It seems to me that the pokecheck is getting used less and less as the goaltending position evolves. I've tried to implement it into my game, but I find myself overusing it and getting burnt for a goal down low, and putting it back on the shelf. I still am quite active with my stick, and will always try to pokecheck when the forward is coming in wide at a poor angle.......however, I think the pokecheck on a breakaway is something that should go the way of the skate save....you're better off trying to make the save than to make holes in your game.
