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...

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.

What I'm saying is to be respectful of other people's opinions. He's trying to show how to successfully dump the puck when others say it can't be done. There's nothing wrong with that.

@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.
or this
or this
or this
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.
