I always enjoy that "imaginary shot" demonstration. On those cross-ice passes setting up a one-timer, I'm personally super guilty of sliding across the vast majority of the time, especially if it's below the hashmarks, whether it seems like a quality pass or otherwise. A bad habit that I'm trying to break. I really miss body-contact when guys try to cut across on those low angle net drives...

[@FutureProGoaltending]

you would have loved it back in the day with solid 6" pegs so the net DIDNT come off ever. Lol about the goalie's knees

[@dbuell]

Another excellent video. I've been watching your series of videos daily for the last couple of weeks and finally got back on the ice last night after a week off due to covid restrictions in New Brunswick. With a gopro in the back of the net I'm now able to learn based all of the knowledge youve laid out and what I'm doing wrong (and right). Thank you!

[@FutureProGoaltending]

You are welcome. Keep giving ‘er!

Love the new format both from a coaching standpoint and BHLer. Appreciate the knowledge!

Great Video! I'm glad you are back

[@FutureProGoaltending]

Thanks Tony....

[@DsChelI]

Always a good day when it starts with a new video from the Keeks. You talked about the mature and immature release but I always struggle with the premature. Gotta try to keep my mind on the knee drive instead of baseball.

The goat with the 5 hole goals.....nice. Great insight and drills, and even better donut to start this video!!

Thanks Steve

Good stuff Keeks! Condenser at our rink conked out so 8 weeks until it's fixed. Looking forward to focusing on mental drills and videos in the interim.

[@FutureProGoaltending]

Thanks sir

[@anthonypeak2125]

Good evening Coach. Season two off to a great start and will not disappoint. The Kid looks good. Thanks Keeks.

[@FutureProGoaltending]

He is a great kid and a good junior goalie!

[@BeerLeagueEBUG]

Great Video good points...

[@irvingfive7955]

Nice video. I really enjoyed the perspective of your imaginary shot releases.

[@FutureProGoaltending]

Goalies are 99% accurate on shot location when you try the invisible puck drill. Especially if the shooter can deliver a very realistic release.

[@tipple58]

Real insights! (And it's not rocket science once you point it out.) Thank you. England salutes you.

Thanks!

[@klauskarlkraus]

I am former semi pro player and now I play only for the funs with team of ex pro and semi pro players but also with people who are really not good. What I noticed is that whenever someone knows what he is doing (good player) is shooting at me I have an easier time making saves than when a guy who is absolutely horrid is shooting at me. I just can't read the shot

[@FutureProGoaltending]

I struggled with that when I was with the Canucks and came home to play summer shinny. If you are good at reading the game the higher levels can be done as they do things they should/ can. A bender doesn’t even know what they are supposed to do in a given situation and have inconsistent releases. This makes us look foolish at time because they are very hard to read.

[@Krispy-bb6xo]

Congrats on 5K subs Steve! I saw 4.99K on the sub counter and I wanted to be the 5,000th!

[@FutureProGoaltending]

Thanks... Krispy! Could her that nice start to the channel without you!

[@Jimk435]

Great video coach, does anyone have any other articles/videos on reading the shot or analyzing the play?

[@FutureProGoaltending]

Not sure. Sorry

[@eddiedavidsson8640]

Super 👌 i Will use This method on the ICE with the kids and let them read the shoot.

[@MNhockeydude35]

When I was playing juniors our coach had a drill where we played a zone with an imaginary puck. It was insane how we knew exactly where the puck was going including when I knew I was scored on... No idea whey we did this but I think we were all shocked at how well it worked... by the way the blocker side high shot hit me in the high shoulder...

[@FutureProGoaltending]

Love it

[@MNhockeydude35]

Any curriculum suggestions for guys who want to learn how to train goalies. I would like to move into volunteer coaching in the next couple of years. @@FutureProGoaltending

[@treyrees9153]

On the invisible puck drill, I heard Brodeur would practice with white pucks being shot at 90mph. Since his sight was hindered, I assume he would have had to read the shooter in order to have made a save, right?

[@FutureProGoaltending]

I invented white pucks, mini pucks and clear pucks so....... yes the read is the stick blade, lead up and follow through

[@a47mlb]

Nice vid. Noob question; is there a technique for not spinning while in a butterfly slide? I’ve been trying to learn it, but end up spinning in one direction or the other sometimes ending up with my back to the shooter. Thanks

[@FutureProGoaltending]

can you get a video clip for me? there are several things it could be

[@a47mlb]

@@FutureProGoaltending I’ll try at some point. Thanks.

[@eduardopepez]

Well as a catch right goalie, my guesses were all wrong, when the goat said high glove side I had guessed high blocker side. And when he said low blocker side I was like no sir that’s low glove side. On the bright side I did guess the 5 hole one correctly.

[@FutureProGoaltending]

I will redo the video for the southpaws😎

[@weatherwatchTX]

I'm here for the Ford LOL... Is Josh currently in the NA, or a prospect ?

[@FutureProGoaltending]

He plays junior in Strathroy and with the pandemic, skates everyday with Horvat, koneckny, Suzuki etc London..Great kid....he is goalie guru at London source for sports and have video of one of his junior fights upcoming. Although I push against fighting this tilt was awesome, considering he is 150lbs...😎

@Martin Brichta thanks for the correction.. replying to comments without spelling research..... 😂

[@hlm_shyaa2330]

So just about every time when I come out to challenge weither its left or right I come out and they always get me but when in hugging the post the dont have that opportunity cause its completely sealed how can I block shots when I come out to challenge

If you can send some video clips of what you are doing I can give you some good tips

I always found players with whippy sticks harder to read the release.

No question.. it arrives later than you think based on the hand motion but the puck arrives on fire

Mike Bossy was great at fake telegraphing the shot.

[@FutureProGoaltending]

He was legend and had one of those releases that had zero warning it was coming. One of the best wristers in the history of the NHL

[@ajh7722]

Throaty burble on Gt... god help me coach, I can’t concentrate when you show that first thing on the video. I have to rewatch to get the information you actually wants us to see.

[@professor10157]

What ability is that? Not knowing how to stay on there feet? Show me any goal in the NHL Were the goalie wasn't on there knees after a shot on net. You can't STAY ON YOUR FEET!

[@FutureProGoaltending]

I have never said a goalie should stay on their feet. This isn’t 1970😎

[@professor10157]

Maybe that's the key to making more saves in todays hockey. Going back to the 70's and staying on your feet. Obviously this knee thing doesn't work. Watch any game, they no longer use there stick. FIVE HOLE! HE SHOOTS HE SCORES! SHORT SIDE HE SCORES! UP OVER THE SHOLDER HE SCORES!!🤪 STAND UP!

[@FutureProGoaltending]

@@professor10157 save percentages are the highest they have been the last 10 years…

[@professor10157]

The game has changed and the players are more dynamic. There coming in from behind the net and pulling lacrosse shots top corner. Knowing that goalie is going to be on his knees. Shots from the blue line and by the time the puck gets there he's on his knees. They make 1 save rebound it's in the net do to the goalie not being able to get across because he's on his knees. It's become a bad reflex to just automatically fall to your knees in todays game. Back in the day games were (3-1) (4-2) In todays game (7-6) (8-6)🤔🙄😏 embarrassing!
