The blatant trip is actually the last resort for me, as there are a lot of other ways you can neutralize a guy trying to get by you. Getting your stick in the way of his, getting between the ball and him to slow him down, and even hooking him are much less obvious ways to make sure he doesn't get by you. The trip will almost always draw a penalty or penalty shot, hence the question, penalty shot vs. breakaway.

Besides Rifleman, my other accounts are Datsookin, AlbertGQ, Bertuzzied, CaptainCrunch, and Bingo.

Hehe.

All in all its a stupid and cheap tactic. If the player you're trying to trip gets by you but you still managed to penalize yourself by obstructing the player, you've just given them a 2 for 1. Either they're going to score on the partial breakaway, and if they miss, they then get a penalty shot. Just man up and play the game with some integrity. Tell me the last time you saw an NHL penalty shot where it was blatantly obvious that the defensive player was making no attempt to get back on D or swipe at the puck?
