yep. for a longer shot (longer meaning takes more time to get to u givin more reaction ime) the glove should be used to snatch the puck. but in a situation with little or no reaction time, a elbow extension raise should be used along with your shoulder. (now assume we are in the butterfly) this means instead of bringing ur glove up from on top of ur pad, u just raise your elbow up and out some, keeping ur glove in and close. this takes less time and will deflect the puck up and over the net.
all that really means is that making the save has nothing to do with glove positioning. hold the glove where u feel most comfortable and where it can be easy used. other than that, the gl;ove is goin to move around so the initial position doesnt mean much
