RE last two posts.
Its a very definite week spot in this case for sure. I would be crowding my angles to cut down the shot zone, I always adjust my angles to over compensate for a weak low blocker side game. Take that shot away and it lets you show off with a quick glove save!! Best practice ever was to stand in net placed about four feet from and facing a concrete wall, have your father stand behind you whipping tennis balls with his wicked serve at the wall and bouncing back at you!!! The best thing about the modern goalie is how well good ones can skate and play the puck!!
"flatbutt"... Kelly Hrudey played that high and forward glove style you are talking about....he sure as heck made it work well enough to play more than a few seasons!
