If a defenseman is in front of a forward while going for a puck thats tough, its called being in position first. 

Watching the game 7 Toronto-LA replay there was an amazing amount of holding, hooking, interference and most anything goes hockey…and that game was every bit as fast or faster then yesterdays cup game.   The interference did nothing to stop the Toronto 2 and 3 period onslaught…it took Hrudy and two by Gretzky to take care of that.

If the GMs want to cry give them smaller pads and a bigger net.

This is more what “establishing” position refers to: putting yourself between the other guy and the puck while going for the puck.

Another way this is done is to mirror the puck-carrier so that the forechecker can’t get to him. The Red Wings are geniuses in this.
