If you have time add depth to up the odds of a successful save or save and recovery. That is what this is showing you in a visual representation. Andrew if you put on a mask and want to win this all is in your practice. You are doing this in your drills now. This just breaks it down. Plus when some fellow wants to justify big bucks to teach you he has to do something special to make you get the value you paid for... I have coached all types of goalies since 1999. The good ones got better and the ok ones worked hard and got good. They ALL won more than lost and where not on great teams. The gave their teams a chance to win every time out. When you get good you enjoy the game more because you know what you are doing in the net. Anything else is just being a target. Goalies aren't targets. The net is the target.... We have one simple job on the ice and that is to stop pucks. When you are good it makes everyone want to play goalie because it looks so easy anyone can do it... till they try it...

If I had to think about all that during a game I'd need a clipboard on the top of the net to refer to! This is the most complicated description of goaltending I think I’ve ever read!

The thing I notice so often with out goalie school kids is that while they may take a strong forward position when the puck is direcly in front of the goal, when the play moves towards the circle they tend to retreat to the post (instead of the chevron at the edge of the blue ice). So they end up losing all their advantage and get scored on with a shot to the far side. Also, this explanation of angles suggests how clearly the younger or small goalie cannot play the deep butterfly style that we see in the NHL (see the article in Goalies World Magazine on Henrik Lundqvist). They are totally different games... Great article.
