Trick plays are a part of every game and they deserve a lot of credit. If you think about it, trick plays either require a lot of "homework", meaning a lot of tries during practice so that the play gets perfect before being introduced on the ice in a competitive game, or it requires a certain player to have a lot of skill to be able to pull it off. And that skill is not only in a physical or technical way, but also mental, as you need to be really strong mentally if you are going to pull some trick play on game 7 of the playoffs.
But come on, who does not love a player tricking everyone by lifting the puck over the keeper, or a giant nutmeg on an opponent who then loses track of the puck and only sees it again on the back of the net?
Great players pull this off, and the crows certainly loves it.
