Sounds like a good plan, B72. If the system works out well, we can just rotate the balanced one between the three of us every game :thup:

We might find that one of us has abilities that make us better at playing from a balanced approach than others. It's all a learning experience!

That's why I'm a balanced keeper, when every team-mate is trying to tackle our opponents apart I will stand there and save us, like the great saviour I am. :-D 8-)

Wouldn't it better for you as the goalie to be conservative if every other member of your team is going all out aggressive?

A nice start for the Nordiques :cool: B72 managed just as many goals as the rest of us even though he was only playing 'Balanced'. I'll go Balanced this time around and B72 and Loosie can go Aggressive - if you guys both agree then we'll stick with the system.

GO QUEBEC GO! :joy:

Our little system appears to have worked this time. Let's see if it works again. I'm willing to switch it up and go Aggressive while you go Balanced, Archi. We'll see how it turns out.

WE lead the +/- 8-) But as long as we are on the same team it´s fine for me to be number 2 behind you :-D

Bah! IF my goalie/captain learns how to stop a freaking puck before Game 2...noone will top our high flying offense for Goals, assists, plus minus or anything! :-p


Dear Joehelmer..do something to help you stop the puck..you know like conservative or something. I dunno. Just stop the dang puck.
