Where did I even suggest anything remotely like that? Honestly man, I've had a lot of respect for your opinion on these boards but if you're going to continue to twist words around and be a condescending little prick just because you're losing the argument then how can you expect anyone else to have any respect for what you say? How about instead of being a jackass you just try backing up all your specious claims with some actual facts in lieu of your idle speculation?
Of course the forwards aren't locked in place, that's absurd. But to suggest that centerman don't often find themselves in the center of the ice is equally ridiculous. Offensively and defensively the center spends more time in the slot than any other player...but it doesn't follow from that that they stand there like a statue either, on the contrary they are constantly moving, and adapting to the play, especially on defense and the PK where they fill in the gaps anywhere they are needed. They also tend to spend a lot of time behind the net, setting up the play (check out a rink sometime, behind the net is actually in the center too!). Also, on average, centers tend to be bigger so they thrive parking themselves in front of the goalie (again, the net is also in the center of the ice). These are all areas of the ice that lend themselves to being point-friendly that's all I'm arguing here dickhead, if you want any more supporting evidence just let me know, I'm happy to provide
