Slobberknocker Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Seems like we did some homework on him. pretty much all goals yesterday were high blocker or to a lesser degree high glove. for as big and fast he is last nite he seemed like he couldn't raise his arms. would love to see vally do some study on this. (after we win of course) today andre started practice at 1:15 before the 2 practice by the team he was working on lateral movement, pucks not going through him and disciplined movement. this was taken from Jaffe's report on nhl network. P.S. Jackie Redmond is hot. Edited June 2, 2022 by Slobberknocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 He brings his hands down when he moves latterly, opening more space. i was thinking it might be a lower body injury, because he didn’t have the same movement last night. And rangers were making him move, like they knew it. They love to make those injured goalies moving back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 thank you. it did seem like that. and in looking at jaffe's report today it looks like he didn't work on that. could be nothing but if we did study him and find a chink in the armor... well played benoit.

Vally already mentioned this exact point in his series preview earlier in the week man lol That's why in last night's post-game show Biron joked that the Rangers clearly watched Vally's scouting report and followed it to a tee.

The Dude Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I mean.... Aren't ALL goalies susceptible to anything up high in the corners? You don't really get taught to shoot low on a goalie. It's a harder shot to pick a corner, but it's also harder to save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Seemed like to me that on Miller’s goal that Vasi was kind of cheating for the high blocker side shot and Miller went high glove side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hank mentioned it, but there's a strange movement in goaltending coaching that wants goalies to hold their glove like a catcher in baseball - palm facing forward, webbing vertical. This is fine for baseball when the object you're catching is being thrown from 60ft away but on defections and low shots, this creates a slow glove. This is exactly where Miller beat him last night. So while Vas has been susceptible high blocker (which I think all goalies are in some capacity) his real weakness is low glove, just over the pad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know who I first noticed held his glove this way? Varlamov. I remember going to a game against Colorado a few years ago and sitting behind the net and thinking why he was holding his glove so weird.

RJWantsTheCup Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I’ve always played with the thought of shooting high blocker or low glove side. Not that I ever shoot low. Plenty of goalies have told me the hardest save is above the shoulder right next to the neck but nobody aims for that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a strange movement at all and it's perfectly logical to hold the glove fingers up with the T of the glove point upward in the majority of situations. The puck is almost always coming from the ice upward to the glove and it's more natural to catch from that position compared to the older style goalies who had their gloves more down and to the side because you'd have to windmill your arm to catch the puck which would more often than not allow the puck to go past you when you were moving. When you have to be in perfect position and play the percentages, it's better to have your hands up like most goalies do now since you're in a better middle position.
