When to go for that loose puck -- and when not to



I like to find videos that smartly break down beer league hockey games and point out mistakes. This one does that, reinforcing the point that it's the d-man's job to stay between the puck carrier and the net. Lunging for a loose puck may seem a good aggressive play, unless you don't get the puck.

Then what? Watch the video!
