Shots on Goal: Goalie Mask Photos-Scott Munroe, Bridgeport Sound Tigers

Scott Slingsby — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:07:51 +0000

Earlier in the season while shooting the Sound Tigers-Devils game, Scott Munroe had a mask that closely resembled that of New York Islanders goalie Marty Biron.

As can be seen in tonight’s shots, Munroe also has a mask that bears a striking resemblance to that of Dwayne Rolson’s.

Munroe signed with the NY Islanders in the summer of 2009. He spent the previous four season in the Philadelphia Flyers system with the Philadelphia Phantoms. Scott was the winning goaltender in the longest AHL game ever played. It was Game 5 of the East Division Semifinals where the Philadelphia Phantoms faced the Albany River Rats. The game lasted 142:58 and ended in the fifth overtime where the Phantoms won 3-2. Munroe had 65 stops in the victory.

For the second week in a row I’ve got a mask from Ray Bishop. Please visit Ray’s website Bishop Designs to view more of his great work.

I shot these photos of Devan Dubnyk while he was with the Springfield Falcons earlier this season. Shortly after this game Dubnyk was called up to the Edmonton Oilers where he currently shares the Oilers net with Jeff Deslauriers after starting goaltender Nikolai Khabibulinn underwent season ending surgery.

Please Cast Your Vote – Should Roberto Luongo Use This Mask Design?

David Hutchison — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:03:29 +0000

Many readers have wondered – how does an artist break into the NHL market painting masks? Well, you can’t just have a web site and a sign saying “Goalie Mask Painting – $500 and up.”

Many budding artists will paint a design for a goalie and send it his way, hoping it will excite them and get used in a game. Once they have an “in” a cool design might well get seen by other pros and the magic of word of mouth marketing takes over.

Artist FX Allaire has an “in” to get his masks seen, so he did this cool design in hopes that Roberto Luongo would like it. What do you think? Please cast your vote and we’ll try to get word to Roberto!

To see more great work by FX visit his web site FXkustomART.com

Please leave a note in the comments – Why yes? Why no?

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Should Luongo use this mask with the Canucks?

Cap Raeder, Goaltending Coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning

Lonnie Herman — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 06:00:17 +0000

Cap Raeder, Assistant Coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, may not have invented the position of goaltender coach, but he didn’t miss by much.

After a successful career in the net at the University of New Hampshire, in 1973 Raeder was drafted by both Montreal in the NHL and the Hartford Whalers in the WHA, at that time the upstart league competing with the NHL for players. Raeder signed with Hartford and, after a brief stint in the minors, was called to the big team at the end of 1976 and started all the conference final games. He started the next year in the minors but returned to Hartford and ended up playing in the last 26 games that season while posting the third best goals-against average in the league.

But after two seasons during which he played some of his best hockey ever, his career started to slip.

“After that ’77 season, I never got it back again,” Raeder lamented. “I saw some pretty good goalies coming up and realized that I wasn’t going to be able to make a career of playing.”

Raeder returned to the University of New Hampshire in 1980 to finish up his degree and help coach the school hockey team. He served as the head coach of Clarkson University before joining the staff of the L.A. Kings in 1988.

Now in his 22^nd year of working with netminders in the NHL, Raeder, the Dean of goaltending coaches, reflected on the position that he has influenced so strongly and the changes that he has seen.

Mike Smith is one of Cap's Pupils in Tampa

InGoal: When did the position “Goaltending Coach” come into being?

CR: It really started in the 80’s, the early 80’s. Warren Strelow was one of the first ones. As far as I’m concerned he still was one of the best. I worked with him for 10 years in San Jose. He was the 1980 Olympic Goalie Coach, the Miracle on Ice. Now, it’s a specialized position. I think you’re seeing a lot better goaltenders coming through. They are much more knowledgeable.

InGoal: You have to attribute that to having a one-on-one coach working with them, right?

CR: Also, there are more goalie camps. There is a lot more available to the goaltender now than there was 20 or 30 years ago.

InGoal: What would you say is the biggest change in the position in the last 20 or 30 years?

CR: Well, one, it’s more specialized, which means a goaltender gets to work on specific areas during the course of a practice. They’re not just stopping shots. More focus now has been on movement. Also, the equipment has so much to do with it. Look, there’s more emphasis on the position now: we used to chuckle about how everyone talks about how goaltending is the most important position on the team, but nobody worked with them. Now, you find specialized coaching for goalies more and more and on more levels. There are more goalie camps for the kids and there are now more goalie coaches in junior hockey and in the colleges.

