Vancouver Canucks Frontal Cross

Key Points:

1.  Do not start cross before puck carrier enters zone.

• Starting the cross early leads to off sides

2.  One player per lane.

• This makes it harder for the defenders to read the play.

3.  Proper spacing forces the defenders to choose a man.

New York Rangers Quick Transition - Mats Zuccarello Saving Ice

Boston Bruins Game Winning Goal Overtime - Make the Easy Pass; Shoot on Hard Pass

• Move bottom  hands down on stick
• Put your body weight on stick

Note:  In the picture above you can see the hand position; sticks on the ice; body weight on stick. 

Three Mistakes By New York Rangers

Playing Rule:

• Make the Easy Pass; Shoot on Hard Pass

Tactics:

Zdeno Chara

Position: D ▪ Shoots: Left 

Height: 6-9 ▪ Weight: 255 lbs.

Chara has a big reach, it is key you read his stick when making cross ice passes. "He's a tough guy to play against, but at the end of the day, we didn't get the job done," Nash said of Chara on Friday. Nash comment is in reference to the turnover by the Rangers, that lead up to the overtime goal. 

Tactics:

• If the middle man drives hard to the net; it makes this cross ice pass possible. 

Two Ways to Telegraph a Pass

• The forward brings the puck back across his body to pass
• The forward looks directly where he is passing

Teaching Keys: (Pass)

• Look one way; pass another way or shoot
• Snap the pass with your wrist; do not bring it back across body

The Job of the Head Coach: 

You get to coach players as long as they let you. (Chuck Daly)

Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.

                                                                                                                               

-Vince Lombardi

"The mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, the great teacher inspires."

New York Rangers Quick Transition On Defensive Zone Face Off

System:

• New York Rangers Defensive Zone Face Off & Breakout   

Tactics: 

• When Rangers win face off, the defense in middle ice picks up puck and makes pass to strong side forward skating to point

Reads:

• All 5 players must quickly read weather the face off is won or lost

Keys:

• Forwards must quickly be moving out to point
• D1 picks up puck on won face off

• D2 & Center must stay with their men and block them out

• The forwards must cause the defense to back out of zone

In this clip you can see the speed of the NY Rangers cause Ottawa Senators to back out of zone.

On Lost Face Off:

• Center on Center
• Defense on Wings & Stay with Your Man
• Wing in Middle, Stops for Loose Puck or Goes Out to Point.
• Wing on Out Side Goes Out to Point

Power Thoughts:


"If you accept a limiting belief, then it will become a truth for You."  -Louise Hay
