I read your post and all of the replys and yes there will be good games and bad games.

However part of the post didn't sit right with me and is a good clue as to why you will continue to have more bad games than you have to.


"Usually if i let one in i can convince myself that it wasnt my fault, that the D was bad, or there was someone in my way or whatever "

You need to make yourself personaly accountable for every single goal until you do this you will continue to hold yourself back from developing as much as possible.

Yes there will be goals where your D man didn't do their job but that is not a good enough excuse for getting scored on because if the puck got past you then you obviously did somthing wrong as well. So focus on what you did wrong and how to do it right because that is under your controll.

There will also be freaky fluke goals where there is not much you could have done just brush those ones off as nobody blames you for those ones anyways.

You also need to take on the attitude that if a goal goes in becuase you couldn't see it then you wernt looking hard enough.
