I really hate that neutral zone 1-3-1 horseshit with 0 forecheck.

Still some of the dumbest shit ever. Onus is on the Flyers to move the puck and analysts pretended there was a debate.

If we do, do it on their home arena.

This is great if you’re late to the game so you don’t miss anything

They should completely remove the offside rule in cases like this somehow.
Years ago the neutral zone was larger and the blueline was closer to the goals. They moved the blueline out to make the attacking zone bigger, but it had the side effect of clogging up the neutral zone and making entry harder.
Maybe if they made the blue “line” a blue “zone” that gave a lot more grace room to entries and exits (e.g. the blueline is effectively closer to the goal for purposes of offsides on zone entry and effectively farther from the goal for clearing the puck and forcing the attacking team to retreat) that would help.

No point of doing this if you’re not in the lead. Ruins fans time and money to see a good hockey game. Smh

If we’re gonna go down I’d rather go down swinging but I get your point

Score and then we should chill like this.

Yes, it’s garbage hockey. However, the onus should be on the team with the puck to attack. That’s how it is in basketball, for instance. The team with the ball is the one that needs to move forward. They have a shot clock to prevent them from doing what the Flyers were doing. Although, basketball also has illegal defences too, so the analogy isn’t perfect.

I’m not the kind of hockey fan who can spot a strategy/play and know what it is, but I can say for certain that the games we play against the Kings are boring as hell. It’s interesting to find out they’re playing “the trap” I’ve heard about for years.

The one forward on the King’s was forechecking though so they weren’t as bad as this. Still super boring but they wouldn’t embarrass themselves like this. I don’t think….

This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in the NHL.
Who was the coach of the Flyers at the time?

Did they not put a rule in if a team was to do what Philly did? I’m pretty sure it’s a delay of game penalty for the team with the puck not attacking

If we get the lead we definitely should
Is this a real game? When did this happen?
Garbage hockey. Playing the trap should be a bench minor.
Why did they blow the play down?
Would love to see this.
Can we also get the crowd to cluck like chickens?
Yeah I remember that well. I actually linked that earlier today on the Zadorov thread: [https://www.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/1bpfpzx/comment/kwy2bqv/](https://www.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/1bpfpzx/comment/kwy2bqv/)
