To pursue this further, what do you and your dad arrive at as a conclusion as to why you allowed the goal? Has there ever been a situation when your cookie cutter routine fell short?
Perhaps the conversation went something to the effect that "that was an impossible play? or save?" Were you capable of dissecting the play while recognizing that if YOU put the pressure on the shooter, perhaps the shooter would have choked? Or were you satisfied enough to just play passively and get scored on because you did not attack the situation?
Again, I do not expect (based solely on what I have read in your posts) that you are fully capable (with your relative inexperience) of doing this. There's no shame in that - it will come with time.
What you need to recognize is simple: sometimes we, as goalies, need to turn up the heat on the shooter and force the situation so it turns in our favour. Passive slides and 'textbook' plays will work much of the time: however, there are clearly times that we must help stack the outcome in our favour.
Tell you what, since you seem to have a lot of video on file, please post some goals scored against you and let us evaluate what you could have done differently. That would be a test of your convictions, a way to back your bravado with physical evidence.
