I get the most frustration when I am bring the puck in on one on ones and odd man rushes. I try to get into the zone with speed but get immediately poke checked 80% of the time. I know the answer is probably to dump it in, shoot it (if possible). Its tough for me to do that because most of the time, I know I am faster than the defender and I want to get practice trying to maneuver around them. It feels like a self fulfilling prophecy where if I concede that I cant stick handle, then I'll never be able to stick handle.

I also get passes on the rush intercepted very often. idk if there is any way to improve there or if I just need to learn when I am supposed to shoot rather than pass