InGoal: The position has changed a lot in 30 years, but now look ahead 50 years; what is a goaltender like in 2060?

CR: Ha! I don’t look that far ahead, so who knows? I guess the protection and equipment will continue to improve. Maybe the net will be wider? I’d hate to see that. The position won’t stop evolving, and it’s been fun to see it evolve. I can tell you this; the kids I see in goaltending camps that I run in the summer are more focused now than ever. Another element of change is video. Teams are more systematic now, almost like football, thanks to video. Some teams now just keep a camera focused on the goaltender at all times so we have those films to work with. That’s where the game has changed; we’ve broken it down more. We’re looking at the feet, the hands, everything. It’s an art now. I think that’s why patience is needed, both with the goaltender and his coach, because the position is really a craft that has to be learned.

InGoal: How would one of the original six goaltenders like Gump Worsley or Terry Sawchuck do today, if they had to play the position in an NHL game tonight?

CR: How would they do? I guess they’d do alright…it’s a different game. Would they get blown out? It’s a good question, but I don’t think they would because they were smart. They had to figure out positioning all by themselves – and now you add today’s equipment, which is so much better. The old equipment was terrible! Now, everything is better. Just having a mask makes a goaltender less fearful. I think all those classic guys could make it today.

InGoal: You got into the goaltending coaching field very early, didn’t you?

CR: Yes, I did. I was a coach at The University of New Hampshire but in ’83, I took a year off and started going around to different colleges, mostly to see how other college programs functioned. I did that as a goaltending consultant; working with the goalies, but I was also learning how other college programs are run. I went to 15 different colleges, from U of Maine to Princeton to Yale, Bowling Green, Michigan, and on and on. I spent a week to 10 days at each college, working with the netminders. That was the start of being a goaltending coach for me. Back then, there were a few other goalie coaches around, just a handful – Dave Peterson, Wayne Thomas. Of course, Warren Strelow was our guru. I went back to college coaching for a few years and then went to the L.A. Kings as the Assistant Coach/Goalie Coach.

InGoal: Do you see a difference between goaltenders that come from Quebec compared to Ontario or Europe?

CR: I do. Lots of the stuff is universal but there are certain styles that develop from each region. I’m a little old school in that I believe that each goaltender has their own style and it’s up to me to work within that style. I don’t want to say ‘You have to do this or that’ in every situation. There are unique things each goaltender likes doing, and those things work for them. As long as it works for them, do it.

InGoal: Have all the goaltenders you’ve worked with over the years been receptive to your input, or have some resisted?

CR: I’ve been real lucky, because I give them the freedom to be themselves but there is a give and take. Usually, when you do that and you can sell what you’re doing and show them at the same time, they buy in. Now if you say, ‘You have to do this! You have to do that a certain way,’ well, you better be able to show them why. If I tell a goalie something, it’s because I believe it and I’ll prove it to them.

InGoal: Goaltenders have always been known as being “eccentric” and “different”. Is that still true or less true?

CR: I’d say less true. I think now they are more within the structure of the team. Not so isolated. When I played, I liked to be by myself before a game. I didn’t want to talk to anybody. And there were a lot of us like that. But not so much anymore. Maybe they’re more normal? Maybe it’s confidence. Before, you were on your own. Now, you’re not. A goaltender has someone to rely on. On the day of the game, I won’t say a word to the starting goaltender. Unless he wants to talk to me, I’m not talking to him. And only very rarely will I talk to a goalie between periods – only if I see something that has to change right away. Now the young kids in the system are a little different. You handle them differently than you do the guys here in the NHL. Down there it’s more “hands-on”. Here, it’s more of like, “you know what you have to do to prepare – if you want to talk to me, great, if not, that’s ok too.” These guys have their routines. They’re pros. I don’t want to screw them up, and that’s what can happen. You can overcoach. I believe that, so my schedule is very calculated. I’m here in Tampa for a week or two and then I go to Norfolk, to work with the goalies in the system. They can get tired of the coach and tired of the message, sometimes. There are only three of us; two goalies (Mike Smith and Antero Nittymaki) and me. Now that’s a nice thing, too, because you can really learn the personalities and get some type of communication or relationship going with them. That’s the beauty of my job, too. That’s why I like it. I can get to know the goalies. It’s not just stopping pucks; I get to really know them. That’s a nice part of it.

