03:12 PM - October 12, 2016 by RaychelSnrYouTuber BaconCountry is back with a video talking about an under-utilized but powerful tool in EA Sports' NHL: the flip pass.
The flip pass, especially a longer one, involves you doing a flip over a longer distance which allows one of your players to get down to the ice and get the pass and (the hope is) a breakaway score. This doesn't work all of the time of course, but its one of those things you could always try to bust out when you are wanting to surprise a defense and loosen up the pressure a bit.
There is potential you'll get icing, and that's always possible with such a long pass in the game -- but the air time the puck gets usually means your player is in decent enough position to get the pass and try to get a breakaway score.
Of course, defending this is tough -- but not impossible, especially if you are playing someone online who insists on doing this a lot. And the success rate you'll have isn't near 100% on offense even when you catch the defense off guard. This is one of those moves many don't use a lot but it could be a good tool to have stored away in your arsenal to pull out a time or two a game.
What do you think? Have you used the long flip in NHL 17 to any success?
