Written Task: The very next night, your player is visited by the ghost of Bobby Orr. This seems rather incongruous with your mite coach's cliches about "playing the right way", as Mr Orr was hardly the model of a bottom six energy grinder. Bobby doesn't seem too interested in telling you details of how to correct your game, instead talking about his exploits and reminiscing. You wake up wondering if you had an unusually awkward dream, but then realize you're holding an authentic Bobby Orr-autographed pharmacy receipt from last Tuesday. What lessons does your player think they're meant to learn from this encounter with history's greatest offensive defenseman? If you could ask one question of the 80s superstar, what would it be, and what do you suspect the answer would be?
Well considering Bobby Orr is considered to be the best offensive defensemen of all time I think I was meant to learn how to be a better offensive player. Considering my player really isn't known for his offensive production or a threat with the puck. Since I've been thinking about how to improve my offensive game so much lately that's the reason for Mr. Orr's apparent real appearance in my dream. My question would be how to really become a better offensive player. I don't really know what his response would be but if I had to guess it would be to get better at reading the game while in the offensive zone. Knowing when to pass and when to shoot with probably being the biggest part of it. Not only that but when to shoot wide to try and get a tip or make a play off the boards behind the net, or know how to correctly shoot through traffic and getting it passed the goalie and not just having the shot get blocked in front. |
