This is a must know tip for when you are approaching the net from the side or from behind. You can beat the goalie on the far side by dekeing the puck out away from the goalie. By dekeing the puck out, you have increased the radius of your shot sweep. When you get close to the goalie, use that extra radius to swing your shot around the goalie and into the farside of the goal. The dekes you should use are straight left or straight right on the right stick, depending on which side you are approaching from.
Potter has a great post on deke positions. Get comfortable with each position so you can pull off the right deke at the right time. http://eanhl09.blogspot.com/2009/03/deke-guide.html
