Best way to get your opponent off their game is to really focus in practice, try to get better for an extended period of time and you will impress yourself. Don’t let the chirps of your own teammates and “friends” get ya down, they’re not gonna like seeing someone excel better than they are sometimes, and they may not understand why you try like you do, because they do not have the same goals, or haven’t thought it out. Growing up, you guys are gifted this opportunity to have ice time, equipment bought for you usually, and most don’t have to work a job, which trust me, is more draining than school most of the time. Keep your head on straight, work hard, be consistent, and be respectful. It’ll go a long way for ice time, point totals, and coaches will notice with time, and you may even earn a C or A based on what you’ve put in and what you get out. It is a great feeling when someone recognizes your hard work, but it takes what I said, hard work, time, and respect. All the best guys. I really hope you decide to take advantage of what’s in front of you.. many do not. Most what separates nhl players from the rest of us is just what I said. When you become 23-25 you will have the body, it will come with that hard work and time, patience is key, enjoy your time, but please do not take it for granted. You could help many people in the future by putting in effort while you’re young and healthy. If you can afford a nutritionist for a week to learn from, and even a personal trainer for cardio and strength purposes, I suggest it. If you cannot, I’d happily help with nutrition as this part can make a huge difference.

Way back there was a rule that a goalie would get a two-minute penalty for leaving his feet to make a save. Eventually one of the owners realized what a dumb rule that was, and argued to repeal it. Some of the other owners asked what he was proposing as a replacement rule. Could a goalie go down to his knees but not put weight on his hands? What would be the new limit? The first owner answered off-the-cuff "He can stand on his head for all I care". With that he simultaneously won the argument, and created a new hockey phrase.

Loved this video, Shannon! Great explanation for newbies like myself. Finally understand some of them thanks to you! 😁 Some of my favorites: -“Split the D/Defense”: When an offensive player breaks through the opposing team’s defensive pair, between them, as the phrase suggests. -One-timer: From Purehockey’s blog on the kind of shot, “[when] a player shoots the puck (usually it’s a slapshot) without first controlling it on their stick blade [‘stickhandling’].” Beautiful way for a player to score a goal. Very surgical. -Michigan/“lacrosse” goal: The dirtiest of ways to score a goal! Player scoops up the puck onto the blade of their stick (usually from behind the net or red goal line) and attempts to shovel it into the net, typically over the shoulder of the goaltender. Andrei Svechnikov of the Carolina Hurricanes… 😑 He’s got a good one. -Silky mitts: See Professor Shannon’s definition for “soft hands.” (22:09) -Last but not least, “Bread Man”: Artemi Panarin (#10), currently LW (left winger) for the New York Rangers. Impossible to hate. Almost took a ref’s head off during a “celly,” or post-goal celebration, back in 2020.

Deflection: The puck hits a player, or the player's stick on its way to the net. May or may not result in a goal. Sometimes used interchangeably with tip. Tip (to me) is a more specific kind of deflection, where a player specifically makes an effort to hit the puck in mid air with their stick, usually with the blade.

Deflection - redirecting a shot, mostly a slapshot, into the net while screening the goalie. Screening - blocking the view of the goalie by standing tall in front of him.

"Dirty areas" - offensive players often have to (largely figuratively) fight to get to the area in front of the goalie in order to screen the goalie or deflect the puck. "Bad goalie" - an alternate name for screening, where you're trying to block the goalie's view while also trying to allow the puck a clear path into the net.

Thank you! A lot of these terms I didn’t know and as a somewhat new fan since 2016/2017 these are great.

It's simple: if it weren't for new fans, eventually nobody would be watching hockey, and we can't have THAT.

Lacrosse goal : getting a goal by putting the puck on the stick and elevate it above the goalie's shoulder. Hard to do but Evgeny Svechnikov of the Carolina Hurricanes is pretty good for doing this. Spin-o-rama : when a player does a 360° with the puck

You skipped SHG, PPG, GWG. I'm guessing Single handed, power play and game winning Goal.

Ngl I've been a mega hockey fan for the past 10+ years and some of this stuff I've never understood until this video. Like I've heard the terminology being used before but never understood what it meant until now. Thanks for teaching me something new!

Shannon tells a story of how Tikkanen talked to Gretzky to annoy him, me as a person who likes to annoy the other team by saying weird things; Write that down! Write that down! My dad and I use a few different phrases: 1) The box is when the attacking team is set up in the zone and everyone is in the positions they need to be in. This allows for the team to quickly and (usually) easily pass the puck to a teammate. We use this term a lot on the powerplay since it is the easiest time to see it. 2) The domestique is from road cycling, but works really well when describing some players. A domestique is a rider who doesn't try to win the race but works so their team and leader can. When applied to hockey, they are the ones who set up the play and don't necessarily get the goals.

One-timer: Shooting the puck while it's moving (from a pass) as opposed to stopping the puck from moving with the stick, then winding up and shooting

Ankle break or ankle breaker - The player who's handling the puck makes a sudden and unexpected turn that makes a defending player lose balance when trying to follow the move.

Pinching in or pinching in deep. That's used alot. Where a defenseman is moving forward along the boards keeping the puck in the offensive zone

slap shot= "clapper", also the forward who doesn't play ends up between the fowards and d-men on the bench and gets called the "grocery stick".

Anyone commented "one-timer" yet? Basically it's a snapshot or slapshot right off a pass from a teammate.
