It might be just a different way of looking how to move your body. Either way, by the time that you are done your shoulders, hip bones and toes should be facing the shooter.

This is they way I've always approached it. Move the head and hands to lead/spot but your body and feet should be rotated and everything back to be setup square toward the puck before you're moving. Even as you start to look for your "reference point", you should already have your legs moving. In practice. In reality, I'm not nearly this consistent but for good goalies it has to be second nature.
