When it comes to playing some of the best around the league you have to find ways to keep pace and shut them down. It is not always an easy task and it can be tricky to find out just how to slow them down then let alone stop them. The most important part to play with the best is the speed to keep up with them, if you get your doors blown off you never will even have the chance to force them wide and make an impact on the play. Once you can keep pace with some of the fastest in the league you can find away to play against anyone. The most important step is learning the timing, the timing to keep pace and drive that player wide and finish them with the perfectly placed poke check, or maybe even a perfect crushing hit that those opposing players will remember. You go out there and leaver your mark on the ice, and the other teams best players will soon learn.
