Whazzie:

No, no, that is his problem, not his solution  -- he thinks, too much, out there. He has to learn how to focus instinctively and then allow himself to be absorbed by the flow of the moment. In-other-words  he needs to take in the whole game. When he misses passes or puts the wrong timing on the puck, or zigs when he should zag, he is out of step with the other players -- it is all about game instincts. If he were more focused, with all that natural talent, he could be more effective. His biggest problem is that he tries to do too much or forces himself into creating  too many additional moves or plays that are not necessary. This is caused by being out of touch on, the flow and rhythm of any given play. But hey, if your Buds keep playing like this, they might be able to carry him along and they'll be just fine. You should be very proud of this group;  not great right now, but they'll get there --  if they can keep this up. Good luck in the next one.
