Would you rather...

[Hookem]

Score at goal or dish out an assist?

For me personally, I'd rather dish out assits. I don't know why, I am a good shooter but I would just rather assist...

How about you guys?

[LaxBoy92]

I love the glory of scoring. That's one reason I love to play attack.

[Mrmccoolsatool]

Ya i gotta say i like getting the goal instead of assisting, but i know when to dish it off and it still feels good to get assists.

[WoodDuck14]

both are teh shiz, but scoring is a little better

[Live4It]

You'd get more reconigition(sp?) for scoreing, but if can't score assists are good too.

[fossil8412]

I like assists more. It takes more skill to find the open man and get off agood pass than too just shoot it.

Depends what kind of goalie/defense you are playing against. I prefer what wins the game, whether it be an assist or a goal.

[nemesis562]

I like assists more. It takes more skill to find the open man and get off agood pass than too just shoot it.

gonna have to disagree with that one.

[Project X]

I personally would like to score more than I would like to get an assist, but I play D.

[TRELAX1201]

Scoring gives you a great feeling inside, but how could you score if you didnt get a great pass from an assistmen (unless its unassist, which is rare in a good offense, except for fast breaks) Overall, I rather score, although att he end of the seaosn, I always wind up with more assist than goals

[JedimasterKyle]

Scoring is the best feeling in the world, but if I couldn't shoot and could assist, that would feel almost as good.

[Orange]

I'm definitely leaning more toward assist but they get pretty much no recognition, especially at the high school level.

[atacklax]

Assists are cool becuase you know that you're part of an awesome team, but goals are just too darn fun.

[trentstaaa24]

I love the glory of scoring. That's one reason I love to play attack.

what are you talking about attack are like feedmen theats why there usually the best passers

[pINK fLOYD]

Well right now im liking assists alot better than goals, because im actually on pace for the single season assist record. I ussually like the assist better anyways, because it means you can share the ball.

[Bobsch]

Assist. I'm a defenseman, but actually had more goals than assists, but I still like assists more.

[tiplax]

for me it all depends. i would take the really nice shot/goal over the really nice assist anyday. i play defense so i guess i would rather dodge like 5 guys and score than dodge 5 guys and get an assist

[SachemsGoalie40]

i'd like to score again (did it once as a goalie and like 3-5 times as a middie) but assists are cool too, i've got 4 of those as a goalie....nothing like throwing a bomb that is dead on to an attackman and watching them score

[Kegger]

I would rather win!

[faceitoff]

Depends on how slick the pass was. If it's like through a whole jungle of poles and lands perfectly in the dude's stick, then I'd rather have that.

[MeRattack]

even though my name counters it, im a f/o middie and i def love scoring more than assisiting

[swordsman]

If you shoot for a goal and miss you suck. If you pass and that guy misses he sucks.

[ticlax9]

Even though they should, no one ever pays attention to the person who assited the goal. It's just the guy who actually put the ball in the net. I like the attention.

:agree:

[Eclipse]

Anyone can catch a ball a foot from the goal and put it in. Ussually the guy who gets the assist does more work because they are creating the offense, making things happen. I would rather walk away from a game with 2G and 4A then 4G and 2A.

[stegmakk]

Im gonna be honest...playing LSM...Id rather nail a goal than assist...
Sure I want to help the team, and as a LSM i shouldnt be shooting a hell of alot, i should be bringing it down and passing it off...

but really...seeing a pole score is SOOOO much more exciting than watching them assist...

[BTlaxripper]

They both offer various forms of satisfaction. . .

Yeah slamming the ball through the net is great, but threading the ball through 3 long sticks to get the quick stick to the open man feels great too.

Either one it doesn't matter.

[Laxattack05]

Yeah. I defintly like scoring more. i mean i like assisting, but most of the time i have to go check how many assists i have after the game is over. with a goal, you remember how many times the goalie stepped to only watch the ball whizz past him into the goal. nothing like watching the ball hit the net. great feeling.

[marflax33]

Pshh i could care less. If its helping my team out, than i dont care which it is. I would always prefer a nice goal though, but an assist is just as good.

[Laxin2266]

i like them both, but that cross field studly assist is an awesome feeling. Some coaches prefer passers over scorers

[WHEELAX2]

if you look at the JHU semi finals last year when Benson Erwin scored the game winning goal, look who the rest of the team ran to; the goal scorer, not the guy dishing out the assist..

[Torque42]

i would like the assist because i have 12 goals in 5 games and i want more assistes

[Canada_Lax]

i like both. id love to feed a beautiful pass to someone through longpoles, but i also dream of scoring a winning goal with time running out
