EHM The Blue Line

I am a new member of a online league, the general consensus is that offensive teams are generally superior to defensive ones. I was wondering if this was 100% true, and if not how could I build a effective defensive team.

I havent played an online league, so my perspective is limited, but if you're looking for defensive strategies, I'd take a look through the challenge forums for batdad's posts. It's not a detailed guide by any means, but he mentions things he does in bits and pieces, and he seems to be good at making defensive strategies work.

For a more balanced approach, check out Shindigs' posts in the even strength tactics thread.

I imagine the concepts they use would hold true in multiplayer as well as offline, but I may be wrong. Someone with actual online league experience would probably be better able to give advice, but I figured I'd weigh in.
