This is a dangerous move, and occasionally the goaltender will miss and the puck-carrier will be left with an unguarded net. Screen shot: Screen shots are blind shots. On a screen shot, the goaltender must do everything possible to try to see the shot, dropping to the butterfly stance and thrusting their trapper out at the sound of a shot.
Some goalies, such as Ed Belfour or Ron Hextall, go as far as illegally punching players in the head or slashing their legs. Shuffle: A technique for lateral movement when the puck is relatively close to the net.
If the goaltender is not quick this techniques momentarily leaves the five-hole open. This is the most common method of movement for a goaltender. Skating: A common fallacy is that the goaltender can get by with merely adequate skating, and oftentimes young players are placed in net due to their poor skating. In fact, the goaltender must be one of the best technical skaters on the team, and must be able to keep up with the moves of every skater on opposing teams.
In particular, goaltenders must be adept at lateral skating and quick pivoting. Stacking the pads: When a goaltender is on the angle, often a sudden pass close to the net will leave the net relatively unguarded. Stance should also be conformed to the goaltenders style and comfort. Stick: The stick, held by the goaltender in their blocker hand, the blade of the stick should remain flat on the ice. Keep notice of the lie on a new stick. A high lie will force a goaltender to play on their heels, offsetting balance, while a low lie places a goaltender lower to the ice, and may affect high saves.
T-push: A technique used by goaltenders to move in a lateral direction. This method of lateral movement is most effective when the puck is far from the net. Telescoping: Telescoping is a method of moving inward and outward from the goal crease.
Most often used in setting up prior to the puck entering their zone, this move is accomplished by simply allowing your skates to separate, resulting in forward motion, then pulling your skates back together and stopping. At no time during a telescope do your skates leave the ice. The pocket is the area between the thumb and first finger of the glove, and is where most goaltenders try to catch the puck, as it reduces the discomfort of the goaltender and the chance of a rebound falling out of the glove.
Pro-fly: This style of play is derived from the butterfly style of play, although most will argue that this is nothing more than a marketing term. There are two main reasons why a hockey team will leave the net empty during the course of the game. To someone new watching the game of hockey, it may seem odd to have an empty net. Teams will often leave the net empty to add extra players on the ice to add to the offensive attack.
There are significant advantages to having an extra skater on the ice. Hockey is typically played 5 vs. However, when the goalie leaves the ice, the team can bring an extra skater on the ice to keep it 6 vs. This means there are still 5 skaters on the ice, with an additional skater and no goalie. Teams will get an extra skater on the ice to attack the net in a close game situation. In such cases, the coach may pull the goalie in favor of an additional skater until play is stopped and the penalty is assessed.
The two instances described above are really the only two situations in which a goalie leaves the net for any significant length of time. There are, however, moments when the goaltender leaves his net to make a play on the ice.
Usually, the goalie will stop and play the puck from behind his net to prevent the opposition from making a play deep in the offensive zone, but this takes just seconds to execute. Pulling the goalie is like the form of another power play but this time being 6 skaters to 5, with the added risk of an empty net. This extra skater will allow the team to overload the offensive zone, hopefully creating a mismatch since all the attacking players cannot be covered by the defensive team.
This mismatch will usually allow the offensive team to generate one or two good offensive scoring chances, and increase their ability to tie up the game. Pulling a goalie with only 1 to 2 minutes is a short enough amount of time to withstand getting scored on, but also giving your team an offensive advantage to make one final push to tie up the game and send it to overtime.
The goalie will usually not be pulled until the team pulling the goalie has possession of the puck the odd time, the goalie will be pulled on a faceoff at the other end of the rink. Imagine the team trying to rush the puck up the ice and the goalie skating out of his net to the bench to get one more attacker on the ice to try and score a goal.
In the regular season, if teams lose in regulation time the initial 60 minutes they will get zero points towards their place in the standings.
However, if the team is tied at the end of regulation time, the team who loses in overtime still gets one point , while the team who wins gets two points. Therefore, it is worth it for a team to try everything they can to tie up the game before regulation ends — not just because they will have a chance to win in overtime, but also because a tie means they will secure at least one point. Either in the or season, Boucher started to pull the goalie when his team was behind at the end of the game.
He is also credited with the innovation of using two goalies regularly throughout a season. For the longest period of time, the rule of thumb to pull the goalie was only in the last minute of the game.
It was almost unheard of to have the goalie pulled before the final 60 seconds. Patrick Roy, the Hall of Fame goaltender who became coach, was the really the first one to challenge this convention.
