Defenseman Pinching to far corner
Our defense must becoe part of the offense and apply pressure deep in teh Offensive zone. Puck carrying forward when pressured will send puck to the puck behind the net to the weak side. Defenseman will read teh play and already be moving toward the corner. Player shifts are indicated and focus on giving the attacking defenseman with teh puck support options. We will remain in a 4-1 offesive set until we turnover the puck. Backcheck will be important as well as non-attacking defenseman moving to the middle of the high zone.
