Contrary to popular belief, dangling in
hockey is not spectacular stickhandling or deking. A commercial by
Nike Hockey doesn't change the definition. A dangle is a burst of speed by the
skater to blow by the defenceman. Spinning or putting a puck between a D-man's legs is not a dangle.
"Robertson just dangled by that defender, left him in the dust, and shelfed a
beauty."
"I
hate it when
people use the word 'dangle' as a reference to a deke."
