Catching and Controlling Passes - McMann



One part of our team's game that I think we are lacking in is the accuracy of our passes along with our ability to catch passes that are inaccurate or put in hard places to catch. Throughout the whole game Friday against Benet, they would make long cross ice passes right on the tape, which were the cause of the numerous odd man rushes they had. That is why they played so much better in the neutral zone than we did. It is also why we struggle sometimes breaking out and keeping control of the puck. Our goal right now is to get the puck in the vicinity of the man we are passing too when in actuality we should be aiming for their stick. Although we have worked on it briefly in practice, I believe that we should work on stopping pucks with are skates or being more flexible with our stick. Attached is a video Sydney Crosby showing off his ability to catch passes that are inaccurate.
