I always park in front of the opponents goal. I don't see why not.
First of all I usually win the faceoff, and if I don't, I have a great chance of getting it back. Second, the faceoff in your opponent's end is a great set play that can often lead to a goal. Third, if the goalie dares to pass you can pick it off. And lastly, if you're lucky and good you can even poke it away from the goalie as he freezes it for an easy goal.
