His stance is wrong on the pipe, pulling your feet together makes you smaller to the openning of the cage, he should keep the same stance at all times- feet shoulders width apart, being in his stance the shooter can easily just shoot around him to far pipe he isn't on the balls of his feet either, he's having trouble stepping to the ball because he is off balance. He needs to lead with that top hand, yes a save is save, but his top hand should get to the ball first.

@windyhillsss u want ur feet close together cuz ur they wont think to go five hole and if they are coming around they crease . their just trying to get the shot off quick and will most of the time go high

i find that if you step infront of the pipe it works well, put your pipe side foot on/above the pipe to make yourself bigger in the goal, you being farther out makes the room that the shooter can shoot at a bit smaller, this in turn can make him dought himself and he passes it up to a midde

all that being said, that was just a goalie rant, stick to your pipes, just know you can get caught there as well. i like being on the perfect angle but out way too far. this also allows to crush a crease rush. just work on position, position, position, over and over, and you'll get it.

and by jump i mean you make them panic and shoot way quicker than they wanted to. in that instance, a miss is a save, because you created the miss. this is the thing i would teach to young goalies, basically, become a defenseman. i'm sure many more have realized this before i did, but it needs to be said. make them jump in their thoughts because they aren't expecting to turn around and see your entire figure. when they do they panic and shoot wide or hit you. get out there goalies.

i hate to be that guy, but any goalie that gets what shooters are doing with the their sticks are using their entire body to block the most possible area. the stick is the cream here. i make a ton of save with my biceps. why? i don't know. it is because i'm on the move to the head of the stick at the release. when i play box i bait, and it's fun as hell. the thing i don't think goalies realize (coming from someone who comes out of net three steps more than most) is you make the shooter jump.

@windyhillsss but the two most probable places the ball is going is opposite high corner or 5 hole and if the 5 hole can be cover by the legs the opposite high corner can be stopped by the stick
