You notice Sven in Benson's drawing the puck ends up in the goal? In your vid clip, yes you got past 5 defenders... but then one of them ended up with the puck, now they have possession with 6 players facing toward your goal, and you and one of your other wings (at least) are out of the play due to your position (behind the puck, and behind their support players AND on the surface). Maybe just my opinion, but that is not a good example of something to want to do on the strike. Maybe if you had had a teammate end up with the puck, or been able to get the puck to a place in the pool where the other team was not in such good position for a counter attack, it could be a successful example, but just running through a few opponents and giving the puck to them shows nothing.

Or to look at it another way... had you been able to hold onto the puck when you lost it... turn back around, move around the 6th defender you would have scored and it would have looked surprisingly similar to Benson's drawing... so that's why so many turns... a few less turns and he may have lost the puck for nothing.
