    I’d like to see a big goalie like Steward Skinner just lay across the goal line and see if he can stop the puck with his stick halfway up covering the space between him and the crossbar. Now that would be worth calling disrespectful.

    Turning back like that tends to make it easier on the Goalie… You end up pigeon-holing yourself into a backhand or a difficult maneuver back to the forehand close to the goalie, at which point a different deke would be more successful anyways

    I've thought of this move before. You can generate a lot of power on the backhand and it can be hard to see where it's going…the only downside might be you don't know where it's going either.

    If I was a goalie, i would start out of the crease and then extend the goalie stick fully out as the player starts so that the player’s only real option will be to deke unless they are willing to take a backhanded shot from further out which I doubt.

    Any goalie will tell you that it's tough to get a read on the direction of the puck as it comes off the back of a stick. Your brain picks up on subconscious cues and subtleties, the blade of stick is one of them. I think that gives a shooter a potential advantage when the goalie doesn't know where it's going, and sometimes- even the shooter isn't entirely sure either.

    The idea behind the move is that you have a better shot on the forehand than the backhand. So faking backhand and switching wide to the forehand is a real threat that the goalie has to be considering. Goalies will sometimes leave the backhand side a bit more open to compensate for the anticipated quick shift to the forehand. A bonus is that if the goalie leaves the 5-hole open in order to slide across to the forehand shot, you can slip it between the legs, too. There are a lot of options; it is a very difficult move to defend, when done well.

    I love the Kucherov no shot goal too. One of my favorites.

    The Gagner is super underrated too. What a great movie he had.

    lol, hockey has such a funny culture. It's disrespectful to score in a flashy or deceptive way, but it's just part of the game when someone chops at your ankles or gives you a crosscheck to the face after scoring a goal when the play is over.

    I've used this move for decades. TBH I never understood why more people don't use it. Goalies rarely know how to react to backhand shots.

    U can’t skate backwards anymore in a shootout or penalty shot (in the NHL), so I don’t think we’ll be seeing it in the NHL anytime soon.

    Ummmmmm… Hockey Psychologist…. just asking yourself and any others… the psychology behind this manouvre, basically, is to a/ confuse the goalie who has never before faced this attack angle – for a moment (while the goalie's mind is trying to process this unorthodox method)… messing with their timing, rhythm, and confidence… then tuck it away in the opening? and/or b/ confuse an experienced goalie with a tad bit of fear, now knowing the goalie has multiple tasks to focus on, throwing off timing, rhythm, and confidence and as a side effect ~ hoping they don't appear on a YouTube reel being undressed and "m-bare-assed" for all to see?
