You approach the goalie with skaters right behind you. This is you last chance at getting a goal for this game. The clock is winding down with just 50 seconds left to go.

You stare the goalie right in the eye as you size up in your head what the available options are.

You are already committed to taking this puck to your back hand and trying to cheese in a goal some how.

But the question is how are you going to do it?

The goalie is positioned just slightly off to the right leaving ample space on the left side of the goal if you are quick enough to get a shot off with accuracy.

With a flick of your wrist to the backside do you want to shoot towards his glove and hope your misdirection thrown him off balance

Or

Try and be smooth and shoot the puck at that exposed left side with your weak backhand
