| Interestingly, I get called for this quite a lot. Annoyingly, I get called for it when the puck hasn't gone anywhere near touching my fingers, but the fingers are out so the ref assumes I've used them. For a lot of my dummies, especially the slower ones, I relax the thumb allowing it to bend back which changes the angle of the stick from coming straight out of my hand to being about 45 degrees back. Great for controlling the puck, but the shape of the hand no longer looks like a fist, it's quite relaxed and open, and even though the stick is still against the back of the fingers it looks like your fingers are poking out. Hmm, maybe I should post a picture for this. Will be interested to know peoples thoughts on the legality.
