Message: [QUOTE="cuselaxss26, post: 5690884, member: 8563"] Can’t say i’ve looked closely at it or into it either. But i wonder what mullen / angelo or trying to do on face. I know mullen is big clamper seems n loves to pop it back to himself. I’ve seen them try to counter at times or pull the reserve shovel. What mean are they strictly going for clamps/plunger every single time. Don’t believe ever seen any of them ever try to rake or quick rake/sweep (as i call it). Sometimes being stronger on clamp can push it into guys stick enough to where they can get it out before cleanly get ball. Mostly saying don’t always have to go for clamp/plunger. Just trying to sweep ball out fast can do wonders. Mean i faceoff back in day n still at times when play now. Wasn’t as skilled as is now. But sometimes the old ways can still work specially with quick hands. Mean remember few guys went i would win clamp everytime but they could over power me when go to get it out. So would rake/sweep it out n use my speed to beat their muscle. Also wonder if have enough of ball n can get it out but going to try get it all n don’t always need it all. But as said hard to see exactly what is going on in full detail. Not even sure if jamming is still allowed or not. But mullen struggling is odd for how good he’s been. Grant remembered couple years ago he did have some bad games but we had kohn to go to. Angelo diff story. I’m sure he is working hard but also the fogo coach if wasn’t fogo may not be able to exactly tell how to help. Was kind nice when TD was here as feel he help phaup big time. Having a mind on hang from one very best to do it was great advantage. Who knows maby mullen worn down little or even hurt to point he can still play but not fully 100%. Which why really need a second serviceable backup. The 3rd guy olinck or whatever think only taken 1 faceoff in the st joes game. Maby give him a shot if things arnt going well even if just least a change up for opposing team. As said even jake has taken faceoffs in high school grant been while prob. But least he is fast enough n plays D if got beat could least maby slow down so not fast break. Faceoffs matchups can be strange sometimes guy ya think should crush is ur opponent or even from a team think has no business competing with ya. Can be the dude who just owns ya for some odd reason. Mean most elite guys can battle but sometimes dude just had ur number. But gotta figure it out have solid baxk up n last resort 50/50 battle n wings have to get the ball. Not sure what wings are doing wrong beside just missing the pickup or trying to one hand it instead running through it butt low n buttend of stick waist or little lower then waist (depend on height guess). Also once guy gets front of you your pretty much toast from getting ball. Seems other teams locate ball faster then us when pops out. Or we try to pick it up in traffic while they’re just waiting to knock it out. Why say kick it or push it to space first specially if can out run them to ball. But also as someone said you gotta want the ball n be animal in there also. Not loose cannon or stupid. Can’t just push dudes from baxk or run into baxk of them. But aggressive n enforce painful punishment to whoever tries to get that ball. If dudes facing ur way trying to pick it up run him the hell over. Don’t even worry bout ball just truck his a$$( long as it’s in front n don’t come with cross check or hit head). [/QUOTE]
