I like having the point as all D-Men. I want the forwards down low where their skills can be utilized, particularly the good cross ice passes like we saw from Semin there. I also like the D-men on the blue line for potential odd-man rushes going the other way.

yep, agree all around. 5 on 3 is a different story though.

Sure, and I don't mind things changing up now and then...I mean sometimes positions get jumbled on the cycle; but the base should be D-Men on the blue line, imo.

Even with the Umbrella, with basically 1 point man, 2 at around the circles and 2 in front, having 2 D-men makes it less likely that OV is the only one back, ya know?

I made this name on espn shortly after my father died back in 2000. He was a RIO (backseater) in the F4 Phantom in Vietnam back in the day, and his callsign was "Apache". So I made the name apachef4. I wanted apache154 (his squadron was VF-154), but that was taken, oddly enough.

That's a really cool story actually.

Thanks. It's funny, I only did it that way because I couldn't think of anything to use as a screen name at the time. I was in the Army then, so the only email I had was from the military. I wanted to play fantasy baseball, so I needed to log in to espn, and that was the only thing that came to mind.
