Actually, not much can be seen in the first few views of that goal. However, the very last part of the following video — or the very last slow-motion replay — shows exactly what I’d like you to see. From the side view, we can see Fehr’s stick bending — like big-time. But, please take a look for yourself before I get further into this subject… Now, let me tell you the significance of the flex in a player’s hockey stick… In so doing, I’d like you to first consider holding a 2″ x 4″ board, and then using it…
