There are 14 seconds left in the period and you are on the ice directly versus John Tavares at center. You have just missed a scoring chance and you are in front of the opponent's net along with another Hab. The puck is heading towards your end as it caroms off the boards and there is going to be a battle for the puck, where, if your guy loses, the Islanders, including Tavares, will get an odd man break going the other way unless you start skating back hard that instant...something centers are taught by PeeWee.
Instead. you stand there..just as you always do..in the hopes that your guy somehow ends up with the puck and fires it in your direction on the off chance that you do something quite rare and score. You make sure you stand there an extra second after the Islanders head back up the ice because there's still a chance that they overskate the puck before they leave the zone, and for the 450th time this season you are the last Hab forward leaving the zone as the opponents have a great chance with an odd man rush the other way.
