"Mundane plays" ...got it. You're looking for more exciting positional defense and backchecking I take it? Players chasing hits out of position or diving all over the ice perhaps?
Then again, we're dealing from this hand, categorically...
I think I've finally pinpointed this whole *gestures broadly* thing here...even the goal posts are eroding at this point haha

(2018)Ovechkin absolutely was more rounded in these playoffs.
Ovechkin has been playing far better defense than Crosby.
Crosby flat out did not play defense against the Caps. For all the crazy points he and Guentzal put up, Crosby was on the ice for just as many goals against 5v5. Crosby's offense was fantastic, and Crosby's defense was commensurately putrid.
