What their responsibilities are. I see the C is like the QB, does that mean they’re normally the best players on the team? Centers are forwards. It's just a specific position within the forward group, like a QB on offense in football. Right and Left wing are the other two forward positions. There's not a huge ton of differences, to be honest. The biggest is probably their defensive responsibilities as the center has much more to account for in terms of ice coverage. Wings will mostly cover guys along the boards and within a much smaller frame of space as they are going to be much faster to transition to offense to break out from the defensive zone. Centers also take the majority of face offs, but wingers will do that as well. Wingers have a little more ability to freelance and float than a center does. Centers aren't necessarily the best players on the team, but you tend to over emphasize centers because most (not all, but most) centers can be wingers but a good chunk of wingers are playing there because they can't play center. Otherwise, you can have a lot of overlap. Some centers may be puck controllers and play drivers more often, but wingers can do that as well (on the Devils, Bratt is the best example of that).

Forge Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I honestly kind of hate that goalie interference call there. I get it...and it's definitely right, but just from a hockey perspective, I kind of hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that. So Centers I’m assuming chase the puck more in different areas and wingers stay in their zones more. Lot less shots on goal this game compared to last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to endure it sometimes....he is actually one of best defensemen in the NHL. Top 5 maybe, top 8-9 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ruff will not be a ******* moron and realize the season slide started when he started to lean heavily on his 4th line C. This team is ****ed until he's gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
