I get sick of hearing people complain about the trap, too. I love defensive hockey. It might be because I learned how to watch hockey from the Stars, but I love it.

Patty, despite watching a mostly offensive team – or maybe because of it – I feel the same way. Nothing gets me more excited than a great 5-on-3 penalty kill.

My eloquent argument about trapping is that EVERYONE does it. Even, yes, the high-flying Sabres.

This is going WAY back but earlier this season a reporter asked Lindy about the Sabres going into a trap when they had a lead. Lindy immediately interrupted him and said, “I wouldn’t call it a trap.” “What would you call it?” And he put on one of those great Lindy smirks and said, “Aggresive backchecking.
”

Considering how many leads we gave up over the course of the season, I think it’s safe to say we’re not really built for “aggressive back-checking.” Or as my husband put it, “OH MY GOD, THEY’RE TRYING TO PROTECT THE LEAD! WHY?! WHYYYYYY?!?!?!?!”
