You can’t just hang out in the opponent’s end and wait for someone to pass you the puck. The puck needs to be carried in, or dumped in and then chased after it crosses the line.

More or less. It’s just that rather than the rearmost defender setting the location of offsides it’s a blue line that indicates where the “offensive zone” starts.
