Something I have always wanted as a player is blazing speed. Being able to stand behind my own net and the other team is scared of what happens when I get going full speed. It is not just blazing speed, it is the ability to get up to speed quickly. Being able to be full speed by the tops of my own circles and then using that to carry the puck through the neutral zone and drive wide around opposing defenders and just making them look like they were standing still. I have always thought that skill is such a game breaker because while they are focusing on me, my teammates would easily be able to find the open lanes for an easy tap in goal. On top of that, being a defenseman allows me the opportunity to find three forwards on the ice who are all ready and looking to put the puck in the back of the net.
