Dumping the puck
What's the deal with the difficulty introduced this year with something as simple as dumping the puck? I mean, it's always been problematic, but this year, it's ridiculous that half the time your ska...

Seems like everytime I post a GIF showing a mechanic work fine when executed properly, the goal posts get moved. The complaint has been that users are unable to flip the puck outside the zone from inside the zone. My gif demonstrates that this is not the case.
It sounds like you want the get-out-of-jail free mechanic where you toss the puck 30-ft in the air and the puck instantly clears the zone without any responsibility to actually move the puck with hockey plays and using hockey IQ. This seems to contradict the demand that hockey IQ and skill be the determining factor in any given scenario.
No man, the goal posts aren’t getting moved. You are trying to do exactly what you have done around here for years. Stir the pot using a technicality to show everybody that they are wrong and you are right.
It will get to the point where you complain that somebody “attacked you for no reason,” which then usually leads to the thread getting locked.
Hockey IQ involves knowing when to just get the puck out of the zone (get out of jail free card as you call it) or make an attempted play that has a lower chance of clearing the zone. It’s why all of the best players and teams use this strategy and don’t try to force plays, especially when tired.

There's no pot stirring here. What @KidShowtime1867 does is show that what people claim to be broken, unplayable, impossible, etc. is not quite as such. I get that most everyone here has a very negative outlook on the game. That doesn't mean when someone has an alternative point of view they automatically need to be labeled as a pot stirrer. This is the one warning I will give. Keep the discussion about the game and not slandering each other.
Do you actually think dumping the puck out a foot from the blue line is what @Treatmentworke66 is talking about and @KidShowtime1867 showing it will lead to constructive discussion?
If that’s what the thought process is, no need for a warning, not any reason to continue the dialogue.
- @Beauts90 exactly that's not I'm talking about ,I'm not talking about just a simple clear ,which would still be a hockey play, I'm talking about creating a play from using the puck flip from deep inside the defensive zone, which you already understand, thank you

okay fine.... literally just hopped into an OVP game and flip dumped a bunch. Even created a play or two.

how will the goal posts move this time?
am I not clearing from far back enough? Am I not creating enough of a play?
I really want to know what else I need to show in order to prove the flip dump does work?
people have a hard time using it because they aim it into traffic and don’t take the time to learn and understand how it’s used.
Like should I go back behind the goal line ? Is the issue that the “flip dump is broken” or is it that the flip dump doesn’t work behind the goal line? Because I’m showing that it’s not broken.
