When you have the puck and are moving forward, because you already have the puck, you're automatically facing it. So you can hold it down without repercussion. You actually have to hold it down to do the spin move. When you tap LT on a rush, it pushes the puck ahead. Don't hold it down, just tap it. It'll kick the puck up, give you a little boost of speed and he'll pick it up again.
However, if you keep pressing it on the same rush, it'll become ineffective and the D will easily pick up the loose puck. Also, doing this near the boards will likely get you pinned and the puck keeps going.
