    I've played without much coaching over the years and solely play D. As a fast skater in my beer league these last 2 years, I've been trying to figure out how to score or make good passes when I jump up and get 1-on-1 opportunities. This is a really great tutorial, can't wait to get back on the ice to try and practice these moves!

      Can we just stop to appreciate the fact that hockey leagues are back in action...???
      As down as Covid gets us (even now), we can at least go the arena once again, and believe (pretend?) that we're pretty good hockey players.

    In my opinion, it is never "easy" to beat a good defenseman...that being said, your techniques will tend to be your best tactics with the highest probabilities...however, a really talented defenseman in a 1-on-1 situation will ALWAYS focus on your chest and NEVER on the puck so his objective is to first give the opponent the outside lanes by the boards by skating backwards in the middle...that gives his goalie the best opportunity to play the angles...then, when the opponent chooses a side because he's forced to, the defenseman's job is to separate him from the puck...the defenseman completely forgets about the puck, ties up the opponent, and lets the goalie or a backchecker pick up the puck...I enjoyed playing defense for more than 20 years

      @Freddy Eriksson I think part of the reason you don't see guys commit to taking the body is because the skating these days is so elevated, guys are so agile and are doing incredible things on their edges that makes evasion more likely and a commitment to a hit more risky. With holds and stickwork being called much more now than in Scott Stevens' day, you're not going to be able to clutch & grab a guy if you step up on him and he slips off you. Statistically it is better to contain the player and reduce his options. There's a reason the pros play this way. That's my take, anyway.

    You are very fast. I noticed in these scenarios that the poke check is expected. If the defenseman is focusing on the puck rather then the body you are right you will beat him. Also a defenseman should always be moving and not be flat footed. A defenseman should be one of the smartest players due to the fact of so many calculations have to be made in micro seconds. I enjoyed this video. Hopefully some young defensemen watched as well to pick up on these moves.

    For all the young player out there... Notice how he keeps his legs moving. 9 time out of 10 the D-man will be coasting, so if you keep your legs moving and you really turn on the jets you will almost always beat the defensemen.

    What about getting the puck between the Dmans stick and skates. I found that easier and more successful than the last 2 options. Even if the Dman tries to body you, you're only a poke through or around the skates away from a separation if the Dman doesn't have you lined up in his chest. Tavares does that almost every game.

    As a forward, I'd always attack from the middle of the ice...when the situation allowed me to. That way, I could draw the defenseman with me to either side. Then I'd look to attack the net, or look for my trailer coming down the slot. He seems to attack from the wing, which makes him more predictable to an experienced defenseman.

  • @tektoneng
    @tektoneng 2 года назад +3

    Stick dekes, head fakes, etc…. Your center of gravity never lies. Any competent D-man watches your sternum and controls the angle… wide shots are very low probability shots and cutting back towards center ice sets up a stick sweep or body bump 😁

    Top hand should be up and back when you go to the forehand. The reason being you can pass or shoot out of the turn or escape. While tucking the hands under may yield a tighter turn, you're more susceptible to losing the puck, and if you don't you've got to make a move to get the hands free before you pass or shoot

    These are great moves to beat a forward in the neutral zone for sure, but a good defenseman will pay no attention to the puck and watch your chest and eyes. Keep you to the outside and play the angle. No check league makes defense a little more difficult since it takes a tool out of the toolbox.

  • @kokanee2010a
    @kokanee2010a 2 года назад +2

    going back to the basics , it is always going to be how well you skate . speed and agility counts so does body positioning a good defensemen will always make you commit first then they can put the body into the puck carrier eliminating him or seperating him from the puck . you have a tendency to drop your head too much so a good defenseman knows you are not looking for an option to pass the puck . he knows you are looking to get into a prime scoring area , again if he cant eliminate you from the puck he is going to make you go to the outsdie and if he is faster than you , you will end up eating the puck in the corner . When i was a kid our coach put our best skaters on defense that is when they decided to get me to put a 7 foot radius on my rocker to give me more agility . i can make up the speed with my foot speed , the longer the blade the less effort there is to create speed , the proof is in the blade length on speed skates . but you have no agility with them you have to do more cross overs with speed skates . in hockey there is no faster way to change directions than a toe loop . it is also good to teach defensemen that they have 3 blades to defend with on the ice . a good drill is to have them work the puck with their feet without the use of a stick . you wont be useless if your opponant ties up your stick since you can still move the puck with your feet like soccer . some players have all the tools but no tool box which is the reason that some say a person cant play the game properly because they cannot think the game .

    There’s no weight shifts in the opposite direction to get the defender to lean in the direction of the shift or move his stick. Looks good with a pair of pucks but your demonstration does not translate to game situations with a live defender. Nice rink though, that’s awesome.

      Exactly. As a defenseman, the people who got around me got me to bite, but then also really put on the jets and powered to one side, either for a pass to the slot, or if I fucked up bad enough, a move on the goalie. A move without speed is just an opportunity for me to poke check you or line you up for the body.
