Getting beat over the shoulder

I've been getting beat over my shoulder lately from in close.(glove side, I'm a righy) When a skater is going about 6-8 ft in front of me across the slot almost always going to my left. I butterfly and get beat alot of the time. Unfortunatley, i'm not reading some cues very well from the shooter to tell if he's going high. I don't like to look at the shooter's eyes, I always watch the puck. Do you guys/gals check out his eyes? Or do you check his shoulders and stick blade? It's kinda hard for me to follow the shoulders, but the stick angle isn't as bad.I don't like to take my eyes off the puck to check out the shooter's stance etc. I think I worry so much about the low shot, I am reluctant to stay up, where I'd probably make the save much more often.
