Temat: Senior Canada National Team

Clickable: ppm.powerplaymanager.com/...

To me, it seems good, but slightly double edged also. Obviously, playing 3 lines is problematic for energy conservation, but in the finalsit doesnt matter too much. However, playing very high with only 3 lines may make your players play worse towards the end of the game. I noticed that quite often i would win games late by having more well rested players rather than playing my better but more tired personnel. I guess it mostly depends on the level of depth on your team. In my case though, i often got better performances by playing 4 lines (and adapting mid game if needed) rather than playing all game with reduced lines.

yeah, my thinking too. but with national teams, esp from the BIG nations, the differences between your top 15 and top 20 guys must be pretty small. yet all 6 gm's went 3 lines for all 3 periods. makes me wonder if some people know something i dont...

The decision process canA3:E25 be a complicated one based on known and
unknown variables for each team. The object is to gain a tactical
advantage that will improve your chances of winning.
Whose team has more/less energy?
Whose team has higher OR?
Are there significant differences between lines on your team or his or
between your team and his?
What is the opposing team likely to do in terms of lines and ice time
for each line?
Is it better to come out strong with 3 lines and go to 4 at some point,
or start with 4 and come on strong in the 3rd period?
Has he set a pattern that I can take advantage of?
Who will be winning at the end of the first, the second period, and how
will I adjust to each possibility?
Does he do things differently at home than away?
What does this GM do with his regular team?
The questions are almost endless, so it depends how much time you
want to devote to researching the other team.
At the international playoff level, there is usually no obvious
advantage available.
All you can do is study the opposition to find patterns or tendencies
that will help you determine how you might best gain some The decision process canA3:E25 be a complicated one based on known and

advantage for your team.

Somewhere in there is a message. Really wish I knew how to use the edit button in this forum.

I really want to know what A3:E25 is

It is the key to decoding "the decision process" and involves complicated formulae well above the understanding of the average Mensa candidate.

Some things bear repeating.
In reality, I'm in the smoking lounge (garage) where reception is tenuous at best, and often I cannot tell if I've already successfully sent something.

Whoa...I just had my head in the drinking lounge (liquor cabinet) and I thought it was just double vision on that one...Man, if all the questions I asked got that kind of response I would ask a lot more!

I smell covfefe.

I thought it was wake up and shmell the rowses......then go for covfefe.

hehe, joking aside, this answer was really good. I am taking notes as to what being a top GM is. I do try to research my opponents trends for important games, but I mostly look only at tactics. Lesson learned, captain!

Hey, has anyone else looked at the rankings yet this year? We're ranked FOURTH! Damn!

Yeah, I saw that. Hopong to improve on it with another good showing. But what I REALLY want is a some hardware to put in our dusty showcase !!
