Yup. My only problem with it is that there's still people reacting with the jaw drop emoji and getting all fake-astonished. We've all seen 8 year old kids pull the move. It's neither uncommon or amazing anymore.

poor goalie

had no idea what happened

I think anything reasonable that forces goalies to adapt and dmen to move will increase offense and thus be good for the game.

nit trying to cheapen it either because obviously it’s impressive at the nhl level but I think people are
Overestimating they general difficulty of the move, almost any player of even moderate/high skill can do this move at a good enough level to score. I practically guarantee 99% of NHLers have zero problem pulling it off.

I agree that all could pull it off just messing around on the ice, but pulling it off under the pressure and speed of a game is entirely different. I would think the % of NHLers who could actually pull it off in a game is considerably smaller.

Well shit, thanks for making me feel like shit lmao, I remember trying to do this back in 93-94-95......though....I am/was a goalie lmao

Doing the move isn't the issue, its doing it and not getting killed......these days easier, but still...awareness matters

i'd think it's less pressure of the game, more of the "am i going to get benched or crosschecked in the teeth for this" deterrent

agree with that I guess I’m just saying it’s not SO radical that torts should be having a coronary about it

It really on works when the goalie doesn't know where the puck is and neither do the defenders. It's a fancier wraparound goal.

I always wonder if you do a lacrosse type goal, and hit the goalie in the mask while doing it, are you getting a penalty and does the goal not count?

As a broken down old defenseman, if somebody ever tried The Michigan on my goalie, it would cost him some teeth.

But kids today...
