Why don't NHL teams utilize the flying V?

[lilmagicjohnson]

In mighty ducks the only time the flying V is ever stopped is when the bigger stronger iceland team creates their own flying v and simultaneously checks all 5 ducks leading to a 5 on goldberg fastbreak. Why dont NHL teams utilize this unstoppable tactic

[Jailblazers7]

Because nhl players aren't 10 years old.

[DeAndre Gordon]

cuz nobody can finish it off with a triple-deke like charlie

[lilmagicjohnson]

conway never used the triple deke during the flying v he only pulls that bad boy out during breakaways and shoot out situations

[Reef]

Because no team is coached by Gordon Bombay.

[OneMoreSucka]

Half an inch charlie....half an inch.
Yeah, coach, but half an inch the other way and you would've missed completely
You know, I've never looked at it like that...

"# The Flying V -- featured the five Ducks on the ice lining up in an inverted "V" shape & skating up the ice in tight formation en route to a huge goal. Unfortunately, sports fans, the Flying V is patently illegal at every level of hockey.

1st, players without the puck in the Flying V generally set picks on or just flat-out level opposing players that near the formation. Most zebras refer to this tactic as "Interference," a two-minute penalty.

2nd, in the Flying V's debut, Terry Hall carries the puck into the zone on the Ducks' goal. What's the big deal, you ask? Terry's brother Jesse Hall was the Duck who led the Flying V. That's right, boys and girls, the Flying V was offside."


"The Knucklepuck -- This is a minor gripe, but I found it amusing that this shot spawned its own Wiki page. From the article:

In the movie, the knuckle puck somehow sails through the air along a physically impossible sine-curve, causing the opposing team to stare in confusion as the puck whizzes by them and into the net. In reality, hitting the puck from the side as Russ does results in a disappointing shot that bounces chaotically and stops after a few feet.


And yet it sailed through the air in the gold medal game sequence roughly 190 feet. Riiiight.

[playtetris]

:roll: :roll: :roll:

why don't nhl teams use the knucklepuck too?

[D.J.]

The same reason why none of the Dallas Stars players use a rope to contain an opposing player.

[Hawker]

Why don't they juggle the puck with their sticks either?

[catzhernandez]

:roll:

[JtotheIzzo]

why doesn't the goalie use a stick big enough to block the entire net?

[bdreason]

Isn't it illegal? Sorry, I'm not a Hockey expert.


And if you turned it over... wouldn't it leave the goalie all alone?
