3 assists. I played defense. Forwards need to clog up the neutral zone to prevent long stretch passes and east-west traffic. It would also be great if they would come back and help out on defense. I watched the LiveBarn video and I was stuck on at least 17 odd-man rushes by myself! Brutal!

It's a long season. Look what the Blues did.

Everyone learns from their mistakes, hopefully. Better now, than later.  What skill level are you playing at? If it's lower level, 1. the other guys may not be able to skate back quickly, or 2. don't know they need to transition to defensive positioning when they lose control of the puck, or 3. plain lazy and hope someone is playing D.

Is your team new and the team that won has been playing together for years?

Yeah. No one has any clue who each other is yet and the other team has been playing together for a long time. They executed a lot of set plays. A lot of east-west movement of the puck vs just north-south and one touch passing.
