Toe drag isn't as effective any more as of the November(?) patch. It still works pretty well if you are going across the crease (from one side to the other) but not as good if you just stick to one side. I recommend the stride deke, which isn't in the video as another maneuver if you need it. Simply start on your forehand side and do the same motion as a toedrag but in the opposite direction across the crease and you should get a good amount of goals there too! That has been my go-to move recently.
I'm on the Xbox, my gamertag is Brianstormed. I don't play random friendly matches against viewers, though. I've done it in the past on Twitch and it gets overwhelming when many people ask to play you haha. Maybe in the future I'll have a dedicated community game night where I play with viewers so that it is all at once.
Great video, I've always been in the top 1000 for online versus but have always been a tad shaky on breakaways, I feel like this could take me to the next level.
The Canadian Kid nice! I actually finished 6th but top 6 doesn't sound as good lol. probably could've gotten higher but there were just too many games separating me from top 5.
The stride deke starts with the right stick on the backhand, and then you move downward toward the forehand. Your player will do a little "mopping" motion while moving towards his forehand and if its on a breakaway you can just take a shot for an empty net. I have a video on dekes that shows you how to perform them and I mention that the stride deke was a good move to score on a breakaway so you should be able to see first hand experience on that.

New sub! This will probably help me out a lot!
Woooooooo! Plenty more videos about scoring and playing NHL where that came from ;)
whats the learning curve on this? Do you remember? I only get a toe drag like 4 outta 10 times and it only goes in like once. Help!

Thanks. You should make a video breaking it down. People online seem to know how to score every damn time on a break away

That's a weak excuse lol. You have a measly 650 viewers. I just past by after watching bacon an figured I ask? Lmk when you wanna take that L😉
That was a weak response after a month of trying to figure out what to say :b
That dosent make sense? But ok.
dang, really need to master that backhand-forehand-backhand now that i switched to using off-wingers.
trustparadox I believe in you! it's easy and effective. it'll make your life much easier :)
Dude thanks for this! Crazy how much this helped me.
No problem, glad it could help! Some of my other videos can also help with scoring!

Yeah breakaways are a must if you want to climb the leaderboards even higher, otherwise its just wasted opportunities.
+Brianstormed ha I'm better top 5
The Canadian Kid nice! I actually finished 6th but top 6 doesn't sound as good lol. probably could've gotten higher but there were just too many games separating me from top 5.
+Brianstormed oh ya lol ur still probs better then me
We need a video “how to score in NHL 18”, I have played 4 games in HUT and I only scored 6 goals..
Easiest is stride deke.
Yeah that has become my favorite since I made the video, I didn't know about it earlier in the year.
Brianstormed same. I didn't really know about until I randomly did it. One of my favourite dekes now.
How do u perform them? New to NHl and struggling to score :/
