Shot (ice hockey)

A shot in ice hockey is an attempt by a player to score a goal by striking or snapping the puck with their stick in the direction of the net.

Types of shots

There are four basic types of shots in ice hockey.

Shovel

The shovel shot is the simplest most basic shot in a shooter's arsenal. Its execution is simply a shoveling motion to push the puck in the desired direction, or flick of the puck (be it on the forehand, backhand, or in a spearing motion). Players typically resort to shovelling the puck to push loose pucks past a sprawling, or out-of-position goaltender. Therefore, the easiest move of all.

Wrist

The wrist shot is executed by positioning the puck toward the heel-middle of the blade. From that position the shooter rolls his back wrist quickly, while thrusting the puck forward with the bottom hand. As the blade propels the puck forward the movement of the wrist rolls the puck toward the end of the blade, causing the puck to spin. The tightness of the spin of the puck has an effect much like the spin a quarterback puts on their football pass, resulting in more accuracy. The puck is aimed with the follow-through of the shot, and will typically fly perfectly in the direction of the extension of the stick, resulting in an extremely accurate shot. At the same time, the stick flexes, so the moment the puck is released from the stick, the snap of the stick will propel the puck forward at high speeds. NHL players known for their wrist-shot include Alexander Ovechkin, Eric Staal, Marián Gáborík, Jeff Carter, Alexander Semin, Teemu Selänne, Alexei Kovalev, Pavel Datsyuk, Phil Kessel, Wayne Gretzky, Steven Stamkos, Peter Forsberg, Raymond Bourque, Phil Kessel and Ryan Kesler.

There was a man who said the friendships we make are the most honest things in life.
Said man was also a fucking idiot.
Whatever works out the same in the end.
Block out the people we've fucked over on the way.
One thing that man did say,
I'm sure you get answers straight in hell.
This one's for martyrs,
have fun, leave me here.
This one's for you,
that girl that thought that I'd be different.
I'm beginning to take my foot out of the door,
because I keep waiting on the same lies.
I'd be a sport and shut up,
but it happens so often.
I think of the worst in most, and I hate being right.
Whatever works out the same in the end,
but never works out at all.
One thought that I can't shake is the fucking laughs and "I told you so"s.
This one's for all the man I tried to be.
This shot's for all of our wasted times.
Where the fuck did I go wrong in a way of life we used to lead?
And what the fuck do I remember?
Not a damn thing.
What did we promise then?
What went wrong?
It's taking all I have to go on.
If we all had a rocket, your ass would be the first one to go.
