NEW YORK - Victor Hedman highlights should come with a disclaimer: Don't try this at home.
Go ahead. Watch Hedman play for the Tampa Bay Lightning against the New York Islanders in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Second Round on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports). Marvel at how, as a defenseman, he plays the shot instead of the pass on a 2-on-1 or how he ends up above the offensive goal line on the penalty kill.
Just don't think you can copy it in a youth league or beer league. Most players can't in the NHL, and if they tried, they would get benched.
