It is very easy for the opposition to send out a single forward, causing you to go in the opposite direction, where they can easily herd you towards the wall or the corner. For your free pucks to be effective you have to take control and dictate the game to your opposition. |
rather than giving my opinion in my own words read this quote again... no READ every word and let it sink in, don't just skim over it and say yeah yeah yeah I get it but look at my drawing I have options. READ these words above. IF you are reacting to the opponent you are giving away part of your advantage. AS I said earlier, I, ME, ONE singular forward is going to force your deciscion on which way you go, and I might get there faster than you think, and if I do it will be one on one with me (white #2) and your green #6.
Also your white #'s 4 and 5 Are way to agressive. They will not be colapsing on the puck forward, they will wait and see where the puck is going. Let me try my hand at the drawing to set up the defense. in the meantime Sven, ask yourself is that how you would set up the defense to an advantage puck for your team??
