Great read, David, and the visuals were very helpful in explaining the various systems and strategies. As someone who doesn’t know a lot about hockey X’s and O’s, I really enjoyed diving into this.
Love your writing and your being frank and honesty about them. Enjoyed reading the breakdowns of the offense and defense strategies in the different systems. I love Stars hockey but OMG it hurts to not be a fair weather fan recently. Good drafting years and a nudge towards eye pleasing hockey helps to not go off the deep end. Thanks...
Thanks for the info, it helps clarify some questions I have had about offensive strategies in hockey. I see some interesting similarities between hockey and European football( because of the offsides line and the issues it causes), but also between hockey and basketball ( because of the number of players covering a playing area.) Now I have a better understanding of why some players seem to be “standing “ around on ice , especially when they are deep in their offensive zone.
Excited to see if we have the personnel to pull this off with (Hopefully) offensive numbers closer to top 10. If not JN has more work to do.

I have been wanting a comparison of the two systems. This is great. Thanks!
