PENALTY KILLINGPENALTY KILLING

Introduction Philosophy

The law or the rules of the penalty kill vs power play

Stats

Different forechecking systems of styles

The language of the defensive zone in PK

I hope you learn something and your PK will be better next year

Philosophy The New Rules vs Old Rules

The best PK = Goaltending vs Face off’s

Do we judge a good team by the quality of his special units

Ideally you do not want them to score

In reality, you want to give the shot from the worst angle possible

What do you want to give up in the: Offensive Zone

Neutral Zone

Defensive Zone

Philosophy

• Smart

• When to be aggressive or passive

• Don’t chase behind the net, unless you are close to the puck carrier

• Don’t finish your check

What do we want to give up in the offensive zone?

• Angling and pressuring – inside to the outside (you have to skate)

• Stick down and protect the middle

• First forechecker dictates the job of the second forechecker

• Take away the best forechecker

Philosophy What do you want to give up in the Neutral

Zone?

Want to protect the middle

Want to force them to one side

Trapp

Stand up and force the dump

Cover the blue line with 3 players

Philosophy

What do we want to give up in the defensive zone

They have to shoot from the worst angle as possible.

• Create a battle to protect the puck

• Early press on the dump, create a loose puck

• Early pressure on an entry in control

• No hitting for the recovery• No clears on backhands

• Blocking shots and not Flamingo

• Shooting lane and passing lane

• Imaginary line down low• Dot rule• Flush
