If you see a guy winding up on the point for a slapper, move out as quickly as you can. I've been experimenting alot lately. If you know he has noone to pass to or if you like to gamble, go for it. My friend who was shooting said "damn, you closed it all off" as he skated by after his shot from the point.
Not playing on a regular rink, it's somewhat hard for me to associate myself with where I am in relation to my net. But there are certain marks on the floor I use. I play in a roller-rink on Sunday's.
Being somewhat shy about my skating ability, I have been hesitant about really coming out far on a breakaway. Last time, I figured why not...the best player vs. me! all alone right down the middle...i came about 30 ft. out and skated backwards with him. I have NEVER tried this, so it was all new! He deeked to hie left, but came back right. I didn't bite on it, and I stoned him about 7 ft. in front of the net when he tried to go 5 hole. I can't wait to try it again
