Playing centre/left wing with him, dobbles and merc, and playing separately with koop for consecutive games really helped me find chemistry with them.

Even though my mic wasn't charged and I couldn't verbally communicate with him, I thought Dobbles and I started to get into a very good rhythm about covering the point for him as he was joining the rush, and we generated some solid chances out of it. More importantly though, we negated a lot of the opposition's offense by stifling them with positional play.

The dump was pretty effective, but I think we all need to make up our minds faster about what we are going to do with it. I appreciate the skill you guys bring, and it certainly results in offense, but I am a simple man, and play a simple game. If we hold it hold it hold it and then go 'dumping it in', well, the other winger has probably lost his speed by cutting in not wanting to go offside. Things like that.

I also think the point's could be utilized more effectively, and that is coming from someone who was playing centre.

Then again, I also have Tanguay-itis.
Basically, I agree with all these posts. It will just have to come with time. Let's all take it easy for this season and/or next season, get a rhythm for the feel of the game and the players, then set up a plan.
