"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 usual Winnipeg Jets backup is in the spotlight with No.1 Connor Hellebuyck injured, but it’s not like we needed an excuse to go back to Comrie, who has always openly shared how he — and Hellebuyck and Hets goalie coach Wade Flaherty — look at the game, both in real time and in video breakdown sessions like these.
THE SCENARIO
Comrie is facing a late 6-on-5 against the Calgary Flames as Dustin Wolf races to the bench and Nazem Kadri rushes into the zone on left wing, and while there is good insights into how he handles that initial sharp angle attack, the best insights come from how he manages the scramble and screen chance that follows it:
Looking at that freeze frame above, it’s clear Comrie is dealing with a lot of traffic as that puck bounces out to Flames MacKenzie Weegar, but from that camera angle where do you think he should try and re-establish a sight line on the puck?
Does he need to move to his right or his left?
Are there any clues that might help you determine which way to look?
Comrie was also just down on his right post, so if you were him would you be trying to get back up to your skates and coming out to challenge, or staying down?
If your first priority vision or net coverage?
THE SAVE
Now watch the save clip and replays to see how it worked out for Comrie:
