First, you post this:

Here is a video of me doing a flip dump on my back hand after my C won a faceoff to me as a d-Man that clears the zone in an EASHL 6's game:

Then, you move the goal posts:

Not what I asked for.  

Faceoff in your zone, quick backhand flip from the corner straight up the boards and over the blue line.

Here's a video of me of me doing a quick forehand flip from the corner, straight up the boards and over the blue line.

Now, you're going to get all picky about this not being a backhand - I am rarely trying to clear the zone on my backhand as a defender because that's not a play that I would consider a good one. I'm also always playing LD, so putting the puck on my backhand as a right-handed LD to clear the puck up my side (left) is not ideal. Also, a faceoff in this hypothetical is irrelevant. 

So then we arrive here:

I've literally provided countless examples of me executing all kinds of dumps and clears, a few of which pertain to the exact situation you described initially and then subsequently changed as you were shown it's still accessible with some skill.

Obviously you’re not getting it.

I don’t need to be shown how to do something I can already do!  I’ve already told you I can do the backhand and forehand flips shown in your clips.  So why would I keep asking for you to perform a flip dump in a specific well explained situation?  Think about it.  It’s because there is a difference!  I haven’t changed it and have explained it in great detail a few times. 

The face off is crucial in this hypothetical situation.  The face off on the PK in my zone is the reason why I would attempt this particular flip dump. I’m PRIMARILY attempting this dump on the PK after a FO in my zone because it was the most effective and efficient way to clear the zone.  But now you think I want to be able to do it so I can exploit a play springing my winger for a breakaway.  😏  Which btw was also a common play a lot of people did but it was easily stopped too so it wasn’t an exploitable play.  Once again, I’m a 10 year EASHL veteran.  I’m skilled and good enough at this game that I don’t need a so called “exploit”.  

I don’t NEED the backhand high flip dump either because I’m skilled and good enough to clear the zone on PK’s other ways so yes I have “adapted”.  I do WANT it back because it is a common, effective and efficient way to clear the zone as done in real life.  That is the difference.  

Clearing your zone on your backhand you don’t consider a “good play” or “ideal”?  

It’s actually a better option especially if you’re playing as a right handed LD or in my case a left handed RD.  When you go to your backhand you’re shielding the puck from an opposing player thus making it easier to backhand flipping it out.  There is a reason why a lot of players use to puck protect and/rag it on their back hand.  

Also in your first clip dumping it diagonally to the right corner isn’t a good play at all.  The opposing C could’ve intercepted it for a breakaway and their LD was already back enough to retrieve it.  You could’ve easily just dumped it to the left corner using your forehand or backhand without any potential risk of it being intercepted. 

Back to the original and PRIMARY situation I’m talking about which is the PRIMARY reason why I would attempt this back hand flip dump.  I wish I could draw you a picture to help you but unfortunately I’m not good at that so I’ll explain it yet again in the simplest terms.

Your team is on the PK.  
They have 5 skaters.

Your team has 4 skaters.

The face off is in your zone.  
The face off is in your bottom left corner. 

You understand this so far?

You’re the LD (right handed).

You’re positioned directly behind your C at approximately the goal line.  
Your C wins it straight back to you or in the corner.

What are your options to clear the zone most effectively and efficiently?

You can turn towards the boards, then skate and slap shot it behind your net and up the right boards. That’s one effective way.   

You’re not going to chip it off the left boards on your forehand.  The opposing RW is attacking you and can poke check you before you get the chance. Even if you get the puck past the RW their RD is right along the boards at the blue line waiting for the puck.  

You’re not diagonally flipping it out the right side because the distance is even farther and the chance of it being intercepted is even greater.  

Now what are your other options and especially if you and/or your teammates are fatigued and the other team has pressure?

You can rip a slapshot along the left boards.  Ok, that could/would work. 

You’re not skating it out.  You’re too fatigued and outmanned.  

You’re not likely to pass it to a teammate because they’re too fatigued and also out manned and covered. 

Your best option as I’ve mentioned?

Backhand high flip straight up the left boards and over the blue line or even off the glass and out.  This is the option I am discussing and want.  Yet it has been nerfed to the point it isn’t possible or as effective as much anymore.  So EA has just handicapped the most effective and efficient way to clear the zone.  I don’t need to ask why.
