Thanks! Great info! It would be awesome to have further deep dive into specific topics (i.e. one on one)

[@mirsidorov5112]

These are awesome!! How do these not have more views???????????????????

[@zoneperformance8475]

Why did you stop making your videos? They are great!

[@1bert719]

Even more impressive is that Vasilevskiy is naturally left handed but learnt to play right handed due to a lack of equipment. This is a very difficult thing to do. I believe Curtis Joseph also did the same.

Cujo didn’t do this but fuhr had to catch with his left because the lack of equipment

[@1bert719]

@@MarcoCostantini33 Fuhr caught with his right. Cujo was left handed but played orthodox, hence why he reversed his stick to play the puck.

@@1bert719 i meant fuhr had to catch with his left cuz they didnt make full right gloves yet

Nice. It seems like taking a path that angles back more would take a little longer to execute because you have to turn your body farther to get that trajectory that's opposite how you were facing the first shooter. So although it would be a better path, if you arrive later, that's also a drawback and you can only chose one: good path, or arriving early. In the end, if you're caught in a fast attack, either way could fail to produce a save. He might opt for the bad path when he judges he's in a tough spot and maybe he hopes that arriving early will at least give him the chance to be almost set enough to flare out a limb and get a "lucky" stop.

If I ever met Vasilevskiy, I'd pass out bc he's my favorite hockey player

[@coreyselover8460]

Love these videos. Can you tell me what you mean by "shoulder check?" Thank you!

[@1bert719]

It seems to refer to the move where the goalie stays tight to the post, shoulders squared to close out gaps and remain square to the shooters. Other videos seem to point to this too, like the Saro's breakdown.

[@mr_tiger_shark6961]

A should check is when he looks over his shoulder to evaluate and check for any players and threats. It helps him keep track of everyone on the ice and therefore allows him to play smarter. Shoulder checks are usually done when the pick carrier is not a threat and the goalie has time to quickly check over there shoulder. (Hope I explained this well enough)

[@1bert719]

Sounds logical enough, thanks for clarifying.

And now he has a Stanley Cup 😫😭😤
