haha I'd forgotten about that

[ChuckieNZ]

and I'd be more than happy to go over some plays if GM Joborule allows....

[Human Torch]

let's kick some ass right now i'm pissed.

you can go over plays all you want, but when you are playing different positions with totally different teammates each time you play, there is only so much you can do.

i seriously doubt there are many top 100 or 200 clubs that have 30 members and accept anyone.

[C-ero]

I'm going back to my goon attributes. I feel like hurting some people.

Who wants to play right now?

[Human Torch]

we have a lot on, try a practice scrim?

i agree. though practices are almost impossible since mics never work.

i dont know if the cvore guys need to start using skype for voice communication, but its hard to go over anything when you have to send psn messages back and forth

Calgarypuck should have team chat - it's a good tool.

This. We need to get a large group practice in. Even if we are playing out of position at times, it can still help us since we can see how the plays are executed.

Please! Anyone is allowed to give out some plays if they have any in mind. There are no restrictions on providing feedback and advice.

yeah even that would be an improvement since most guys have computers close by. guess we need to bring back the website!

though the cp chat worked well too.

I'm in for the practice. A lot of teams work the puck around down low and wait to centre it for a streaking player in the slot. It works, is creative because it requires coordination and motion and there are only so many times a dman is going to be in perfect position to stop it. It's pretty similar to what you drew up. Simple is best and I think we just need some practice time.

8 wins in a row later and we're back in the elite league.

[dobbles]

just looked at the team page and saw you guys had a nice day. i see vince went from -20 to +6

good job guys

[Joborule]

Kicking some serious ass out there today. Good job.
