Check out the illustrations of the poke check, the stick lift, and bodychecking.

Hutton had come way out a few seconds earlier to make a poke check as the Sound Tigers sprung two players free behind the Sharks' defense.

Lynas could do nothing to stop Nottingham's eighth goal after the puck was coughed up at the blue line, but did pull off her best save of the game with an excellent poke check to halt a oneon-one break.

But then Ruff lost possesion and Ian McIntyre's cross pass found Roenick who evaded the attempted poke check of Bales to equalise.

Krysil's pass hit Coulombe's stick on the tape, drawing Griffin out for a diving poke check, but Coulombe switched to the backhand to avoid it and slide the puck into the net.

About two minutes earlier, Sturm's breakaway was ruined by Karel Rachunek's diving poke check.

Greiss lost his stick trying to make a poke check. Not only did he not get it back - none of his teammates loaned him a stick.
