The best players that I have watched making those type turns were Naslund and Kurri. Both of them widen their stance and drop their top hand down below their hips – with or without the puck. You can release quicker and you can certainly receive the puck more cleanly when you do so. I was never a big fan of crossing the top hand over, those guys always seemed easy to pressure and easy to body off the puck.
