Change the gd breakout pass plan, they are using the leave zone early stretch pass to the centre along the boards strategy. There are many other strategies, ours sucks and it's been figured out. Engelland, Wideman, Kulak, Dougie even Gio have had trouble with the breakout.
They should be using more lateral passes and cut plays as the pure up and down the ice defensive play doesn't work worth a crap when every team in the league knows that's what we're going to do. They played such a simple game before so the team could gel and now it's time to adapt and evolve. One strategy is not enough, we need multiple strategies for each scenario depending on what the opposition is doing. There are atleast 3 or 4 standard strategies in each zone and we as a team seem very limited in that regard.
