Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 654976, member: 266"] 1.) Ground balls - this team was excellent at using their collective heads. They clearly had the most heart given the number of comebacks & 1 goal games. I hope they improve the final H because they were out ground-balled most of the year. 2.) Riding - a staple of the program used to be our relentless pressure via the ride. Our attack in particular was slow at riding and teams seemed to clear the ball easier than us. 3.) Doubling the ball - too many times our D slid early or doubled the ball when the offensive player was looking straight at the oncoming defensive player. It ends up creating offense for the opposition and leading to scoring chances/goals. Everyone can complain about face offs but I think eventually rule changes will make face offs as important as the jump ball in the NBA. [/QUOTE]
