Euro_Twins 4,476 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 Why does anyone have a problem when any player uses the slow approach method? The league implemented a stupid way of settling games. People shouldn't be upset when players take what is given to them. Does everyone really think a shooter should skate it in fast, thereby letting the goalie use the shooter's momentum against him? They could also just skate bertuzzi speed along the boards and cut across the front of the net in slow motion 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,522 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 I think the next time Kane does it Jimmy should just come out of the net and wipe him out. Let them award the goal. It would simultaneously give Kane pause the next time he faces Jimmy AND reignite a great rivalry. 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Greek 323 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 They could also just skate bertuzzi speed along the boards and cut across the front of the net in slow motion Isn't that the same thing, in principle? That's why I'm confused over the reaction. I don't see a meaningful difference between what Kane and Bertuzzi do. the goalie always has to make the first move on a breakaway/shootout. Kane and Bertuzzi's approaches just give the shooter the time and space to react to the goalie's move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 There is nothing wrong with slowing down for a shootout move imo the worst is the 360 backhand with their ass in the goalies face. This move is clearly against the rules of forward motion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 I've literally never seen people complain about lanes slow down thing until this. I've seen more people praising his stick handling and his ability to make the change of pace to freeze the goalie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ***** about it, mostly cause he usually scores and it enrages me when Kane smiles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,522 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 I absolutely love Patrick Kane. What's not to like about a mulleted smartass who skates like a cheetah, drinks like a Russian, scores goals and wins Stanley Cups? It's as if Joe Dirt were REALLY good at hockey. 2 amato and The Greek reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Hmm I like Kane as a player, but don't care for him either way as a person. But that smirk does also make me a little angry after he scores. Its just too cocky, not that he doesn't deserve to be, It just makes me enjoy when he fails because of it. 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if he was on the wings he'd probably be my favorite player behind datsyuk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
