TACTICAL SETUP
As I mentioned in the opening, I want to play a slick passing offensive game. I believe that's reflected in my tactical setup, but having never played FHM I may have to do some trial and error.
I want to take advantage of our strong playmakers at center, like Mike Rogers, Dave Keon, and the future Ron Francis. Therefore I'll be funneling play through the center of the ice, setting up a triangle offense, and playing from behind the net on the power play. All of these strategies favour good playmakers in the middle. The triangle offense also takes advantage of a quarterback on the point (Mark Howe), and a strong overall passing game.
On defense I want to play strict zonal, with limited aggression. I really hate penalties and want to be on the PP far more than on the PK. We'll try to overcome the lack of aggression by being strong positionally and getting a great goaltender. I plan on trading for Mike Liut for the 80s, and Sean Burke for the 90s. As it should be in Hartford.
