Need to just be more aware of your surroundings. Exhibit A:

Need to just be more aware of your surroundings.

I believe the NHL has made it perfectly clear its always the hitter's responsibility and never the hittee's responsibility to avoid the play.

1-1 Russia vs OHL

[Richybear]

Smyth scores again. Then the Kid Line gets one 30 seconds later.
Was scared it was gonna be a Boston walloping tonight

Doesn't mean you should absolve yourself of all responsibility of keeping yourself safe coming around the back of the net like that at full-speed.

Barry Trotz on the 1-3-1:

I think it's real difficult, as coaches we don't get a chance to play Tampa a lot and they play that very, very passive system with a great counterattack. That's their bread-and-butter. Coaches are starting to figure it out -- that's what we do. We dissect things, we figure it out. We played Tampa once, I think we did a really good job of dissecting what they do. Every system has a weakness. Every system has a strength. I think as coaches you have to accept what the other tactic is in terms of their system and then you have to try to exploit their weakness.

Unfortunately for Laviolette, "We aren't playing anymore" isn't the weakness of the 1-3-1.

You're both right. The rule is on the hitter, but there's always been a base element of "pay attention to your surroundings".

And I think we're better for it. So we can watch things like:

Aha! Captain Serious with his second of the game. Now if only the rest of the team would get the ball rolling, especially Sharp, and Seabrook lol.

[Anton]

Starting pretty defensive, Scrivens made two quality saves, and now the leafs are on the offence

[Selamis]

Need a few more goals from Toronto and Edmonton tonight, would be super awesome lol.

[isladar]
