I meant 'revolutionary' in the sense that we could talk about the merits of legalising it, not that people have only just started doing it! :-)

Duck - I agree that you definitely wouldn't want running the puck up the wall leg against the finger legalised, as that definitely will NOT do anything fo an open game, but if the rules could be worded in such a way as to allow for a swerve, then you might be able to do it.

Again - don't really mind either way. I simply noticed that:

1. Players doing it are much more easily able to avoid getting 'bogged down' in melees - which helped the game flow better; and

2. It happens a LOT in elite games, and is very rarely called (and I suspect very rarely seen). The people that do it are usually very good at it, and do it very quickly. In games I referee, I suspect I'd be lucky to call it 5% of the time it occurs in my view, for various reasons. One of those is that although I'm often 90% sure that someone (e.g. Nicky!) has done it (because their swerve was so awesome!), I didn't clearly see it, so I can't call it! Also, it's often done under the body.

Might not be wanted by the majority, or possible to write up effectively, but keep the comments coming! :-)
