You misunderstand my intent. The concept is not a bad one, it is a good one and a very commonly used one. The problem lies not within the diagrams, it lies within intent. You are not creating play, you are reacting to your opponent. This means that your opponent is controlling what you do with the puck. It is very easy for the opposition to send out a single forward, causing you to go in the opposite direction, where they can easily herd you towards the wall or the corner. For your free pucks to be effective you have to take control and dictate the game to your opposition.