InGoal: Does that relationship extend to off-ice, also?

CR: Never. That’s never the case. There is respect, a nice respect that develops, but that’s as it should be.

InGoal: What’s the worst advice anyone can give a goalie?

CR: The worst advice? It would have to be something to sap a goalie’s confidence. Or something that knocks their character. That’s about the worst things you can say to a goaltender. Confidence is a thing that comes and goes. That’s true in any sport or any business, but it’s magnified on the rink. People say, “You’re only as good as your last save,” but I think goalies are only as good as the team around them. If your team is playing well defensively, then it’s all on you, as the goalie. Confidence is like the chicken or the egg, what comes first? You can help a goalie build a foundation to try to get confidence, but the mental aspect of the game, which is huge – a goaltender has to get that for himself. You can help them build towards it, but you don’t put on the finishing touch; they have to end up doing that. And, as a goaltending coach, that’s the way you want it; you want them to be self-reliant. And at this level, they better be, or they won’t be here long.

InGoal: Is that the dividing line between someone on the NHL level or the ECHL level? Confidence?

CR: Yeah. And ability has something to do with it. When you can stay steady and not have the highs or the lows, stay even-keeled, you’ll make it in the NHL.

InGoal: Who is the best you’ve ever seen at being “even-keeled’?

CR: Probably Martin Brodeur would be a wonderful example of that. Also, Ken Dryden was the king of even-keeled. He thought everything out. That’s so important; 82 games and the way they shoot the puck now and the pressure that’s on a goalie, that’s very important.

InGoal: How does a goaltender recover from letting in an easy goal?

CR: That’s a skill, too. We talk about that. Warren Strelow used to call it “rebounding” . You have to be able to rebound. It’s a mental strength, an inner strength. You’ve got to have it. That’s what separates a lot of guys. Take Brodeur – he can have a bad game or let in a bad goal, but you’d never know it the next game or the next period. That’s an art and sometimes it will develop with experience. You eventually figure out that guys let in bad goals and have bad games and have bad stretches. I don’t know one goaltender in the NHL that hasn’t has a bad stretch this year. Not one.

InGoal: Is there a secret to what you call “rebounding”? Is there a trick you can teach a goaltender?

CR: No, there are no tricks…there is such a thing as a foundation and the belief in your foundation. You have to be able to say, ‘yeah, I can do this. I had a bad game and didn’t get a bounce…’ you can do that if you have a foundation to build on – without a foundation a goaltender is floundering; “I stink, I can’t get it back,” they’ll think. Then it’s back to square one; let’s get back to the fundamentals. Just like a pitcher in baseball, it’s back to the mechanics. If you have a foundation, you will find your way back; you’ll find the confidence again. Is it a trick? No, it’s good hard work and the fundamentals. A goaltender will find times when the puck doesn’t look as good or he gets a bad bounce or he just doesn’t feel right; he’s fighting it. It happens. Ok, we’ll deal with it. As quick as it leaves you, it’s back.

InGoal: Sometimes a goalie is completely screened and has no chance of making a save; when that happens, will you tell the goaltender to just throw that one away and forget about it?

CR: Well, we’ll sit down and watch the video. Sometimes, they have to find the puck. As long as you’re working to find it, ok. You can just think, “I hope it hits me.” You have to find it. We try not to make excuses. There are enough excuses to make out there. Some goals you just can’t stop. It could be a hell of a play; I tip my hat to the shooter. Great shot, off the crossbar or in or a redirect. What can you do? Move on.

InGoal: How many hours in the week are you with the goaltenders?

CR: We try to spend 20 or 25 minutes before each practice working. Sometimes we’ll sit down and watch a video. Sometimes video after every single game at this level can get counter productive. This past week I saw a need to bring them both in and we looked at video. When we have the rookie camp in July, I’ll have four or five goaltenders here and we’ll critique video every day. That’s a whole different environment, the rookie camps. I like that. I like having all the young goalies together.

InGoal: It seems like you prefer to work with the young players.

CR: I do. There’s more to teach. On the NHL level, it’s more like maintenance. By the time they make the NHL, they are who they are. They have their own style and I just try to keep them centered and going.

