@KlariskraysNHL I mean haven't the offensive guys also been in the offensive zone for an extended amount of time.. I'd also argue they're moving more if the defense is playing zone. I'd also suggest the incetivises the offense to rag (at least while in offensive zone. It's really just gonna hurt the defense. I mean I'll reserve judgement on my full thoughts until I play it some and the meta has been discovered. I don't mind the idea of it but you can't subtract from speed.. I also wouldn't subtract from what the goalie is able to do..
Me personally, if I were to implement this I would have made a pressure bar at the top.. and if one team has "x" amount of offensive zone pressure they get a buff, at it reaches diff amounts they get more. The other team would have to get sustained offensive pressure to move it in the other direction. This would even more so help teams that have elongated offensive zone time and shots but little to show for it rather than the game being decided by 2 or 3 sustained pressures. Maybe something for them to consider for the future.
