Absolute textbook example of how a two on one should be played when the hand of the shooter is on the outside. • Defenseman takes away the passing lane, but stays with striking distance to prevent for too much time and space to cut across the net. • Mrazek stays patient and eliminates the short side. • when the forward cuts to the middle, it is an easy read from forehand to backhand and being that the middle of the ice is cut off, Mrazek has the luxury of shifting up and into the stick blade to easily smother the attempt. Goaltenders, do you communicate with your defenseman during practice? Getting a read of the hand of the shooter and the secondary threat are key elements in your strategy to playing two ones and how you communicate with your defense. #nhl #readtheplay #patience #readandreact
