It might be kinda obvious when you look at what things the pro's are doing but they really are streching all the time...

Watched Backstrom several times in the last week while sitting behind the net. We were amazed at his warmup / streaching at the start of the period. No other goalie that we saw went through as much trouble as he did to get ready for each period. It even continued during breaks in the action.
Other than that he looked pretty ordinary in the net during the action. He even gave up plenty of rebounds . Most of those rebounds however seemed to be just directly in front of him with him always being in position for a possible second shot.
