HOCKEY PROMPT: Written edition.


There are trick plays like the link mentioned and then there are just skill plays. Skilled plays like the Michigan are not much different from a fast pass from Gretzky's office to the man in front, a deflection, or even a sharp angle snap shot because you notice the goalie has left a gap. Sure, it can be frustrating to have happen to you. But in the end its solid for the sport.

Hockey is an arms race between gritty, hard nosed, head down players, and skilled guys. Masterful maestros of puck handling. Playmakers who can orchestrate whole sections of the game, weaving goals and plays out of nothing in a display of pageantry that is awe inspiring. Each goal lifting butts out of seats in jubilation.

In the end, Trick plays in Hockey are largely different from other spots. Its more like trick shots in Billiards or Darts as opposed to plays like in Basketball, Football, Soccer, and Baseball.
