Dang, Fox beat me to it. That move on stick-side wrap-arounds is the best I've ever come to know. It almost always makes contact with the puck, and if it doesn't, it forces the shooter WAY wide or trips him and the puck glides harmlessly away.
Anyway, I've been playing a lot of pick-up hockey this summer, and both in roller and ice, I've been noticing a lot of hotshots behind the net trying that damned Michigan Wolverines goal from a few years back. Everyone remember that? The player behind the net picked the puck up on his stick and whipped it into the top (glove) corner of the net for an OT win. I've had it done once on me, and I almost cried...I vowed from that day forth that no one would ever embarass me like that. So, if you want to make the easy save on this or even stop the player from thinking about it, KEEP THE TOP CORNERS OCCUPIED. If you're on the stick side post, spread out and get your catch glove up near the corner. It's not so bad if he tries stick side corner cuz then you can just explode and get your big fat body and stick in front of him.
