I empathize with the Swiss here a bit. I've been on plenty of teams that have tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to play this style. I'll say two things: a. it takes a ton of discipline to be remotely succesful and b. it's pretty much the least fun way to play. Seriously, didn't you feel a little cheated in Mighty Ducks III when the team basically set up a fence around their own goal? I'd much rather see the flying V. Believe me, the Swiss don't like playing this way, but they know it's their only chance to win. It's also frustrating because when the other, more talented team does finally break you down, you have no plan B. Your plan B is to lose by 8 goals.
