Who designed tonights forechecking assignments?
Try making sure that 3rd man is hovering in the right spot in the n-zone to pick off their outlets which they are directing to the middle in that area
just inside the blueline.
You should be bringing those pressure outlet pucks right back at them,but I see Hall falling and wayyy out of position instead.
Come on already you have had enough time to make these reads on the forecheck.
How come there is no offensive pressure,why are we so anemic,where are our tactics? The screwed up forechecking and failure to police the n-zone
properly are drying up our offense.
Lets see those sticks down on the ice hard,lets see those same short quick passes you started the game with,lets see some give and goes fnished off at
the net.Lets see that shot from just inside the blueline high from the middle.
What do I have to do give you everything read,reacts,tactical structure,give me a break already.
Do you have a Tactical Shooting Program in place tonight?No darn way you do with the number of -zone entrys you are wasting and are NOT coverting into
shots on net.
If they are clogging up the n-zone on you,no brainer,as you exit your own zone,consider some nice HIGH lobs shots used to dump the puck in behind
their n-zone mass of pressure,make the lobs as soon as you step over your blueline,not to hard,and not to fast and TO THE MIDDLE,try to drop them
right in the middle of their zone.Obviously use this as as a secondary option.But use it.Also use the bank shot off of the boards in the n-zone,the
angles are optimal just 2 feet over center on their side,but simply use that bank shot off the boards and hit the rebound with youir support cutting
through the middle of their zone,early in the game you missed a pass and that mid-neutral zone bankshot split their system wide open optimally,it was
a fortuitous thing to have happen IF YOU NOTICED IT AND KNOW HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE OBSERVATION.Between periods someone go back and find the playaction
where that puck came off the boards perfectly and work your offense around that playaction,it really did split them wide open,if you time it right you
will really burn them,and maybe more than once if they dont read it accurately the 1st time you pull it off.
Tell Perron to take the puck in and go 5-hole,but he is a better option for shooting from the MIDDLE 2-3 feet over the blueline at "high speed" trying
to catch the 6'5 beanpole as he drops down through his transuition in net.Tell Perron its the long shot HIGH and the follow up for the rebound or the
close in rush with a 5-hole snap-shot,no more wasted bad angle shots off the hard angles on the wing unless he drops his shot to the goalies ribcage
where his jersey hides a 5 inch hole on the post.It is a gap that Perron doesnt look for because the jersey makes it look like there is no room for
the shot,just power the shot in nice and heavy and it will blow through that hole and jersey covering it.
If you doubt the hole i just explained is there DONT, today I watched the TO-Sabres game and 3 of the 4 shootout goals went to the goalies
elbows,exactly where many many more shots than the league average have been going over the last 3 years since the NHS has been promoting Intuitive
Dynamic Managment tactics and the manipulation of the Goalies body mechanics.
Yes I said shoot at the Goalies elbows back then and I am saying ribcage right now,just do what you are told for once,that is a last resort shot
anyways,Perron shouldnt be taking those hard angle shots so much anyways,he needs to lean into the middle more often.
You have all spent YEARS shooting on Dubby in practise,and where is Chabot already,6'5 is 6'5 wether its Dubby or the kid you are facing tonight,so
light this kid up already ans stop making 2nd rate goaltenders look better than they are,you are getting into your own heads here already.The lacking
of TSP is very evident and is having a major negative impact on this game already,pee-poor pre-planning boys.
The Tactical Shooting program gives the men more time ,and leeway to be creative when they are executing their n-zone transition and o-zone entrys.It
removes the set play reliance,and allows you to speed up the shot conversion by over 25% above the conventionally optimal speeds.
This game is SOOOOO there for the taking.It is low hanging fruit man.
