Is it me or are the younger goalies taught now when they are in their stance to keep their glove hand straight up.When I was growing up we were taught to keep your glove and blocker at the same height to have balance.My guess is if your glove is higher then your blocker the weight will be on you blocker foot.And also the puck comes from the ice up,so its faster for a goalie to move his glove up and catch the puck.I noticed this last at a open skate where there were three younger goalies who all had their glove pointed as if they were being sworn in with their left hand.With some good skaters they were getting lit up just over the pad and under the glove and watching them get mad I then noticed this.Im only 29 and yet they call me the fossil seeing how I play the hybrid/stand up style.Kinda of like richter,brodeur and hextall.
Keep on robbing them shooters fellow minders.Rock on
