what we need to do better

I just watched my recording from our semi final again. I think the chief reason for us losing were:

- no coordination - bad grind; they were always faster rsp. we split too late - no team leader to change strategy on the fly (no one thought of a tactic to permit efficient attack and could cause that to happen) - relieving a good goalie by a less good one when the _offense_ does not work - stopping offense (that never works imho. but we could only have stopped taking risks in the offense and tried to split earlier to counter their speed advantage)

Lessons

  • We should practice before the tourney.
  • We should assign responsibilities (offense coordinator, defense coordinator) prior to the match and not change them during it. (the executing person can change, of course).
  • We should agree on tactical matters such as the function of a sweeper. There are two variants:
    1. the sweeper must keep attackers away from the goalie. Only after he is dead can they get through
    2. the sweeper should delay attackers until the goalie has set up, let them through in small doses, and squezze them against the goalie's wall to kill them (and be prepared to take half the zone if the goalie is cut)
  • in my opinion, 2. is much better, as the attackers have to deal with two of us at once instead of one at a time.