Norfolk's Jaroslav Janus is working with Cap in the AHL as part of the Tampa Development System

InGoal: There is a perception that the goaltenders playing for Tampa Bay at the AHL level in Norfolk, Dustin Tokarski and Jaroslav Janus, are really talented. Do you agree?

CR: They are good, but how good they’ll be, I don’t know. They both have great attitudes and they are great kids. They’re very receptive to learning. How good will they become? I want them to make it to the NHL; that’s my goal. I hope they play in the NHL. Will it be with us? Don’t know. Hope so, but it might not be. But we don’t think about that. We think about getting better each day. My goal is to make them the best I can make them and for them to play I the NHL somewhere. That’s my goal..

InGoal: How do you explain a 17 game winning streak, like Antero Nittymaki has against Atlanta?

CR: Don’t go near him! No video, no talk. Once you get them going, let them go. He’s the one doing it, not me.

InGoal: The goaltenders are doing it, but you’re right there with them…

CR: All I want them to know is that I’m with them and I understand. I understand what they are going through. It’s a tough position and I’m with them. Good game or bad game, I’m still with them.

Shots on Goal: Goalie Photos-Bridgeport Sound Tigers Nathan Lawson vs Manchester Monarchs Jonathan Bernier

Scott Slingsby — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:47:59 +0000

Nathan Lawson picked up his 13th win of the season with a 2-1 overtime victory over the Manchester Monarchs.

With the victory, the Sound Tigers are now (30-27-3-6) and are in fifth place in the Atlantic Division with 69 points. Manchester (34-22-3-5) gained a point and remains in third place in the Atlantic Division with 76 points

(Click on Sound Tigers vs Monarchs to view more shots of the game.)

Nathan Lawson

Lawson, who earned the game’s second star, stopped 26 Manchester shots for his 13th win of the year (13-12-3). Lawson got help from defenseman Jake Gannon, who scored for the second time this season with what seemed like a routine shot on goal that beat Bernier to the far side. Jon Gleed scored his first goal when he deflected the puck into the net off a shot from left wing Trevor Smith.

Nabby’s New Mask – Evgeni Nabokov’s 2009-2010 Sharks Mask

David Hutchison — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:30:42 +0000

Artist Todd Miska of Miska Designs recently sent s along this great image of Nabby’s new Sharks mask.

Apparently assistant trainer Wes Howard came up with the idea of Poseidon, God of the Sea and Sharks swimming around him and the California seal on the back. The seal, which looks like some of the sickest work on the mask, includes the names of Nabby’s two kids.

If Goaltenders are Strange – What Does That Make Their Parents?

Dr. Adam Naylor, AASP-CC — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:15:13 +0000

Thoughts on Raising a Goaltender

It can be difficult being the parent of an athlete. The emotional bond between parent and child automatically leads to great passion and caring. At times this leads to overprotection, occasional overestimation of talent, and sometimes overpressing when great opportunities present themselves. A caring parent who only wishes the best for his child can find it a great challenge to achieve the subtle task of encouraging the values of sport without pushing. As if this challenge of being the “ideal” sports parent is not tough enough, perhaps you are the parent of a goaltender…

Goaltenders themselves have been called many things over the years, strange, different, misunderstood, weird, crazy…one can only wonder what labels should be put on a goaltender’s parent. While many of the tenets of good sports parenting remain the same for mothers and fathers of goalies (i.e. support, have only positives to say at the game, let the coach coach, etc.), the uniqueness of the position and perhaps the passion of its players provide unique challenges and opportunities.

Great sports parenting begins with allowing the athlete’s passion to lead the way. The athlete that has a clear voice in what to play and when to play this lays a great foundation to make the most out of every sporting experience. Once the decision to play has been made, the parent’s role is to support, to nurture the passion, and to protect. Doing these things alone begin to position the athlete for a positive hockey experience. This being said, there are added specifics that a parent can keep in mind to allow their child to maximize enjoyment and ultimately performance in the crease.

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Too often the caring parent over-cares and provides private lessons to excess.

