Gotta go with Setoguchi he fell down more flashy. Both are pretty bad but Setoguchi's looks much worse.

If I know my penalty shot rules correctly the moment he mishandled the puck at about the top of the faceoff circle - that was it, that was his try .... the wipeout wasn't really relevant to the muff.

HW- you're a coach -what do you tell your kids (I assume they're kids anyways)... how to handle a breakaway chance? (I know what I got told ... and personal experience showed it to be dead on correct...).

I'm asking mainly because to me there seems to be a common denominator with both videos.

Well I coached Midget Major (not coaching this year though, wanted some time off as work was getting to hectic) so at that point you leave it up to the kids or you try and tell them what the goalie is doing...if he is coming out real far you go for a move or two and if he is staying in his net you tell them to rip a shot.

My guess you are talking about simplifying it? Not a bad move at all in general but these guys are so skilled that they can usually get away with it (Kane stickhandling 500 times for example). However, one of the best guys in the shootout ever is Toews and we all know exactly what he does...and so does every single goaltender...but Toews just continues to score.

On the subject of Kovalchuk...

He's incredible. One of the more impressive players I've ever seen skate and play in person.

I say this only because I think he's become underrated/overlooked in the same way Hossa has these past few years.

Simplifying it, making sure that you actually get off a shot -as it is 100% true that you only score if you get a shot off (and it's on net). In my opinion, Setoguchi wasn't even actually into his scoring move but was just dicking around with the puck -and flubbed it.

Kovalchuk? Well, look those things happen -he just missed a stickhandling move.

I do remember the first year I ever played, and had a one on none breakaway ... I was extrememly raw, and heard 'skatesteps' - I hurried my shot and missed the damned net. It was video-taped, so I got to relive my glory a few times at my teammeate's place -- although luckily I also scored that game too.

--Anyways FF to a couple years later, for some unknown reason I got the puck by the near faceoff circle hashmarks and I thought that I was all alone (although since I was smack in the middle of the O zone -there wasn't actually any reason for being along apart from the other team not knowing how to play defense -or doing the typical 'everyone chase the puck' bs that can pass for that level of hockey... anyways I looked around -and sure enough there wasn't anyone even on my side of the ice. I took the puck skated straight at the goalie -didn't dick around with any stick handling and blew it between the goalie and the post (which he was hugging) - mind you it was one of the better goalies in the league I was in (he was the sort of guy that stayed on after the games for drills and I could never get one by the guy with a move -even if he was flopping around like an octopus on a hotplate ... but for whatever reason I could score on the guy in games.

Had another time when I poke checked the puck away from a guy coming up to his blue line (mind you I was a forward, so it wasn't like I was a defenseman in a position to hand the rest of my team mates out to dry -but rather was sort of an incidental forechecker)... same deal - no stick handling - but right at the goalie... same result as well.

Mind you I had some moves - forehand to backhand -and always scored way more on my backhand than my forehand.

I suppose my point is more for guys that play rec hockey or don't play it at all- what the fundimentals of the situation are actually - and that you, as a player are supposed to build off of that.

Ok- well apologies for writing all that- I don't get any ice time in down here -so well... all I have is writing I guess... someday I'll be able to get back out there.
