It is faulty logic when you look at the statistics of where shots go and where goals are scored.
80+% of shots are in the low half of the net.
Over 65% of the goals are scored low, i.e. low blocker, 5 hole, low glove.
Therefore to put your hands in the position indicated by the picture above is going to help inflate those numbers on you.
A median, forward position is the best place.
