Ovechkin Backchecks Relentlessly
https://vimeo.com/846445592
Backchecking is a mindset, it is not glorious, but can be just as good as a goal. In this clip Ovechkin shows he is not above giving an all out effort on the backcheck to prevent a goal. When you put forth an effort like this your teammates take notice.You don't have to be a leading goal scorer to put forth effort like this and you might gain even more respect from your teammates.
What to Watch
- Ovechkin never stop moving his feet until he has caught up to the player with the puck.
- The reason he disrupts the player with the puck is pure determination.
- The player makes a good move to take away Ovechkins hands by cutting across the net but Ovechkin makes an unorthodox move by going behind the player and disrupting the stick on the other side.
