I never like the Slap Shot in a penalty shot situation. I felt I was in the slot by the time to shoot and it was more accurate to force a move on the part of the goaltender.
When the goalie stays back, shoot. When the goalie comes out, deek. Also, every hockey player has a hard enough slap-shot to be effective on a power play. It's just that it isn't utiluzed enough. Just keep it low and somewhat on target. What you are mostly hoping for is a deflection, whether it is intentional or not. Back to the shootout, why, oh why do players so rarely gain a big head of steam coming in? Take a big head start, grab the puck practically at full boar and it frees you to make a move without exerting hardly any effort with the legs.
I love Rolston's slapper against Osgood he played at lake state university in sault ste. Marie mi. And I watch his hockey career take off after they won the ncca tournament.
Thing about slapshots is that you as a goalkeeper can't read the body language. And it's impossible to cover entire area of the net from the puck point of view. Good players can and will capitalize on this.

why did you put hartmans miss here?
There should be no slapshots on shootouts or penalty shots
Not a shootout but malkins breakaway slapper will always be so epic, he gets leveled, cherry picks and gets a breakaway. Love it

Brian Rolston better be in thi- .. and there he is! 1:25
could you do defensemen break aways, or breakaways coming out of the penalty box. just a couple of ideas

Steve Larmer was the man who invented the breakaway slap shot
Does every time we use a slapshot in a Shoot out you always score
The amuck jeans extremely escape because zoo clearly stay without a nutritious pedestrian. shivering, volatile corn
Hossa: Atlanta vs Detroit, Detroit vs Chicago, Chicago vs Detroit, if only it was Chicago vs Atlanta, woulda came full circle

Chara could have killed somebody

You know what we called guys who took slapshots on breakaways or penalty shots? Pussies…

Needs way more than just one Brian Rolston clip, dude did it A LOT.
Marian Hossa seems to be good at this
Goalies don’t wnna stop them I don’t blame them lol

Nothing says gutless more than a clapper on a clear break
Didn't Modano have one at one point?
This is almost disrespectful to the game 😂
As a goalie, slapshots are quite literally the bane of my existence
1:36 Osgood doesn't move until the puck is already by him…
Alternative title: ‘players upset with enemy goalies’
Random Benoit to throw rhythm, hell yea.
"He does have some good deking ability"
SMASH!

I love Giroux's slapper. Stick to the rafters, let it rip.
