Help! I've been guilt of forcing plays

[JSchultz 25]

I think that's a good idea. As far as breakouts go, I had the opportunity to see the blackhawks play the wings tonight (go wings) and in person watching a pro team breakout is amazing. Both the wingers came back relatively deep in the zone, while the center would hang out at the blueline in case a longer pass or other breakout pass was needed. There were a couple of short passes, and BAM! the wings would be on their way. I think the key to my survival and enjoyment is simply getting at least one forward in the zone, like you said. I'm going to talk to them on wed, and see what they say.

i can only give advice on ice, but 2 things. never anything in front of the net and if you have no options and theres pressure on you, off the glass and out.
