We play a D-Zone similar to what you describe. We outnumber 3 on 2 in the corner and have the weakside wing sag all the way down and play net front. The idea is to pressure so hard and fast that it doesn't allow the offense any time to make plays. When the puck is thrown from one corner to the other. The high forward sprints over to cover the strong side D, the net front forward approaches at an angle to deny the pass to the point and any quick play to the net. The defense beat their man back to the net and when a scrum is started in the other corner, they return to outnumbering 3 on 2. It has been very effective and can play tough to play against.Most teams counter by throwing pucks from corner to corner and cycling behind the net to gain time and space.
