For me...that PK sequence Mo had against the Flyers was every bit as spectacular as anything Zegras has done.  He toyed with them for what...30 seconds?

it seems so obvious that to reverse ice and hold possession is a good play at many points in a game but players are basically afraid to do it because they don't have the confidence they won't be fore-checked into a bad turnover. You have to have elite level possession skills - Seider does.

There’s a risk/reward that may not be beneficial. So many games come down to a split second bad decision in the defensive zone that turns into a goal at the other end.  I think coaches would prefer their blue liners to err on the side of caution and not take risks.  As for Seider, he has a different type of talent and can do pretty much whatever he wants well.
