Besides not screening me with the confidence of a traffic cone. Should we chase behind the net, tie sticks, box out, or just avoid chaos?

Do not chase behind the net unless you have help. Beer league defense turns into interpretive dance fast.

Bad-pass drill: have your most chaotic friend feed you pucks. Every team has one.

Tuesday Woodbridge sounds perfect. Rusty winger and professional bench door opener here.

5/8 gave me a nice middle ground. More glide, less surprise cartwheel.
