I got cooked

I got beat by a player I was defending against last night. He is definitely a better player than me. Is there something I did wrong, something I could do better, or is it just “he’s better, live with it”?

I am playing right side D

Edit: thank you to all who took time to reply! I really appreciate all the solid advice and constructive criticism. Everything you guys are saying seems dead on correct

Rules of thumb for defense to go for a change

Help settle a friendly debate for me.

I always felt that defense should not go for a change unless 1) we have the puck or 2) puck is dumped in deep.

My buddy says you can go for a change if the other team has possession, even in the neutral zone, provided they are behind the red line

What do you guys and gals think?
