You don't think a strong defence clearing the zone and moving the puck up to the forwards has anything to do with scoring a goal or two (strange I thought this was hockey)? Doing the math in my head if the Defensemen of a team chase the puck in their own end the entire game and can't clear their zone, doesn't that eliminate offensive opportunity for themselves?
