High glove side can be a weakness. Positioning the open mitt in anticipation of the shot requires a ton of experience and great instinct. So it is a high percentage shot as is high stick side. If the keeper has the glove down by the knee it takes that split second longer to cover the high hole. If he keeps it out from the body like a first baseman it opens the hole between his arm and the body. Plus if the keeper is known to flop to the butterfly that creates a HUGE hole on the high glove side.
Loved playing goalie!!!
