Brad Marchand - Fake forehand shot, quick shift over to the backhand and immediately put a soft touch on it to put it between the goalie's legs. Mix of a quick deke + a bit of deception on how much he actually puts on the shot.



Patrice Bergeron - Fake forehand shot, quick shift to backhand and immediately drag it back to the other side on the backhand to try put it around the goalie on the ice.

Marchand's backhand five hole is his most common, but sometimes he'll backhand shelf it glove side or just shoot it five hole.

Crosby - quick snapshot 5-hole from way out, 99 times out of 100 the goalie makes the save.

No clue why he rarely goes for his wicked backhander any longer. It's like he just wants to shoot the puck as soon as possible.
