I always leave the cage, I comeout when the are comming from behind and flaten em, I usually just put my stick on theirs and just lay em out and if they do score, blame the D :)

@TommyVBC123 That will work when you are younger, but when you get into varsity level and college, the shooters are smarter and will just put it around you.

[PeaTearGriffin45]

shouldn't you pop out a little besides shuffling to the ball because when you pop out when they shoot it would cut of more angle and you would be sure you are not catching it in the goal at least thats what i do

[PrimeSportsTraining]

If that works for you I would do it. You don't want to come to far out where the opponent can shoot the ball around you for an easy goal.

[PeaTearGriffin45]

no i mean after the ball is shot

[PrimeSportsTraining]

I would come out towards where the ball is going. Not out at the shooter.

all of you guys that say this is wrong are retarded.

Only come out if the attackman is a weak ball handler and has dropped the ball on the crease.

Wait through the fakes can be misinterpreted incorrectly. It means dont sell out unless the ball is in the air.

Trust me I made a living off of t 1v1s in college

the second shot was sooo easy to block, wht kind of a shooter would take tht shot

@nokelaxfan what happens is if the slide is late, then the goalie is left to save a shot that is supposed to be a shooters goal no matter what? I understand what you're saying about the put it around them. But it's not the goalies fault, so don't blame the goalie for a goal. A lot of people fuck up to cause a goal such as a bad ride, or a bad shot by the attack. so don't blame the goalie dumbass.

@sportfanatic696 if the ball goes in the goal then it works. and 9 times out of 10 when i get scored on the shot is low. Low shots are better, they just aren't as flashy.

DEAR GOALIES OUT THERE IS A GOOD BOUNCE SHOT HARD TO STOP? cuz thats what i usually use but sometimes im criticized for using a bouncer and putting it in like a bottom corner or between the goalies legs for a goal. I play attack. Whadda ya think?

[redsox4392]

Are there any videos on goalie communication?

[MaNiACHoST]

WHy dont you actually shoot the fucking ball not throw like a 2 year old

[nokelaxfan]

@TommyVBC123 if they score its ur fault dumbass, ur d is supposed to slide, i play attack whenever goalies come out on me i fake the shit out of them and score on an open goal, embarrassing for u

[mikey1029384]

@mikey1029384 or (not and) the goalie not going all the way (as in taking one sorta-kinda-step to the shooter, leaving themselves open).*

[mikey1029384]

@PrimeSportsTraining I agree with you in that popping out at shooters every 5 seconds will cause them to score (they would just pass, or use what you did as an opening).

However, I also disagree in that SOMETIMES you get that one dumb guy who just charges at you, or even when you find that there's no other choice but to charge at them. At the same time, I've found that whenever those shots are let in, it's due to either the goalie/defenders not seeing that one guy in front of the goal and
