Edouard Lavoie has a few standard tricks he will use during games to try to get an edge against his opponents. The standard stick tap to ask for the puck on zone entry when the puck carrier can not see you is pretty normal, but effective. He has also worked on the "look off" where you look to a part of the ice pretending to either go there or pass there, before going and or passing in another direction. He has also worked hard at getting better at his situational awareness behind the net so he can bank shots off the goalie or pretend to bank shots off the goalie and feed an open teammate for an easy goal while the goalie is distracted from the fake bank shot. Ultimately, none of these are fool proof methods for tricking your opponents, so Edouard simply keeps working hard to be better than his opponents. It is the only way to reliably beat them, so that is always his goal.
