Why is it that every time the puck goes behind the net in the offensive zone, two forwards go behind the net?
Since they decreased the depth of the goal, every other team tries to get their puck-handlers alone behind the goal for a wrap-around attempt or centering pass. Far too often, the Sabres have two offensive players behind the net, which of course draws an extra defender. Now there are 4 guys down there instead of 1-2. Plus, with two players below the red line, it's one less guy in front of the net to receive a pass.
This happened consistently in that pathetic effort against Florida. I don't get it at all. No doubt the team suffers from both lack of experience and lack of talent, but this is a simple coaching adjustment that could make an impact.
