Focusing too much on offense from the defence, results in the goalie having to do more recovery work. This is why the Jets' goalies (not just Helle) usually succeed against oppositions.
Since I can't edit the above, I'll apologize here in a reply to my own comment about my now noticing this in your article (where you do state essentially state what I complained about, and therefore my complaint is wrong. You didn't ignore it. But you did not go in depth with it, resulting in many other readers also not being aware of that super important point and therefore pushing the wrong idea that unless teams have defensemen play offense more than defense they're playing incorrectly.
//I’ve expressed skepticism in the past with the idea that having defencemen lead the rush is necessarily a good thing for reasons that Corey himself summed up quite well in the linked McKeen’s piece:
You could argue it’s better to have your D involved [as a trailer rather than leading the rush] because the whole point of having them involved is to create a numerical advantage at the line or in the offensive zone. If the defender is leading the rush, usually a forward has to stay back or stationary at the line to cover.//
This article is ignoring a super important point.
