I play defense in a low B league/high C league, and there's one situation as a defender I've noticed which generates more goals for the opposing team. That is the drop pass. When I'm defending and I play a tight gap on the F1 into the zone, I get jammed up when that player does a drop pass to the offensive player directly behind them. I'm caught with a decision: Play the puck carrier, and risk them getting a pass down low to the F1 player who initially carried it in, or try to play that pass, and allow the F2 to get into the high slot for a good scoring opportunity. In this situation, is it better for me to blow off the F1 and pressure F2 in the high slot, or let the goalie handle the shooter and I take away the down low option?
Here is what I'm talking about in video form, except usually in beer league guys don't one time it home like Keith:
