It doesn't look like he is ready to stop a puck at any point. He is so methodical in his movements that he seems to forget the purpose of moving. He never gets set into a stance or makes a save at the end of his movement, its always right into the next one. This attitude becomes very apparent when it comes time to make the butterfly saves where he slowly places his knees on the ice instead of driving them down. Being a butterfly based goalie you would think that this part of the routine would get a little attention. When I am teaching my guys, its is always moving in your ready stance so when they stop they are ready to make a save or move in any direction, they aren't just thinking about the next move in the routine. Every butterfly is fast and they drive their knees down, especially when simulating a save. Its not just about getting the drill done its about doing it with intensity the whole way through.
