Flipping the puck to center ice all game, getting no results, and continuing to do it with a few minutes left in the game is literal insanity. I get that the Isles are really clogging it up and making it tough to break out and I don't claim to have a better hockey mind than an NHL coach in any way, but wouldn't a forward skating it in to the neutral zone then dump it in to the offensive zone when pressure gets tight get them at least one step closer? This is like a worse version of dump and chase where in this case the dump is simply from our own faceoff dots to the neutral zone. Fester didn't come ready with a plan for the Isles, but Lyon is a DOG so it might not matter.
