What I saw was a shift in the way goalies need to play in 2024. In the preseason and in the first 3 games I saw a simple stat that gets lost because "Goalies are weird and we leave them alone." from Huska in his own words. This is a recipe for disaster. Butterfly goaltending is dead in the age of the flex stick. Sand up hybrid goalie is the only way to win and the first to adopt it can steal 4 cups. Take 4 cups. Right side shots were routine with the "tracks rotation" from left to right, right to left. Wolf actually does it in his warmup? Then never uses it for a simple, no work, no panic, side to side standup save. Every single goalie, 23593 of them could do it before 1980. When games were 2-1 because goalies stood up. Games were 2-1 because goalies stood up . Now nobody even knows you can just do the "stand up side to side like a table hockey goalie with 1 simple arc" and stop 87% of every shot, never wasting he energy to try and use your pads as skates to move side to side while DOWN as they are all shooting UP. Fact. Pads have no edges.. Just STAND, move and do it like a wide pencil and not some broken hipped, broken kneed splayed can't move because pads don't have edges like skates guy and then hope those whippy sticks don't ELEVATE the puck. Watch film. You will see this correlation.
PANIC = BUTTERFLY… the opposing team sees PANIC when you butterfly. Don't panic. STICK SAVE because you are square and can "flash" outward with any body part because you are on your feet. Pads kill movement when on the ice instead f skates. A new way to see the saves. This is how guys played 70 games and the scores were 2-1. 1 leg down puck side, switch 1 leg down other side, That way? 1 leg always can push with a skate blade because that leg is 90 degrees and ready to stand. That MAKES THE SHOOTER PANIC… this is lost knowledge lol. Worst strategy in 2024. You want to get a Vesina? Stand up unless it is in the blue paint and then get all starfish and low. Wolf. Never do your AHL super wide thing as it makes the shooters salivate to go high on you 3 times in a row like Van did. Stand. Like you did game 2. Lok at the PP goal and it is just a standing side to side to stop it. 20% effort if you are on your skates lol. The first goalie tandem to not "shrink small because of focus like a hand that is WIDE to start but suddenly makes a tiny fist that is SMALL" Worst goalie habit by 100000000000000000000000000000% Thinking your "vison" that gets tiny on the puck is how your body should follow. Touching the puck with your nose is an instant goal. NEVER SCRUNCH UP. Stay Tall and WIDE and SQUARE. Stand up and save your energy for a season by not doing the Markstrom. Watch Ken Dryden. He watches the Puck, with his eyes, from his TALL HIGHT onto the Blade of his stick. Your head must move right down to your chin touching your chest to stand up and make a simple square save. It's at your feet? Now butterfly. Simple. No movement yet cover both high and low. 1 Pad left right leg kneeling instead of butterfly, or right. 1 pad butterfly. That is the new sneaky way. in my opinion.
