Wow.

I can see why the record is as such.

I haven't played much in the last month because we always have several players online and I want to let others play the game as well since i played several in the first season.

We started out real well this year and went south because people started to play solo games. I cannot count how many games have been lost because forwards walk over the blue line and slap it or try a L1 deke and turn the puck over uselessly. Additionally I cannot count the amount of times that the D gets caught and we give up odd men breaks (I do this at least 2-3 times a game). The auto back skate has a large amount to do with this but so does the fact that some defense just don't understand not to pinch when one D is already in the zone on a pinch.

A few weeks ago I remember being able to pass the puck into the high slot and hit a winger or centerman but the last 4-5 games I played I was hitting our Defenseman. I like forward wayyyyy better then defense but play defense because people get near tears when they can't play forward. There is several players on our team that will play any position even if they are much better on the offensive side. I play D because the santos bothers and Jobo SCORE GOALS, much more then me.(side note I have seen them all play other positions for the sake of letting others play)

People need to own up.
If you decide to call for the pass and your a forward, or if your out of our zone and we are on the penalty kill without the puck, your more of a liability then anything else.
We don't need 2 forwards standing in front of the net getting angry because people won't pass to them. If you want to puck get open, this goes for breakouts too. If your a D and you pinch with one D already pinching, again your a liability. I was a major offender of pinching in early on in the season because I wanted to be the hero like everyone else but its just not smart.

I am not saying I am the king of players, if anything i am below average and make tones of mistakes a game. However I never decide to blame my teammates for the mistakes I make.
