How am I missing an assist? If so, I know we aren't getting these in MI.

The only thing I can think of is that the inbound at 1:56 isn't actually the start of the cycle (it's the return of an out of bounds ball), and the 2nd assist is late coming to 1986. If not, we don't get these in MAR either.
I've watched teams not get credited with trapping assists when they hold their ball against the low
goal longer than the 1:09 trap while attempting to score. With rulings like that, why would anyone expect innovative teams to waste cycle time honing in on even more novel assist styles? It's not just the teams that are acting differently, it's disparate calls that are influencing behavior variations.
