4/7 game time is 6pm. Might change. Remember our new strategy, eh?

Cool. She can take Robin's spot. Roster is: Ellen, Robin, Sue, Linda, Liz, Tammy, JD, Ian, Tom, Mark, Patrick, Steve, Jason. So Robin, just divide it up 13 ways. Thanks!

We had good pressure forward, in general, and worked through the last minute of the game which was nice to see.  We possessed the ball nicely but delivered it slowly.  This allowed the defense more time to position themselves to either harass, interrupt, intercept or block a lot of our services – whether they were shots or passes.  One question - and I guess this is for JD more than anyone – if there is a 2v1 and the woman back is the only defender for the moment – defend the ball carrier and force the perfect pass or defend the pass and let the goalie deal with the ball carrier's shot?

(Me again) The answer is to take the better player. Liz is the exception because she gets on the ball carrier so fast and muddles it up, they slow down, giving reinforcements more time to get there. She also pinches up further than others on D, giving the other team less space to work w/and forcing them to clear it more when she is out. D, pinch up, then win the footrace, if needed. LOOK FOR LINDA AT THE POINT. SHE HAS A SOLID SHOT, PUTS IT ON NET, AND THAT MEANS TIPS AND REBOUNDS. SHE IS OFTEN LEFT WIDE OPEN. LINDA, YELL FOR IT TO REMIND US OR SLAP YOUR STICK ON THE GROUND (I do that a lot when I'm at the piont; works pretty well). (If you haven't played against Liz, you don't know; she's like you freaking shadow! I play against her at Sat open hockey from time to time. A real pain! I would add to the thoughts that I sucked this week and that we need to pass more to get better angle shots. I know all our opponents now and get feedback from the goalies after every match. Sam felt that he only really had to make 5 saves; the rest of the shots were goals or bad angles where he simply had to be in standard positions. The last two goals, passes from Steve to Tom, are great examples of passing for a good shot (nice work, you two). Remember, they are a good team. Won last season and killed the Crease Monkeys in the final. Stay focused on preparing for the playoffs. Feel free to share thoughts w/me and I'll post here, as well.

Thanks, see ya Tues!

Tammy, a true believer would put $100 on us...
