evilzyme 769 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 So I was sitting on my thinking chair doing my business when an interesting question popped into my head. Has anyone ever attempted to skate across the ice with the puck similar to the Michigan move? Before the breakout, if the defencemen had popped the puck to his stick and started skating along with it, is he free game to get nailed out of his body? What would be the coverage on this... ultimately we would have a lacross style field hockey. This question arises because of the super skills competition and how everyone and their mother went for atleast one type of the Michigan move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilzyme 769 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 Yes that's the origin of the "Michigan" move, somehow people still think Cindy Crybaby made it and actually have the heart to call it the "Cindy Crybaby." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 You're definitely free game to get nailed. If you've ever played lacrosse, it would be like running without cradling, except even easier to take it away. Plus, unless your tape job is pretty darn fresh, the puck slides off the blade really easily. It's really, really impractical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
