when we were down 3-0 in that last game, i wasnt too worry, somehow, i had a feeling that we really got that game.
i think our breakout is fine (transition from D zone to O zone), our cycle and getting open is good too, our biggest weakness is we chase in the defensive zone (myself guilty as that as well at times), but if everyone can play their man in the defensive zone, help out only when it wont create too much open space for other opposing players, our team will be tough to beat (imo)

I'm guilty of always looking for the one-timers too even when I'm not in the best spot for a shot. I need to be more cognizant of looking for other plays.
When we're up on the boards in the offensive zone, I like how Yat goes up in behind the net to give us another passing option. I've only started noticing that he was doing that last game and managed to get him the puck on one occasion and he then went in around behind the net and passed it back on front to me on a sweet give-n-go play... too bad I didn't score on that one.
Mini, I agree that we have a good rush. Just so we're on the same page, when we're on the rush and Yat has the puck coming up the right wing, I'm likely going to stop in the high slot while you'd continue to the lower farside. We'd both be ready for one-timers and Yat will have the option to pass to me (in the high slot) or you (in the lower farside).
Anyways, I think we're building some great chemistry. It's been fun playing with Mini, Yat, and Kenucks. Van-19 typically comes around 2230hrs and Skead has been coming on at about 2300hrs. Unfortunately, by the time Van and Skead show up, I'm basically done and going to bed.
