Rotate Before Reach: Technique in Desperation
The #1 goalie vision & cognitive training tool trusted by over 50 NHL & AHL goalies.
“Vizual Edge has added a quality element to my preparation as a goaltender. I use the game day drills every game before heading to the rink. It’s a combination of recognition, reaction and focus that activates my brain and eyes to feel ready for what’s to come.” — Jordan Binnington

THE SCENARIO
Woll could only chuckle as we cued up this replay because he knew what was coming, a second-straight breakdown of a ridiculous backdoor save off Vladimir Tarasenko, this time off an in-zone play that became more of a rush-style scoring chance.
THE SAVE
Since we already told you how this sequence ends, we’ll skip the freeze frame breakdowns and go straight to the video. As you watch this play, try to identify the threats and as how you’d do things differently. It’s okay to be critical because Woll was.
As good as that save was, do you see a path to making it less desperate?
Can you see why Woll ends up in this position?
Watch it again, but this time look for the reasons he is able to make the saves despite that.
THE PRO READ
Now let’s check in with Woll to get his answers to all those questions.
Still ahead in this article:
Woll's reaction to the no-look pass that beat him — and the exact word he uses to describe it — comes next.
