while we are talking strategy, one thing i think we need to remember is on the breakout not to totally abandon the defenseman when he gets the puck. there are times where i am going to turn it over either because the pressure from the forward is quality or i happen to make a mistake. but unfortunately when that happens, we often have 4 guys already waiting at the opposition blue line. i know i often have to remind myself of this when the other dman has the puck. i will want to start skating out of the zone to be open for a pass, but will have to tell myself to stay back in case of a turnover.
