I was watching the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 the other day. Whilst watching, I found myself thinking about and asking so many questions. These questions, sometimes relate to the Penguins specifically and other questions are more hockey related, in general.
So, here they are.
If Teams who win the Stanley Cup are typically puck possession teams, then why dump and chase? I get it when you need a line change or are being chased by a defender. However, once you gain a zone, why not keep control and make play or take a shot on net.
