I agree. Being a skater means you need the ability to have depth in what's going on in the ice. Not to mean that you should be all over the ice like a dangler, but heck, if you're a Defenseman, you gotta come out of the point occasionally to screen the net, and if you're a Forward, you gotta fucking backcheck and help the D and prevent odd-man rushes. There are some faggots that believe some players should only have one fucking dimension, that Forwards should do offense only and that Defensemen should do defense only. Pittsburgh may be able to score goals till the cows come home, but if they can't prevent the opposing team from taking shots and making turnovers, seriously, what good is the offense?
Pittsburgh has zero chance. If they're all attack and no defense, they won't get too far. Not to mention Fleury and Conklin are fucking shitty goaltenders. Defense and goaltending win Stanley Cups.
Some wiseasses (*cough*Jersey*cough*) got too smart on the defense and made the game "boring" to the shirt-and-ties at the League office, so they had to modify the rules to reduce effective defense and give faggots like Crosby more of a chance to score goals. They're even considering making the nets bigger, as if reducing pad size and letting refs make bullshit calls on the D wasn't bad enough.
