Faceoffs:
Cliff notes:
- Each time you change your stance in a given faceoff, your chances of winning decreases.
- Backhand > Stick Lifts, but Backhand < Tie-Ups - Forehand < Stick Lifts, but Forehand > Tie-Ups
- Faceoff dekes, shots and clears are weak vs. everything
Deking:
Cliff notes:
- Skate deke: (L1 + Down on RS) Good against button mashing poke checkers
- Behind and through the legs: (7 o'clock (5 o'clock if right handed) RS --> L1 + Down on RS) Good against ill timed poke checks
Checking:
