Welcome to NHL 2011.
When the redline was "removed" the result was the death of the forecheck.
Everyone now stands 3-4 players in the neutral zone.

Yeah, saw that yesterday...I found it hilarious. 
Mind you, I'm not exactly a fan of Boucher's trap system. B-O-R-I-N-G.

Crosby won't play Friday or Saturday for Penguins
Sidney Crosby has needed rest, rehabilitation, weekly doctors' visits and lots of on-ice time while recovering from the concussion that put him out of action more than 10 months ago.
Add in plenty of patience -- now more than ever.
Crosby went through another full-scale, full-speed practice Thursday -- one so good that teammate Steve Sullivan said he can’t tell Crosby ever was hurt -- but Crosby was ruled out of the Pittsburgh Penguins' games Friday against Dallas (7 p.m., NHLN-US) and Saturday at Carolina.
Coach Dan Bylsma wouldn't hint about a possible return date, but he insisted the Penguins aren't being clandestine and will disclose when Crosby has been cleared to play.
That will occur, he said, "sometime down the road," and only after Crosby's doctors are certain that a player who was dominating the NHL at this time a year ago is 100-percent ready.

Yeah, I already know. I expect him to play Tuesday, but wouldn't be surprised if he waits longer

^^ I bet it will be longer.....and it should be.....Crosby should take all the time he needs....no rush. The league needs him more than the Pens.

You clog the neutral zone.....we will sit and wait for the passing lanes to open up.

I like what Philly did too, I think it's Tampa who is suffering from :theghey:
IMO, Philly should have been able to sit there all night long with the puck. They had possession, they weren't laying on the puck to keep Tampa away from it, Tampa made no attempt to go get the puck so Philly just said, "hey, it's not our fans who are getting pissed off here, come get us." It's only a delay of game if Tampa makes an attempt to get the puck and Philly does something illegal to keep it from them. Tampa showed no interest in getting the puck, I see no delay of game.

I'm shocked we haven't seen that type of protest before.
Its too bad a team with 3 of the leagues best players has to resort to that

Maybe I'm not remembering the timeline correctly, but I think we (the fans) complained much more about the trap before the removal of the redline.
