in the same boat. took about 20 years off and have come back and have to learn this new butterfly style of play. I think practice is key for us guys. over time we will get it haha.

patrick roy and his consequences basically. dude revolutionized the whole position, by the time he retired most goalies followed suit because it just worked so good

@@user-io8sz7tf9t I may have been poor at describing what I meant. I am trying to figure out when in the last 20 years or so did the goalies go to this "butterfly only" sliding all over the crease on their knees, taking every shot from the butterfly stance, with the boxy pads to go with it? It seems to have really taken off in the last 12 years or so, but it the position went seemingly from hybrid to butterfly only overnight.

Tää on ainakin parempi ku paskana

🏆🤩

its a practice palm, they are really stiff and padded to prevent injury over the hundreds of shots, game palms are much thinner

I'd like to see his off ice training too. Secret to flexibility: Some are naturally more flexible than others but for guys like me it takes daily work. And pretty much every high level pro guy works on it daily. So, just good habits. I saw him the first time at U20 championships and what separated him already 20 years ago was the explosiveness and speed which he clearly has talent for. Some guys naturally have great jump ability that shows in the ice as amazing movement. When you make it even better with training and combine with other skills this is the result.

That is actually interesting that you are picking it up. If someone reads this comment it will help them to be much faster: In theory we want to lead with eyes and head which goalies at all levels aim to do and all the decent coaches teach it. BUT we have to look at real life outside of theory. If you are always doing "lead with the head and eyes before moving anything else" you'll be late often. Especially when you are with pro guys. Things just happen so fast that you can't simple "let me turn my head first". HERE IS ANOTHER SECRET that makes you faster: You scan the situation so you know the play before it happens. You know where the sticks are, what options players have and before the situation happens you know options. Visuals give your brain data to process and that is why it is super important to turn the head and scan the area. CONCLUSION: When you see the pass, you move to direction where you know the puck is going and while moving/turning you lock your eyes to the stick where the puck will land. And of course you'll need to know where the stick is where the pass is going to. Try this at the next practice and NOW YOU HAVE TAKE TO YOUR SPEED TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

@@GoalieForceThis was a real treat to watch of my very fave NHL player! Thank you! Would it be possible to video him in a workout and publish it? Would love to see how he stays so fit, strong and flexible.

@@GoalieForcethanks for this- super helpful!

Yeah you can really see the difference @3:06

I am going to be honest I think straps are better then velcro You can make the pads tighter

@@princemoneycat5294 i like velcro bc I dont like my pads too tight and the elastic straps give some flex rather than more stiff leather straps. Used both tho

Total fleury, and he’d def do that in a game as well

Agree
