[/quote:1sdbqn2v]Yup that’s me. I was doing stats. First for everything. lol.
Oh yeah that sequence was wicked Joe, I bring you farm fresh milk, and you don’t make a photo sequence like that for me, mind you who did I do that to recently……
oh wait it was you!! Kinda hard to take pictures when you are the subject. haha
So that would also mean the phantoms aren’t against me on tuesday since that was the game it happened in"Azzy77":3ktvydco wrote:The only thing is, I don’t care if Patrick Roy turns up to Prems practise I don’t like rotating, its nothing personal, and I am sure you understand,
but we probably should be able to work something out.
[/quote:3ktvydco]There’s plenty of goals there Aaron, they can always bring a third one on and squish you all in.
I was wondering the other day about how goalies find team practises where often their role is just to stand in front of the goal and get shot at. I’m not sure what Jenel is doing, but often practices that I’ve seen previously don’t seem to give much training to goalies.
Made me wonder if the southern region should put some thought into a ‘goalie camp’ and focusing some coaching resources on time on specific things that goalies might need training for. There is a school of thought around that goalies are rather important to the team, though the Ducks are working to disprove this theory.

Know what I mean? I’m not coughing up that puck in the slot due to lack of skill — I had your interest in mind. And I agree, 2 goalies are enough for the prem practices.Are you traveling to Gore with us? Do you like long walks in the rain too?
[/quote:3ktvydco]That’s not extreme. Simon Christos took a shot on Aaron during the Easton Cup. Aaron wasn’t fully awake either, it took him a second to move and stop it.
Warm ups before the game? Meh, why bother when you can do it _during_ the game.
Problem for most goalies, is the focus by the coach on team play and leaving us out to try, but Bode is good at instructing the players on how to warm us up, and to make the drills, more game like which is what we need practise at.
In the good ol’ days practise seemed to be the time to see whether or not you could knock the goalies head off when he was getting his warm-up shots, and even know with Bodes instruction, you get a lot of people especially younger people with crap shots, coming into deke you after you have just recieved a shot from another player, or sometimes during, then they celebrate, yay for you, you effectively deked a non-existant obstacle, and pushed the puck past me. If any of you out there reading this if the goalie doesn’t appear to be looking at you in a warm-up don’t shoot it, and if you can see the goalies back definatlely don’t shoot it.
On the other hand maybe that will confuse you in a game, when you wait for the goalie to look at you before you shoot it.
Kyle its not good to just sqish all the goalies on there,
A/ not good for drills, ie messy
B/ To work on our angles the nets need to be in a position with frames of reference there ain’t that many on the ice.Simon was just upset cos he wasn’t getting any goals in that game, I had to inform him later he would not be credited with the goal if it hadn’t gone it.
I was really tired that game, it was about 5 cm from going in. My mind was somewhere elseI would be keen for any help you want to give me
I mean I feel like I can stop most things, but cos I taught myself i have some big holes in my game, that I won’t elaborate on here for fear of exploitation

Having said that, there could be different drills for the goalie/s who aren’t in the end nets which would still give them practice, but just not related to positioning. I’m not sure what they would be, but I’m sure it’s possible. At least you’d get a chance to practice rather than warming the bench.
Larry Wheeler and I were doing a horse shoe for the beginners last year. I was in net for the first few minutes, then we swapped. But I just joined in with the players and took my shot on net! And it went in

PS: This has to be one of the most unexpected problems to have! Normally there’s no goalies at practice and we have to practice our deking on good old woody.
one really needs to get to the point where frames of reference play a small part. Scrambles in front of the net for instance don’t give you time to look for a crease or check down ice to see if you are centered. It’s good training playing without a crease since it makes you aware of where your net is without a reference point.

[/quote:3qoo52ro]I plan to never reach that level. My problem when playing in goal is cracking my neck/head on the goal coz I was skating back and missed the goal crease

Just close your eyes and drop your chin with slapshots. Think happy thoughts and everything usually works out fine.
You don’t close you eyes and pray for the best for every save??
Haha, no but seriously good point about not being able to find the crease in a game, and plus the rinks inthis country are all over the place in dimensions, it gets really confusing going from one place to the next and not being able to figure out why the puck that you let go in one place to hit the boards, is in the back of the net in others
