Allsmokenopancake 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2006 I still don't get those things on the jersey that look like lights on em'... Its the new reebok practice jerseys. They dont look like that in person. There is like a silver piping on the side, but with the flash of the camera and the lighting, they look like reflector strips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cause4alarm 7 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 FlyChicaga, I'm having a hard time picturing what you're talking about with the neutral stick position and what not. Help me out here, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyChicaga 21 Report post Posted March 29, 2006 Basically, a lot of players when they are planning on shooting high will bend their stick blade forward, cupping the puck in preparation to wrist the shot high. When planning on shooting low, the player will not cup the puck so much, and will have a more flat or bent back blade angle to roll the shot off low and fast. Here, let me try and show you, sort of:o = puck, \ = blade angle looking at side, <-- direction of shotHigh shot: o\ <--Lower shot: o| or o/ <--Try this: When you are skating next, skate towards the side boards with the puck. For the first few times, shoot towards the glass. Then shoot towards the glass like you just did the previous dozen shots and think about your stick blade position. Then do the same, trying to hit the colored bottom of the boards, fast and quick. Same thing, dozen shots, then the last one think about where your stick position is. You'll see they are different... most good goalies will look at your blade then your eyes to see where the shot is most likely going to go. Just some things I was taught from an ex-pro goalie, because I couldn't beat him for the life of me. He gave me this tip, and he says I'm more "unreadable."

SB39 2 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 It works for the same reason almost any other move of his will work; because he has the weapons to threaten you (the defender) with whatever course of action he chooses. Why do his fake shots work? Because he can also skate around and through you. Why does his puck drag tweeners work? Because he could also stop on a dime and dish or shoot and threaten either way. It's his overall game that aids every componant part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
