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.
for some reason, us 3 have pretty deadly chemistry especially going into their offensive zone

i think ideally one of us should start going behind the net (depending on situation), and start a cycle
all 3 of us could one time
all 3 of us could pass, and would pass

against crappy teams, we can just use one play, but against good teams, i think if we can develop a few plays, it will give us a better chance of winning

in defensive zone, wingers should be watching the point, and c grab their center, and at the right time winger would go help,

once in the offensive zone, i like to either make a quick pass cross to rush or yat, or i might make a quick stop, pull back a little, and pass it forward to the c, and the c would have the option to shoot, or pass it back to lw, or to rw

spreadout and getting open is the key on both ends

which i think we are doing a great job as a team, defensively we need to spreadout a little more, but that's the only actually weakness i see, and kenuck u got to make quicker passes if the lane is open going up, because when u stop, do ur spin, we are all the way up there, and once we stop to wait for a pass, our momentum stops, which makes it harder to get into the zone
