Taylor Hall Attack Rush Play Against Two Defenders
An excellent teaching video on the 1:2 Attack Rush Play is shared. Taylor Hall picks the puck up off the wall in his own zone, smartly heads into middle ice (between the dots) gaining speed through the neutral zone to attack Jack Eichel (VGKF9) who is skating backwards covering for the D caught up ice. Instead of attacking space Taylor attacks his defender with speed to put the puck under his stick to retrieve it on the other side of Eichel to establish inside body and stick position on Eichel to make a play on net. Eichel is penalized on the play for getting his stick into Hall’s hands.
On the 1:2 play the Puck Carrier attacks the defender not space. By gaining speed attacking his defender he has the option of putting the puck through his defenders legs or under his defenders stick skating past the defender to pick up the puck on the other side of his defender. The other option is using his defender as a screen and shooting through his defenders legs or on either side of the defender to get a quality shot on net then proceed to the net for a rebound opportunity should there be one. There’s no better option for a Puck Carrier 1:1 or 1:2 to attack the defender vs space. The speed play putting the puck through the defender is a good hockey play.
