CobwebMustardseed posted:What does it mean for a player to be called "floaty"? Someone in the N/V thread called Ovechkin "floaty mcfloater" and I did not know if this was good or bad. Basically it means they don't backcheck hard, they don't forecheck hard, and they're generally lazy and don't show much hustle when they don't have the puck. Think about a forward floating around near their blueline or in the neutral zone waiting for their teammates to get the puck to them so they can go on the attack, but not doing any actual work themselves for it. Being floaty is a bad thing.

Aniki posted:Isn't that the same thing as a cherry picker? Where they just hang around the blue line, don't play defense, and only really hustle when they have a chance for a breakaway. Mmm, like myron_cope said, floating is a bit more of a "philosophy". In my opinion, I would say that perhaps cherry-picking is but one aspect of being floaty. But it is really a multi-layered term. Generally it means you're a lazy rear end in a top hat, though. goldrush fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Feb 24, 2012 |
