It can be thrown as a takeaway or out of desperation. I think those two videos illustrate the two ends of the spectrum quite nicely.

With that said the next day he threw another successful one and kept his feet moving with the player after the check was thrown.

He clearly gets beaten and throws it out of pure desperation. Move your feet more and you won’t have to throw checks like that anymore. But congrats on making it work. You don’t see many of these.

That being said, it was a total desperation check by a player who was clearly beaten. Because the attacker hung his stick after running by the D guy, I’m not sure that a rusty gate was necessary. Probably could have gotten him with a simple trail check. In Hartzell’s play, Boyle was a threat and Hartzell wasn’t really in bad position even if the check didn’t connect.
