Honestly easier said than done.

It has been my experience that when someone has a particular hate for a player they hone in on their errors. Most NHL dmen make a couple of glaring mistakes a game - but when you hate a particular one you will be waiting for that specific player to make his normal mistake and then jump all over it. I think it is also very hard to judge NHL dmen by watching them on TV.
