I do have another question. On FHM3, I used "Firewagon" as my offensive tactic and had great success with it. Now, things are more complex and I'm not sure how to replicate that.
I'm doing a historical game starting in 1995 with Vancouver and this style fits them perfectly. Now in my second season, I'm first in the league in Getting Open, Passing, Puck Handling and Offensive Read, but down a ways in Checking and other physical categories, so I would assume an open, attacking system would be best.
In season 1, I spent considerable time tweaking the tactical settings to levels fit the team best - if it said it was good for wingers with good checking skills, I looked for something else (I have Bure, Mogilny, Naslund and R. Courtnall as my top wingers). But as soon as I switched to that from what the assistant picked, I completely tanked and I'm still having trouble scoring consistently despite the skill players at my disposal.
Tactical settings I picked:
So my question is: what should I be doing to utilize this style? I want to be able to attack with my speed and skill, knowing that I might lose a few games 6-5 along the way.

+ Attacking and less Aggressiveness doesn't make a lot of sense for where you're going. Typically those should be minor tweaks anyway and letting your players play to their tactic will be helpful. However with the information you've provided it's tough to know exactly why you may be not getting your desired results. What's the GR telling you? Or even the advanced stats?
How are you losing games? Are you falling apart in the 3rd? Weak defensively? Giving up too much special teams? etc. Those are key things to know when looking at tactics.
