i disagree with the hop step.this move reverses the correct way to move from point A to point B. a goalie must always get his angle,then sqareness,then depth in that order.if you are on angle,you are always in a better posistion than if you have depth.this can be illustrated if you put a puck in front of the net have a friend stand off angle.you can look from behind the puck and see the amount of space open.its nice to have depth,but its not required to make a save.now,dont get me wrong,it helps alot to have depth,but its not a neccesity.
the hop step reverses the order that is key to being to point B,and being completely ready.in conclusion,its not a huge time difference,but its the difference between a goal and a save.
