Attention to Detail
For the second time in two days, despite out shooting and out chancing their opponent, lack of “Attention to Detail” cost the Lady’s another two weekend points.
In their second of four regular season meetings, the Lady’s travelled to Hespeler to take on the Roadrunners. After a slow start in the first, the Lady’s settled in and capitalized on their first PP opportunity of the game. Despite heavily out shooting the Roadrunners in the second, another lapse of on ice awareness saw a terrible player change that lead to a Cambridge breakaway to tie things up heading into the break. Just over a minute into the third, another momentary lack of attention to detail (what is the primary responsibility of the center in our DZFO) would give the Roadrunners all they would need to secure the “W”.
With only nine shots against it’s hard to imagine not coming away with any points. However, when you continue to make the same mistakes (on ice awareness is so important) good teams will make you pay. The good news is, this wasn’t a game that you had to win. BUT, you really must start to challenge yourselves every single shift in paying attention to the details. Losing these games (that you should be winning) in February will be detrimental.
