes on!
With the offensive talent on our team, for MANY years now, we have been one of the leading offensive production teams every season! Getting goals is NOT our issue!
When we play games where we occupy the opponents zone, for LONGER time, than they occupy time in ours, WE SCORE!, we are that good! And that almost always results in winning the game!! This has been the overall winning signature that we have displayed for over 5+ years now!!
It’s when we get lazy, through defensive irresponsibility, in all it’s forms, that we turn the majority of scoring opportunities over to our opponents, thus ROBBING our VERY talented guys, who have WORKED HARD, to perfect their talents, of the opportunities to EXHIBIT them!
Conversely, IF the HARD WORK you mention, were to be PUT INTO the DEFENSIVE side of our game, we would be an extremely difficult team to beat, as we almost ALWAYS WIN, when our FORWARDS play defensively responsible!
When this happens, I still believe we are the toughest team in the league to beat, hands down! It’s also one of the biggest reasons we won the Stanley Cup. The opponents skaters couldn’t even turn around, without one of our guys being right up on them, it caused a ton of puck possession changes in our favor, and as a result, our very reliable offensive production skills, simply took over, diminishing our opponents time in our zone, while increasing our time in opponents zone.
It’s been working for us this way for years!! It’s simply whether we execute it or not!
Couldn’t really tell by your comment, but maybe we’re seeing the same thing!