First, keep it simple. Give your child the opportunity to learn the basics of goaltending correctly, not much more prior to the teenage years. It is true that specialized coaching is often needed for goaltenders. There are many junior and high school coaches that struggle working with goaltenders. Their having a sound understanding of basic and advanced technique for young netminders can be a lot to expect. Goaltending “gurus” are certainly valuable to your athlete’s development. This being said, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Too often the caring parent, over-cares and provides private lessons to excess. This too often only provides frustration to the athlete, parent, and coach. The young athlete needs to learn the basics to avoid bad habits. Yet just as importantly needs opportunities to play, time to develop, enjoyment of competition, and rest. Learning the basics of goaltending and mastering them in competition is sufficient at almost all levels of play.

Next, get the focus on enjoying playing today’s game. Young goaltenders are a passionate bunch for a variety of reasons. There are a lot of unique things about the position that inspire curiosity and enthusiasm. The equipment-most often the masks. Whether fierce or friendly, bold or basic, bruised or in pristine conditions, helmet artwork gets kids (and adults talking). The opportunity for great saves and glory inspire energy. YouTubed videos of great saves by goalies from the NHL through minor hockey can be watched for hours by young players. This enthusiasm is terrific. However, do not allow the efforts, discipline, and persistence on-ice that led to opportunities for great paint jobs and great saves get lost along the way. A wise parent creates a focus on the acts of “playing” hockey. This perhaps is the most difficult aspect of sports parenting. In essence, the parental role is to teach values without pushing. It is easy for a parent to lecture about hard work and to constantly remind a child to listen to his goalie coach. Unfortunately, due to uniqueness of a blood relationship these messages are lost and over time fall on deaf ears. The key to a parent teaching athletic values is to subtly ask the young athlete to consider the practices and perspectives that led to the glitz and glory. Furthermore, model the language and attitudes sought. So often it is these actions that teach children the most.

it is better to leave the rink with a child wanting more rather than leaving with a child that wished he had never shown up in the first place.

Lastly, support and protect. Enthusiastic kids want to play all day and every day. Encourage time off away from the rink to rest, recover, and re-energize. It is better to leave the rink with a child wanting more rather than leaving with a child that wished he had never shown up in the first place. Furthermore, coaches are always in need of goalies, but do not always know how to use them. Protect your child from serving simply as a target for the shooters of too many teams over the course of too many weeks. It is great to see a lot of pucks, but when the technique and body break down, the young athlete is not well served. Sometimes saying, “no,” to an extra practice or game reaps long term physical and mental benefits.

Also protect your child emotionally. The goaltender too often is the hero or the goat. In the later instances, players and coaches struggle to say the right things. In this day and age hockey at all levels is treated as “serious business,” regardless of appropriateness of this attitude the stresses upon players and coaches too often is dropped on the goaltender. In supporting your child, a pep talk at the conclusion of a “bad” game may not be well received. This being said, simply listening to a child’s frustration and reminding that tomorrow is another opportunity may be enough. Allow your goalie to experience the emotion of sport good and bad – these feelings are what makes sport so special – but the day or two after a tough beat, encourage them to get back into the crease with enthusiasm. Disappointment comes with caring, renewed optimism each next time on the ice is the mark of a champion.

It is often heard and is fair to say, “That it is tougher to watch your child compete than to be the competitor yourself.” This thought could not ring more true for the parent of a goalie. Regardless of the opportunities and challenges presented enjoy the family journey, encouraging your child’s passion and supporting him or her emotionally throughout.

Kari Lehtonen’s New Dallas Stars Mask a Clint Eastwood Tribute

David Hutchison — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:44:44 +0000

For Kari Lehtonen’s new mask after being obtained by the Dallas Stars, Dave Gunnarson produced a remarkable Clint Eastwood tribute – some incredible photorealistic work.

Daveart tells it best:

“The whole design is created as an old fashion film poster for a cowboy film. On one side we see Mr Eastwood motifs created in sepia look and golden tints, one with a young Clint and one with a slightly older. The design is created with a fantastic depth, strongly inspired by Eastwood’s films, in particular the great film Unforgiven.

The golden base changes into green as we take a look at the other side, where the Dallas Stars logo makes its mark and creates a cool look to the whole. On this side you can also see a motif of Clint with an ox whip, just like in the film, painted with old school oil paint tech.

The final touch that makes the design complete and creates a new smashing hit design for Lehtonen is the addition of the bullet holes here and there. A design with extreme detail work created with freehand airbrush technique.”

The great artwork is courtesy of inGoal Magazine friend Dave Gunnarsson. Check out all of Dave’s great work at DaveArt.com.
