OT: Players Tribune: Elite Snipers 101 by Jonathan Quick

Reading the main boards, you'd think it felt like getting shot with a nerf gun

Well on top of being incredibly intelligent, they're all also very tough and durable like NHL players.

Really surprised he didn't run with my Rick Nash breakdown.

Tanner Glass:

Tanner Glass is one of the most deceptive shooters in the league. He typically only wants to get 1-2 looks at the goal per game because he doesn't want to give away all of his shooting angles. When he does have a look at goal he has a very deceptive move in which he makes it look like he's lost control of the puck on his stick. This allows the goalie to scan for other scoring options, but out of the blue he'll wildly fire one off. He is also a master of banking his shots off of things on the ice like other players, sticks, posts, even the goalie themselves. The shooting wide is just an act to play a ricochet into the net.
