Renaming the wheel..

I totally agree with most of the posts here; its all about marketing, people rename something thats already been done/there and teach it as something new that they have developed and are leading the way with. The one example I find funny is how some schools or instructors have renamed the T-push a 'power-stride'. Next they'll rename the butterfly the 'Megasave' or something fancy! That said butterfly could do with being renamed, after all its hardly manly....

Standup with never come back, that type of way was a hangup from when goalies didn't wear helmets or have decent C/A and therefore wanted to make all their saves with their pads and stick. Butterfly is the overall % save but the bigger the toolbox the more likely you'll be able to have the correct save for each situation.
