Re: NHL 2015, Part 3: Stanley Cup and Offseason
It's pickup, actually, and we have a rule of no slap shots or else you're endlessly derided by all opponents and those who might be your opponents next week.
Still, my wrist shot has cracked one guy's shin pad, caused a goalie to get a new chest protector, and sent a poster to the hospital to check his ankle after the USCHO posters' game in St. Louis. People seem emboldened to block shots when they know slappers aren't coming their way. A nut cup, however, takes a lot more to crack than most anybody's wrist shot can produce.
