Understanding ‘Risk Management’ on Rims Behind Net

Skip the reading - show me the video!
Joseph Woll may be battling early season injury, but always brilliant in these video breakdown sessions, and we didn’t want to waste any more time getting back to the Toronto Maple Leafs standout for another Pro Reads entry from our extended in-season sit-down.

THE SCENARIO

Woll is facing a behind-the-net play against the Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers:

As this puck gets dumped behind the net from the point, what do you make of Woll’s decision to default into what he calls a “Split,” but others might refer to as a Double Seal or Reverse Track? Even if a lot of goalies may not be able to do this, why do you think he does?
As Woll shifts to his left post, what do you notice about his Reverse technique? Maybe think back to one of his recent Pro Reads where he talked about how he likes to enter and use his posts with the toe box – can you see a difference here? Can you think of why he might choose to use skate-on-post in this situation?
Also, where are the primary threats? Is the puck carrier the most dangerous option now?
How could the answer to that last question affect the one prior to it?

THE SAVE

Watch this sequence play out in real time and on the replays and ask the same questions?

Can you see why he might have defaulted down right away? Can you think of a reason he might have chosen skate-on-post instead of toe box for his Reverse entry on this particular play?

THE PRO READ

Now let’s check in with Woll to get his answers to all those questions.
