I remember playing the Dutch womens team in 2000 and was amazed to see their tactic of swimming the puck into their defensive corner.

I can only presume that the tactic was to keep the goal percentage down (ala US men in -92), in the case of a count back after the round robin.

At one point, we had one player in the sin bin and they were given the free puck nearly at half way. They took the free and then turned around and swam the puck into their defensive corner! lol

Glad to see they obviously improved their team tactics for 2004.
