<3 A lot of that was me boning you by not taking it in myself when I should have and instead shooting a ton of crappy passes your way.
I've switched my builds several times over the last couple weeks trying to find something that works.
It's all good, I botched up a bunch of plays as well, we still got the wins though, so we're playing good enough to win when we're not at our best.
I'm pretty surprised our record is as good as it is this month. Seems like we're playing like shit more often than not.
Well I'll tell you why there were so many turnovers. 80% of the time you guys look for a cross crease, and it's really predictable so we either get stonewalled by the goalie or the defense picks it up.
If there is a 2 on 1 opportunity and there is a dman in the passing lane, chances are he'll grab it/block it, so just take the shot. What's the worse that can happen? Maybe try a shot that is a wrister to the pads and hope the other rushing forward can snag it for the rebound goal.
Or you could pass it back to me or Vis who were wide open like half the time. I mean if you don't feel comfortable passing to me, which isn't insulting to me since I'm pretty bad on offense, throw it to Vis, he's good.
Not like any of this will change since this has been our strategy the entire year even though various people have pointed this out (-_-)

It's amazing how often we get a cross crease within the opening minute of a game.
I think the solution is Viz plays center and defense at the same time and I play Minecraft
If last month is any indication, then it looks like we're headed for an Elite Banner this month!
We have to be below .500 to win banners I think.
So what you're telling me is you want me to go short side more often? Sounds good captain.
I didn't know you could go short side more than you do now

what banner last month, I don't see any...
Is that what that was? I thought your controller was broken
I actually worked on some moves coming down the wing, and break away's last night.
No, after our games. I worked on some new moves cause I've been having a hard time scoring coming down the wing alone.
Should have thought of this months ago
You should join me, Habs were in the playoffs last time I saw you score a breakaway goal.
I'm amazed it hasn't gotten me already. :lol
Thanks for the advice coach, please teach me more how to be so awesome like you so I can tell you that you suck
Nobody ever said a damn word about hockey until their players couldn't keep their mouths shut. No one's fault but those guys own! Don't come out giving other sports shit and then get all defensive when people come right back at you. I like hockey and its game and players but you can't deny it's simply not very relevant, just look at the TV deals. I'm not taking any shots at the game itself though, I would watch games. and it's far more entertaining than fucking baseball
And yeah, without a doubt hockey players have to deal with FAR worse shit than basketball players, but they're talking like "oh gosh he should have just fought through that and played!" reality is in basketball, he would have been a liability out there so playing through whatever he had would be stupid and selfish.

I think you are taking it too personally. I don't think anyones offended by calling hockey irrelevant, it's a niche sport in america. And hockey players are tougher than basketball players and they are just calling it like they see it.
Basketball sucks anyways
edit: that being said i'll probably get on tonight

people sure seem offended but I don't blame them cause my words were not kind. and yes I probably was a little too irritated by hockey players saying dumb shit like that, especially cause it's LeBron and I've already had to hear such ridiculous shit about him
yes we all get hockey dudes are tougher, basketball players would cringe to go through what they have to, but it's just a very douchey thing to go on twitter and be all macho about it
You're gonna have to send me a really long straw then
I'm too special ed to know how to leave enemy crease
Since I wasn't playing and this still happened, I refuse to take any further responsibility for any future failings on offense.
We started good, I had a few hatties, and Noz and Ph33nix both had multiple goal games, it was just the last two games we could getting anything behind the goalie. Hit a bunch of posts again too.Since I wasn't playing and this still happened, I refuse to take any further responsibility for any future failings on offense.
That one was genuinely good until it all fell apart
Yeah, just didn't have much in the way of a sustained attack tonight. I guess I could've gone behind the net more to try to set stuff up that way? The slot was so clogged most of the time I just tried to keep a screen going. The whole night felt off, you and I were't getting the breakouts we usually do, and I wasn't really in sync the way we usually are for moving the puck around.
I think your sweet dangles confuse the other team more than it does Legit and I at this point.Since I wasn't playing and this still happened, I refuse to take any further responsibility for any future failings on offense.
My OT crossbar shot was excruciating
I'm just bummed we made Swim sad
Yea it was really difficult to get any shots through tonight, even swim had close to 15 shots probably, but had a tough time getting good ones on. Just one of those nights, still won a few games. It was really difficult with the AI d-man too, because he kept leaving the guy open for a tap in on the opposite side of Swim.
also I just saw this but should I turn on the online arrow indicator? because I swear I heard or was convinced that even though your Pos score is based off that, that its not necessarily the right move
I'm going to try a speed and agility heavy build and hop into a pickup game (and pray I don't have to deal with shitty human goalies). we'll see what happens

Crank your weight up to 275. You'll be a bit harder to check and it won't affect your speed at all.
You don't have to be exact on the arrow but if you sorta stick to it you'll be fine.
Wow, that's like Diablo 3 bad
Will that affect my pivoting though? I have pretty high agility as well.
