and that ' s BS . we don ' t have the same inventory as the entire rest of the world ? I was eyeing that 2 nd law hoodie but it ' s not sold in the US shop <| sep |> For new players , I ' ve found they are far less of a liability as a forward than they would be as a defenseman . A bad defenseman will cost you a lot of goals against , whereas a forward who doesn ' t score won ' t necessarily burn you if the other forwards can be gamebreakers . You can also get a third forward to focus on playing a more defensive game if they aren ' t comfortable scoring or reading and reacting to the quick turnovers . A winger who plays a hard backchecking role and looks to fling a pass up for quick breakouts for the goalscorer types can be an easy role to start with while you figure out offense .
