Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
There might be some truth there, however, I believe it will increase the distance between players and open passing lanes that are not open at 85’. The main problem IMO is that most of the US D (in fact every one) are highly skilled players who are used to having the puck on their stick and that is their tendency, to carry when pressure is put on them rather than pass. The extra width should help them when they carry the puck, but hopefully the extra width will open a few passing lanes so they don’t have to.
when forwards cannot take the breakout pass to their backhand and make a backhand pass, but rather take the extra time to go to their forehand, the fundamental play is no longer fundamental, the defense will eliminate the option
it isn't quite as bad at the international level as it is at the college level, but still, it is there
