Insert joke here about adding points to Passing as that attribute doesn't really exist in STHS and I'm a pass-first playmaker role...

But as the playmaker I think the new stat worth talking about in FHM is the Offensive Read attribute. Clearly I don't have much experience with FHM so don't really know how this will play into it, but assuming it's a worthwhile attribute I can see myself putting quite a bit of TPE into it. In order to get the puck down the ice, and hopefully into the net, requires more than just puck skill - it requires you to be able to see what's going on with the other team and make moves to defeat them. Whether that's a man out of position, a team cheating to one side, or any other advantage, you must be able to play the mental game and exploit their weaknesses.

This will go hand-in-hand with defensive reads as well as they are going to be trying to anticipate the offensive moves being made. I think this additional factor is going to add a significant amount of interesting data and I look forward to some dirty dangles in the future.
