Message: [QUOTE="STEVEHOLT, post: 1204615, member: 522"] Could someone explain to me why our forwards, particularly our centers, have been terrible at blocking out the last few years? The announcers are always harping on the "no block out responsibilities" in a zone and I think that is freaking BS. Of course you have block out responsibilities. Find the nearest body and block it out. The game vs Cal, a replay was shown where Cal missed a shot and one of their forwards comes crashing from the top of the key for an uncontested put back. The narrative being, "see, no block out responsibilities in the zone" . In that same replay you can see Rak blocking out air, never looking to pick up a body that he would have had a significant positional advantage on had he identified him and done his job. [/QUOTE]
