Thank you for the feedback. We tried to address that in our more recent videos. Give them a watch and let us know your thoughts.

Thank you for the compliment, we have some content coming out soon.

Thank you for the feedback. It is something we definitely needed to improve. I hope you’ll watch our most recent videos where we made an effort to improve the general quality.

For great sound, purchase two things: a clip-on lapel mic and a sound recorder that can fit in your pocket. That would really help the sound for this great channel. (my son and I subscribe to it, as he is an aspiring 8 year old goalie.) I'm a film-maker. @@TotalGoaltendingDevelopment

Thank you for the positive feedback Robert. Welcome to the channel.

Thank you 🙏🏼

😂

This is a tricky one and requires a lot of patience. If you have good body control, you can usually catch an edge and power leg back in the correct direction. If you lose control, you always have your stick to poke check the player as the pull the puck back the other way.

You are very welcome. Practice makes perfect!

@@TotalGoaltendingDevelopment 👍

That is a rule of thumb that we recommend. It’s also important to match the players speed when you c-cut backwards and start from above the top of your crease.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support.

Thank you for the feedback, and appreciate your attention to detail 👍🏼

Make sure your gap control is good. If you back off too soon, you will create a lot of room for the shooter. If the gap between you and the puck is within a stick and a half length, it will require a really good shot to beat you. Don’t get frustrated, keep working!

That is some great insight Marc, thank you for sharing that!

Thank you for the feedback.

How about you remove your opinion and get off this KZbin page because goalies and coaches worked hard on this video and I think they are doing a great job and it’s badass. So, TICK TICK BOOM. Goodbye.

@@samweinsteinsmith1836 Thank you for your support. I know our goaltenders were very excited about the content.

@@samweinsteinsmith1836 yea

Thank you!

Thank you Gary.

Thank you very much for the feedback Gary.

Happy to hear. Thank you Alex.

He is 5’9 and wears a 33+1.

Ben, thank you very much for the feedback. We gladly accept any and all constructive criticism, and agree with the need for there to be content that is much more technical in nature. We approached this series as more of an introduction to some of these techniques, with the goal of keeping videos extremely short and concise. I am sorry if you felt that the title was misleading. We do have plans to get much more technical in future content, and your suggestions really help identify those areas of struggle for most goalies when using these techniques. We hope you become part of the community because these conversations are the ones we need to have regularly to ensure we are bringing goalies what they want and need.

@@TotalGoaltendingDevelopment Appreciate the response and I look forward to seeing more videos that are highly specific. I’d love to send beginner goalies to your YT channel so they can see more about the mechanics needed to be successful. Breaking down every part of a power slide, butterfly recovery, hand / head positioning, etc., would be amazing. There are plenty of videos out there that cater to the person who has some experience and how to get better, I hope y’all can cover the absolute beginner. And if you can get a mic, that would help the audio quality tremendously but totally understand if you don’t want to do that.

@@bencurry35 already looking into the mic and better equipment overall. This is our first time developing content so it’s a work in progress. I love the ideas, and there are definitely plans to do really detailed “how to” videos. Just might take a bit of time to get there. Be patient with us!

Jeff, thank you very much for your support and welcome to the channel. Go Leafs Go! Let’s hope Jack continues to have a lot more good night than bad.

@@TotalGoaltendingDevelopment Hope so!

Good luck

Totally agree Steve, situational awareness is key and understanding when to use one method versus another can make a huge difference. It is just another tool in our arsenal, but goalies need to know how to use it to be effective. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Jim, firstly, thank you for the suggestion. We are looking to improve the quality of the audio in the future, but are new to the content game so please be patient with us. Secondly, hopefully this feedback can help your issue with over rotation on your butterfly slides. The ability to get the leg into a position for full extension does require some mobility and flexibility in the hips. You said you are new to the position, so take some time working on the mobility side of things. There are a number of great off-ice drills that you can reference on YT , I like Maria's video called "GOALIES - Do THIS Everyday To Unlock Your Hips." We also have an off-ice program with a number of drills, if you'd like more info you can shoot us an email. I'd also like you to focus on what part of your blade you push from. Normally, pressure on the first third is ok, but if your balance is off at all, or your blade angle is off, you will over rotate. When I see this issue on the ice with our goalies, I tell them to feel like they are pushing from the heel of their blade instead of the toe. That forces your weight back, and tends to help with the rotation. The hope is that by feeling like your push is coming from the heel, it ends up forcing the entirety of your blade on the ice, rather than just the toe. It should also help you get a stronger more consistent push. Hope this helps, and welcome to the goaltending position!

@@TotalGoaltendingDevelopment THX for quick reply! Should I put the push skate equal to in line with opposite knee position or ahead of it ?. Am doing Maria's exercises helping immensely ( just 2nd year 72 yrs old in Old timers hockey & love it - Old D man so instruction absorption may be a little slower ha,ha)

That really depends on the scenario. If you are trying to cut back or push forward, the foot will be ahead or behind respectively. For practicing the heel push, start with it at neutral and level to the knee. Defensemen are a goalies best friend (next to goalposts) so please subscribe to the channel and turn notifications on to get notified of new content we publish.

This old dog has some new tricks. Hope you are staying safe Tristan, and let me know how you are enjoying the off-ice program. Would really appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for the positive feedback and welcome to the channel.

Thank you for the positive feedback and welcome to the channel!

If you are wanting to stay in shape, check out our new off-ice fitness program.

Thank you for the feedback. It was our first time shooting content at that arena and will definitely use a better mic next time. Appreciate you taking time to watch the video.

He uses a 3/4 cut.

Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it. Great suggestion, and something we will definitely look to do in future videos. Hope these help your goalies improve their game!

Yessir. See you there next week, better be ready!
