Chasing Goals in the Beer League
I’m in this beer league, and last game I couldn’t buy a goal. Had a perfect setup in front of the net, but my deke got stuffed by the goalie’s poke check. Back in the day, I’d score in shinny games no problem, but now I’m blanked every match. It’s killing my vibe! What are some slick hockey scoring strategies to outsmart goalies? Tips on positioning, fakes, or quick releases would be clutch to light the lamp next game!
Haha I feel this big time — a few weeks ago I had a breakaway in my rec league, tried to pull a fancy backhand-forehand like the glory days, and the goalie read me like a kids’ book. Total momentum killer. What’s been working lately is keeping it unpredictable: small head fakes, quick hands, and releasing before the goalie fully sets. Positioning a bit off-center messes with their angles too. This article actually gave me some good ideas: hockey scoring strategies — might help you mix it up.
