mxihockey 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 Is it ok to throw your glove to distract the goalies attention and then shoot on a breakaway/penalty shot? I saw this in a video and it looks like it might work pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz_LightBeer 972 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 and if you miss on the breakaway? do you throw the other glove and try again? when do we start throwing helmets and jocks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 I've done it a couple times before, but never in a game. For one youll look like the biggest douche in the league, especially if you miss like Buzz said. Also I think its against the rules to intentionally loose your equiptment.Ive done it in practice though. Coach didnt like it cause it was our first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this in a video and it looks like it might work pretty good.A guy did it one night in pick up. I doubt it's illegal...but, as stated...you run the risk of looking like a dick.Some moves are left for practice/pick up and drop in.That's one of them.

kosydar 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 I could see it being a penalty, or at the very least, a forfeiture of the penalty shot. I'll have to look that one up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt it's illegal...but, as stated...you run the risk of looking like a dick.Some moves are left for practice/pick up and drop in.That's one of them.I think I orignally posted this back on CB when I saw it the first time. A bunch of kids (14-16) were doing this one night at open hockey, 10-12 times in one night. Finally I was defending against a one on one and when I saw the kid take his hand off the stick, I knew what was coming. When he threw the glove, I followed the glove as if I was buying the fake. Then I picked up the glove and tossed it over the glass onto the concrete outside the rink. When the session was over his father came into the locker room and started yelling at me. I waited for him to pause and explained to him that I just taught his kid a lesson and he should be glad that I didn't choose to teach him the lesson by breaking his bare hand with a slash. As for it being against the rules, a good ref can justify anything and I believe there are a couple of things that could be used against you. I'll double check when I get a chance.

I'll double check when I get a chance.I remember reading that here, I think you posted that in one of the Stickhandling video threads.As for actually doing that, you really have to draw the line between fun hotdogging and hot-shot hotdogging. I can only imagine how big of a dolt someone would look if he did that move and failed all while wearing a mirrored visor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 NHL rules don't specifically state anything about an attacking player throwing items, though there are clearly defined rules about defending players throwing sticks/gear etc.i'm sure you could be issued an unsportsmanlike conduct if the ref felt like it.

Storm 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 Instructional videos on scoring moves are staged.I could understand how that move might seem appealing because of its simplicity but I doubt it would work unless the goalie would start laughing in disbelief at what he was seeing.

prenny207 1 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 this is a very old move and 9 out of 10 times it doesnt effect the goalie one bit... for wex, you throw the glove straight up in the air hoping the goalie will watch the glove no you. one of the oldest in the book and cheezy... good for goofing off in practice, but you look like a douchebag trying it in a game, especially if you miss!!!

usahockey22 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 If you really have no better ideas to score on a goalie than throwing your glove to distract him, then you probably don't have any chance to score no matter what you do...so at least don't make yourself look like a fool as well as a bad hockey player.
