Slip / Hook Pass by Barbashev to Machessault

https://vimeo.com/858413567

A slip (or hook) pass has become a great offensive skill. It is a great skill to use against a defensemen trying to go stick on puck. The skill requires the player to extend the puck out on their forehand and use the curve of their stick as a "hook" to slip it around the opponents stick. In this clip there is a great slip pass by Barbashev and great net drive by Marchessault.

What to Watch

As Barbashev enters the zone his eyes are up to scan the ice for support.
He realizes he has support and buys time by getting to his inside edges and extending the puck to his forehand to keep the puck away from the defender.
This allows Marchessault time to drive the net.
Barbashev uses a slip pass to pass around the defenders stick.
