There really needs to be some kind of consequence for having the puck in the offensive zone and retreating behind your own blue line. That shit is the polar opposite of exciting.

It's just so dopey. Teams will coach the excitement out of pretty much anything. And strategically, it makes sense to just continue to control the puck. But it's so dumb that this is what it's evolved into.

Ill say it again Hughes is not a #1 Dman you win a cup with

I still think he can be that "top minute guy", but yeah...if he's going to be that for your team, you also need to find a second sort of #1b guy who is just the polar opposite sort of skillset. Towering, physical, lockdown defence guy.

Like Ehrhoff wasn't a guy you win a Cup with as your #1D...but that team when healthy, had a strong enough blueline to win with him as one of a collection of #1b/2D sort of guys with differentiated skillsets.
