and percentage wise, pad stacks and half b-flies open more net and are obsolete. you create many more holes and take up much more net while increasing the risk of a rebound with a half b-fly. a pad stack completely takes u out of the play. u are going feet first somewhere , meaning u cant see where, while ending up on your side, back, or stomach with a rebound most likely laying out in a place u dont know. not tomention the whole top of the net is exposed.
statistically, a b-fly+top of the crease will stop more pucks than other possible save selections.

When when any goalie use a pad stack at the top of the crease?
You can argue a poke check opens more net, blah blah blah. The key is knowing when to use them.
