Completely agree Dobber. The game was 0-0 and the puck was in Tampa Bay's "offensive" zone and they did not even forecheck. This system is terrible for the game of hockey. This is a team that has Martin St. Louis, Vincent LeCavalier, and Steven Stamkos and they are not even trying to recover the puck in their offensive zone.
I'm glad the Flyers finally brought this issue to light and hope the NHL does something to address it. Fans of hockey want to see goal scoring from the games stars not Martin St. Louis standing still in the neutral zone, like a cone, while the puck is in his offensive zone. I really hope the NHL realizes this as the lack of offense is already alienating fans from the game.
