| i agree with amc2 and alex,its a great psychological advantage and physical.
ever notice in some club games when you win the puck and get past the first man,your buddy is beside you and between the two. you somehow get it to the 3 metre goal mark,well the feeling of strength is immence,you feel you can go through that wall.
and as you are percieved to be making a good run,your team mates up the rythm and push in behind you.
so the pressure is on the opposite side physically and mentally.
as apposed to
going for the puck lasily,losing it,their forwards barging past and doing exactly what i said in the above paragragh.i think iŽd rather the first paragraph.
but a question for amc2.
Is it worth the energy exerted to get to that puck when most occasions anything may happen when you get to the puck?
or for all of you that voted anything less than fairly important.
WHAT IF
your 2-1 down and a minute to go you have just had a time out,nothing to loose,you send out everybody straight to the puck,so thats 6 people sprinting their life out to the puck on one mission,thats to drive it through you and that goal.
would you think its important to get possesion of that puck ?
or
your happy with 2-1 and your gonna sit back just wait for the minute to clock down.
has anyone seen a situation like that ?
