OPTIONS. Thats what the defense need in the o zone. Can't be forwards who do the same thing all the time. They must be able to read the forecheck and give the D some viable options. Philly did this well and in most cases got out of thier end. Crap, Schenn who is a plug(skating wise) was getting the puck out. Karlsson etc couldn't. NO friggin options except ring around the boards. This is the easiest option to cover. Philly always has a low forward as an option.
