It's not boring. It's TENSE and STRATEGIC.
That's only if you zone the entire time anyway.
I've learned that it's almost better to get in and deal a lot more damage and go for a sure win. I mean, when you zone, you spend 99 seconds poking at him only to lose it all when he gets in. You can't give him that time.
If the Tager's good enough to force me to stay out, then I'll stay out.
Of course, you're still keeping at the right ranges and playing footsies.
