It's kind of easy ending up skating along the boards since you want to stay as far away from the opposing defenders as possible. This however makes you an easy target for a checking defender. If you stick to the boards you're reducing the possible movement angle to 180 degrees instead of having the full 360. But if you put just a yard between yourself and the board, suddenly you doubble your choices and your chances to shake of the defender - which, if you manage to, might leave the slot wide open.
