Description
Take an inside look at the most important two minutes of hockey! This newest book in the successful Hockey the NHL Way series reveals the ins and outs of those special teams that hang tight when the action heats up; that use power plays on their road to glory; and that boost morale (and prevent opponents from scoring) with penalty kills. Highlighted by full-color action photographs of NHL players in game situations, and with personal tips from such stars as Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, Jere Lehtinen, Jeff Friesen, and Mike Peca, here's a guide that really shows how today's greats make the big plays when the game is on the line. All the skills youngsters need to tackle special team situations like the pros are broken down into easy-to-understand steps with how-to photos and text: how to kill penalties, capitalize on power plays, win key faceoffs, score on penalty shots, and prevail in shootouts.
