During the last game against Alaska, I noticed in the 3rd period the Aces
doing one man at a time shift changes. The result was 4 men still in active
play and they hardly missed a beat. Meanwhile the Clones were doing the two
and three men changes leaving the remaining players badly out numbered. Any
thoughts on this and chance we could do this ourselves next year ? |

This tactic is typically employed to protect a lead. It allows the team with the lead to get the puck deep and keep the neutral zone clogged up to disallow the trailing team to gain momentum into the offensive zone or get a breakaway in transition or on a line change. It's also more easily done in the first and third periods when the bench is closer to the defensive end. Plus, with the way Alaska possessed the puck, they could easily dictate when they would make changes. If you don't possess the puck with consistency, this method is difficult to employ. |
