Wow, a kid afraid to try something new.

Look at the pokechecks and pad stacks made. And look at that! There's fundamentally sound butterfly saves as well. IN MODERATION. Holy crap, as others have said, don't be so stubborn give it a shot in practice, and play around with it. The more options you have when stopping the puck the better. Don't throw bullcrap at me about being able to pull off a backside recovery on a backdoor pass being faster than a pad stack.
If you are, you're in denial.
