The player is right in front of you when you reach out with your stick in an attempt to make it look like you are doing a legal poke check.
Your stick is close to the puck when you jerk it back, tripping the opponent who falls on the ice and loses control of the puck.
Your goalie is able to corral the puck with ease as a whistle is blown.
You are heading to the box for a tripping minor, but at least you managed to keep a breakaway from happening the third period.
It was a crude move but effective.
You are watching the play from the box now.
The other team wins the faceoff and quickly manages to set up a solid offense that has your team in shambles.
You watch as they make your team look like a bunch of amateurs, and before you know it the puck lands on a players stick who shoots the puck right into the open net on a backdoor.
Even though you managed to stop the breakaway, they other team still managed to score on the resulting power play.
