You mentioned Makar can you do a video breakdown not just his individual skilll set but team work and hockey iq. I tell my kid how Makar is constantly baiting opponents. 5 steps ahead. Thank you your intuition and explanations are well thought out and articulated. Keep up the good work. Oh you forgot to mention the Moritz Seider option...step into checkers space beat him to the punch.
Great video! I like how you mentioned that it may be a safer option to turn your back to a player coming at you, but of course not when you’re along the boards. I think a good video idea could be situations when you would turn your back to protect the puck and make a play, overall great video!
Thanks for the insightful video. Not that I’m an expert, but something comes to mind in thinking about this question. It’s in regards to one v. one combat sports like boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, etc. in these sports, traditional training philosophy certainly does go into, how best to absorb a strike - one can try to roll off it, one can encourage strikes to areas less vital while protecting areas that are. But I don’t think in these sports anyone would instruct a young fighter to choose these types of tactics over the business of evading strikes altogether. In these sports, every landed blow causes some type of damage, and the fighters ability to last is directly correlated with accumulated damage sustained by that fighter. In hockey, the hit may be a secondary objective to the game, but you have to think that the same principle must apply. A D-man who swoops in for a hit on a rushing F, himself, sustains some damage if that F ducks beneath the force, and the D runs into boards instead of man. Not speculating how much damage - perhaps negligible amounts, but it’s still a case of having lost that particular battle. Would you agree?
Loved how Palat dodged that flying elbow cheap shot from Trouba.
